Formulations
For water in oil emulsions, add lecithin in the oil phase and heat to around 70°C and gently stirred until fully dissolved. Heat the water phase to the same temperature (in a separate beaker) and then very slowly trickle the water phase into the oil/lecithin phase and homogenise for around 5 minutes. Once cooled add a preservative and let to stand for 24 hours to get the final consistency.

Additional Information
