Forms stable W/O emulsion using cold or warm processes. Has to be added to oil phase of an emulsion, to which the water phase is incorporated slowly while stirring intensively. The coarsely dispersed pre-emulsion is then homogenized. The temperature of the water and oil phase should be approximately the same. In presence of a liquid oil phase, heating during emulsification process is not mandatory.
