Abstract

Cosmetics are products designed to enhance and beautify human appearance. This research focused on developing and assessing plantbased formulations, specifically aloe vera incorporated via the waterin- oil technique, with the goal of nourishing and hydrating the skin. A cold cream containing natural oils and aloe vera extract was evaluated for its quality through various methods. The formulated creams exhibited stable physical properties throughout the study, demonstrating good consis tency, spreading ability, appropriate pH levels, and no signs of phase separation. The stability of the cream, including its appearance, properties, viscosity, and fragrance, remained consistent over time. Cold creams, enriched with herbal extracts, offer a cooling and soothing effect as the water in the emulsion gradually evaporates. Herbal creams present several advantages compared to commercially produced creams. They do not have the adverse effects often found in synthetic products and instead contribute to skin nourishment. This study aimed to formulate a cold cream using natural oils and extracts from natural sources, deliberately avoiding synthetic chemicals.
