Influence of vegetable oils in the rheology, texture profile and sensory properties of cosmetic formulations based on organogel.

Objective: The knowledge about how ingredients in formulation can influence the texture profile is an important factor on the development of a cosmetic product. In this context, the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of vegetable oils in the texture profile, rheological and sensorial properties of cosmetic formulations based on organogel.

Methods: Four organogel-based emulsions were developed and supplemented or not with sunflower, macadamia or olive oils.

Chemical Analysis and Evaluation of Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Photoprotective Activities of Engl. (Anacardiaceae).

Engl. is a native plant of Caatinga which has high concentrations of compounds capable of absorbing ultraviolet light, suggesting its potential application for the development of sunscreen preparations. After its identification and collection, this vegetable drug was submitted to a physicochemical analysis through the preparation of ethanolic extract.

Development and Evaluation of Photoprotective O/W Emulsions Containing Hydroalcoholic Extract of (Bromeliaceae).

is a Bromeliaceae plant species widely found in Brazil with several pharmacological properties, including photoprotective activity. Although herbal-based active ingredients have been applied in cosmetic products, especially for skin treatment, its application in sunscreen formulations remains unexplored. The aim of this work is to evaluate the photoprotective effect of cosmetic formulations containing hydroalcoholic extract of (Nv-HA).
