Before combining the oil and water phases when making moisturising lotion, the emulsifiers (Glyceryl stereate and Polysorbate 80) must be dissolved in either the oil or the water phase depending on their solubility properties. Decide in which phase each or both the emulsifiers must be dissolved and What type of emulsion (o/w or w/o) will this formulation form? Give a reason for your answer.
