In this work, the composition of the fatty phase of a hydrophilic oil with an anti-aging effect was developed, including oil of sweet almond, avocado, wheat germ and grape seed. The effect of the emulsifier type on the ability of the hydrophilic oil to remove some decorative agents was studied. The results showed that the emulsifiers Tween 80, Sukragel, Cithrol 10 GTIS and Neowax SE PF promote the formation of multiple water/oil/water emulsions, which in turn positively affects the cleaning power of the hydrophilic oil. A feature of the proposed hydrophilic oil composition is the use of natural origin emulsifier Sukragel, which meets the requirements of the COSMOS eco-standard and has an ECOCERT certificate.
