Method: Disperse the thickener in water at 75-80°C while stirring until a homogeneous gel forms. Combine with the separately mixed oil phase containing emulsifiers and emollients, heated to the same temperature. Stir until emulsion forms. Add sensitive components like active ingredients, fragrances, and preservatives once the mixture cools to 40-30°C.

Method: Disperse sunscreens and UV filters in suitable solvents. Combine and melt emollients, emulsifiers, and oil-soluble components at 75-80°C. Thickeners prevent the settling of pigments; disperse them separately under stirring in the water phase until a homogeneous gel forms and heat to 80°C. Combine the two mixtures progressively to form the emulsion with intensive stirring. Add sensitive components like active ingredients, fragrances, and preservatives once the mixture cools to 40-30°C.
