Abstract :

Cold creams are widely used for their moisturizing and protective properties, providing a barrier against harsh environmental conditions. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a cold cream infused with natural antioxidants to enhance skin health and provide additional anti-aging benefits. The antioxidants were derived from natural sources such as green tea extract, vitamin E, and essential oils known for their skin-protective properties.
The cold cream was formulated using an oil-in-water emulsion system, incorporating ingredients like beeswax, almond oil, and glycerin for optimal skin hydration and emollience. The antioxidant blend was optimized for stability and compatibility within the formulation. Evaluation parameters included physicochemical properties such as pH, viscosity, spreadability, and stability under various storage conditions. Additionally, the formulation was assessed for its antioxidant activity using DPPH radical scavenging assays and skin compatibility through patch tests.
The results demonstrated that the antioxidant-infused cold cream exhibited excellent stability, satisfactory moisturizing properties, and significant antioxidant activity. Skin compatibility studies revealed no signs of irritation or adverse effects, making it suitable for all skin types. This study highlights the potential of combining cosmetic and therapeutic benefits in skincare formulations, offering enhanced functionality for consumers.
