Abstract :
Topical creams are widely used for skin hydration, protection, and therapeutic purposes. The present study focuses on the quality assessment of a marketed cream, NIVEA Creme, using standard physicochemical and performance evaluation parameters. The formulation was assessed for organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, spreadability, homogeneity, stability, and skin compatibility. Results indicate that the cream possesses excellent quality attributes, making it suitable for routine dermatological use. The findings confirm that NIVEA cream meets standard requirements for topical formulations and demonstrates high consumer acceptability.
Keywords: Marketed cream formulation, physicochemical evaluation, quality assessment, topical formulation, stability studies, drug content uniformity, in vitro release, spreadability, viscosity, pH determination.
