Abstract

Nowadays, cosmetics are becoming more high demand in daily life and it was used frequently by many of people per year. Moisturizing serum is a bland of oleaginous substances that are applied to the skin by rubbing which used to replace natural skin oil, to cover tiny fissures in the skin and to provide a soothing protective film. Argan oil is a plant oil that produced from Argan tree (Argania spinose) which become oneof the main roles in the dermocosmetic field due to higher in moisturizer contents. The main objective of the research is to evaluate the characteristics of cosmetic serum and to identify the best formulation of cosmetic serum containing Argan oil as moisturizing agent. Five formulations of cosmetic serum (F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5) with different concentration of Argan oil have been developed. They were evaluated for its physical appearance, pH, rheology, spreadability, skin moisturizing, stability test and analysed by using ANOVA single factor. The product was milky white, rose cheek smell, non-greasy, non-oily and homogen. The result showed that pH of five formulations have shown significant different (p<0.05) and was fall into acceptable range (pH 5-6). Stability study at low and room temperature shown all formulation were stable except for high temperature (at 40°C) only F2 after week 1. Statistical result indicated that there was significant different between all formulations in moisturizing effect (p<0.05) and F3 gave higher percentage of moisture rising. Rheological analysis shows all five formulations were pass over 30% of torque point. Formulation 2, 3 and 4 gave more than 50% of spreadability percentage compared with formulation 1 and 5. In this study, it can be concluded that the F2 of formulated cosmetic serum are stable and could delivered high moisturizer effect on the skin.
