② The second generation is based on oil and water emulsion technology-based cosmetics. The eighteenth and nineteenth century European industrial revolution, the chemistry, physics, biology and medicine has been an unprecedented development, many new materials, equipment and technology is used in cosmetics, but also because after the surface chemistry, colloid chemistry , crystal chemistry, rheology and emulsion theory theory of development, the introduction of a dielectric surface active agents and the use of the hlb values, the problem of correct choice of emulsifiers of key issues.
Guidance in these scientific theories and a lot of practice after the people, cosmetics production has undergone tremendous changes, from the past, the original primary production of a small family, and gradually developed into a new professional science and technology.
