The effects of moisturisers's physico-chemical properties on customers preference towards foreign and local products

Moisturisers are colloidal in nature involving water globules microscopically dispersed throughout an oily medium. Modem chemical process industries utilize high shear mixing technology to create novel colloids which can produce an even better product. The long-term stability of particular colloid i...
