If I don’t know what an emulsifier is, then chances are… I probably don’t know what an emulsion is either

That’s like if a biology teacher tells a student “taxonomy is the classification of taxonomical groups” yeah no shit, asshole

    Fair enough.

    Emulsifiers are molecules with polar and a nonpolar end allowing it to attract both oil and water. Emulsions are mixtures of oil and water. Without an emulsifier, oil and water do not mix.

    Examples:

    Lecithin - an emulsifier extracted from Soybeans which is used to mix Chocolate.

    Stearic Acid - another vegetable based emulsifier used to make lotions, which are usually just a mixture of water, oils, and an antifungal and antibacterial preservative.
