The main purpose of this work is to study emulsions stabilized by microparticles of kaolin clay of the Alekseevskoye deposit and bentonite clay of the Tagansky deposit to obtain safe, environmentally friendly and cost-effective stabilizers of natural origin, which can be used for the preparation of cosmetic emulsions. The article shows the oxide composition and mineralogical composition of clays. By analyzing the particle size distribution, the average particle sizes of kaolin and bentonite clays were determined. The effect of nonionic surfactants (Tween 85, Synperionic 13/6), the oil phase (decane, squalane) nature on the stability of the emulsion were studied. Using the optical microscopy method, the structure and the type of Pickering emulsions were studied.
