The addition of these four thickening agents did not modify the base emulsion rheology, only an improvement in the sensory of the formulation was verified. The polarized light microscopy showed the formation of liquid crystalline structures in all the formulations, thus, the thickening agents did not influence in this parameter too. However, the emulsions could be considered appropriated for cosmetic purposes, probably being highly physically stable. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.532-538engEmulsionsliquid crystalspolymersrheologythickening agentsEmulsion rheologyLiquid crystallineRheological measurementsThickening agentsElasticityEmulsificationLiquid crystalsPolymersRheologyArtigo10.1080/01932691.2012.683759WOS:000316780300012Acesso restrito2-s2.0-8487586987248424625132856063316011688829943
