Oil-in-water

Oil-in-water is a type of mixture where tiny oil droplets are dispersed evenly throughout water, creating a stable blend called an emulsion. Because oil and water naturally don't mix, special agents called emulsifiers are often used to hold the oil droplets in suspension, preventing separation. This type of emulsion is common in products like salad dressings, moisturizers, and certain healthcare formulations. Essentially, oil-in-water mixtures appear uniform but consist of two distinct substances combined at a microscopic level, allowing for easier application and improved stability in various products.
