About the Webinar

Join us for this special webinar to celebrate the One Year Anniversary ot the IFSCC Webinar Series. Tony O'Lenick, former IFSCC Chair of Education, and the Praesidium Member who first proposed a webinar series, will be our Presenter. He gave our first webinar, and we're delighted to welcome him back to celebrate our year of sharing science with you.

We have all heard the adages: "oil and water don't mix", "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush", "silicone is not soluble in oil or water". While these adages have an element of truth, they are not universally true.

In cosmetic science there are many instances where assumptions limit our ability to formulate some great products. Instead of saying simply "anionic and cationic surfactants don't mix", we'll examine what molecules we can add to make them mix, why these work, and what the resulting aqueous system is.
