Aromatic chemicals or essential oils After emulsification, immediate sep- aration was noted with Hydroxy- citrondial and Benzyl Alcohol. Dis- coloration occurred with Methyl Anthranilate, and creaming was observed. Amyl Cinnamic Aide- hyde and Methyl Ionone separated after three days. The emulsions in the controlling bottle lasted five days. The essential oils did not cause separation of emulsions with Gum Arabic. EFFECT OF CHEMICALS ON STABILITY OF EMULSIONS 377 EXPLANATION OF TABLE 1 1. Emulsions with Trierhanoi- amine Stearate without aromatic chemicals lasted five days. With the addition of Phenylethyl Alcohol, Hydroxycitronellal, and Geraniol, their life was short, less than one hour. With the remaining aro- matic chemicals, the emulsions stood for five days. Note the shortening of the life of the emulsions under the effect of the three chemicals. 2. The life of the emulsions with soap was lengthened from two to more than seven days by all the aromatic chemicals except Benzyl Alcohol and Methyl Anthranilate. 3. The life of the Duponol emul- sions was shortened to two days in comparison with four days in the case of the control. The Hydroxy- citrondial separated the emulsion after two hours. The life of this emulsion was shortened to two days with Linalyl Acetate, Geraniol, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol and Methyl Ionone. No effect was ob- served with Phenylethyl Alcohol and Hydroxycitronellal. 4. The Gum Arabic emulsions were broken by Hydroxycitronellal and Benzyl Alcohol. EXPLANATION OF TABLE 2 1. The life of the Triethanolamine emulsions with Geranium, Laven- der, Sandalwood, and Rose de Mai was short, lasting only two hours. This is similar to the aromatic chem- icals of a rose character such as Phenylethyl Alcohol, and Geraniol. 2. The soap emulsions with most
