Did you mean Microemulsion?

GlossaryMicroemulsion

mixture with tiny, evenly dispersed liquid droplets

A microemulsion is a type of mixture where tiny droplets of one liquid are evenly dispersed within another liquid, often with the help of surfactants. These droplets are so small that they are typically invisible to the naked eye and can enhance the delivery of active ingredients in products like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, including hair treatments.
