Sensory properties are fundamental in determining the success of a cosmetic\nproduct. In this work, we assessed the influence of different oils and emulsifiers on the\nphysicochemical and sensory properties of anti-ageing cosmetic O/W emulsions containing\nvitamin E acetate as active ingredient. No clear correlation between physicochemical\nproperties and sensory characteristics was evidenced. Sensorial evaluation of these\nformulations pointed out that the emulsifier systems affected the perceived oiliness and\nabsorbency during application of the product, thus influencing its acceptance. These results\nsuggest the need for more detailed studies on the physicochemical factors involved in\ndetermining the consumers� acceptance.
