Abstract
Three sunscreen compounds, p-amino benzoic acid (PABA), octyl-dimethyl -p-amino benzoic acid (ODP), and 2-hydroxy-4-methyoxy-5-sulfobenzophen one (HMSB) were incorporated into a model microemulsion system stabili zed by sodium dodecyl sulfate and pentanol. The PABA acted as a hydrot rope supporting the stability of an oil-in-water microemulsion, while ODP had the opposite effect. HMSB, finally retained both the oil-in-wa ter and the water-in-oil parts of the microemulsion system.
