Development Of Lotion Formulations To Strengthen And Retain Moisturizer Of The Body Skin Using Natural Extracts Products

Abstract

The structure of the lotion consists of two-phase which are a mixture of water and oil phases that contains natural extracts to increase skin moisturizer. The benefits of Bigel are non-gooey feeling and easy cleaning. However, the study and development of lotion formulations containing natural extracts should be concerned with the physical stability of lotion formulations, the penetration of active ingredient, and water evaporation from skin as well.

This work, we investigated the rate of water evaporation through the skin. We also develop the lotion formulations, evaluate the physical stability of lotion formulations and determine the penetration of active ingredient and water evaporation from skin for 6 lotion formulations as well.

Lotion formulations from natural extracts are formulated and mixed by the homogenizer. This research is involved with the development process of lotion containing natural extracts preparation and study the effect of the mixing speed and time. The physical and chemical stability of lotions evaluated under the typical and accelerated conditions. The lotions contain with natural extracts such as Cholesterol, Shea butter (refined), Olive oil (extra pure), Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate, Buckwheat wax, Raffinose, Hydrolyzed algin, Chlorella vulgaris extract and Maris aqua are prepared and compared each other.

To develop the lotion formulations containing natural extracts, we used four types of lotions mixed with the natural extracts. To mix the lotions with natural extracts, we used mixing speeds at 400, 800 and 1200 rpm for 10 minutes and 1200 rpm for 13 minutes. There is no significant difference in physical properties observed in lotions containing natural extracts (mixed at 1200 rpm for 13 minutes). Nevertheless, we found that the rate of water evaporation through the skin in this work (41.13±0.53) is higher than Bigel (39.86±1.09) and Organogel (37.94±1.14).

The lotion formulations can contain many kinds of natural extracts. The lotions should have non-gooey feeling and easy cleaning properties. We found that there is a better process to produce lotion formulations containing natural extracts to prevent water evaporation through the skin than Bigel and Organogel formulations.
