Abstract: Solid perfume based on beeswax is a unique and natural fragrance product that provides a long-
lasting scent while being gentle on the skin. This type of perfume is made from a combination of natural
ingredients, including beeswax, carrier oils, and essential oils. The beeswax acts as a natural emulsifier,
which helps to blend the other ingredients and create a solid, compact texture. The carrier oils and
essential oils provide the fragrance, which is released slowly and subtly throughout the day. Solid perfume
based on beeswax is an excellent alternative to traditional liquid perfumes, as it is more portable, easy to
apply, and environmentally friendly. It is also a perfect choice for those with sensitive skin, it contains no
alcohol or synthetic ingredients that can irritate the skin. To ensure the success of the presented collection,
several quality factors have been established, which will be the same for all four perfumes in the collection,
as well as the evaluation indexes of these factors. Quality factors have been classified as sensory, with
factors such as the applicability of the product to the skin, and physicochemical, establishing the melting
point and stability of the product.mm/second, melting point 90°C and pH value 4.

I. INTRODUCTION
Solid perfumes have been gaining popularity in recent years as a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to
traditional liquid perfumes. Unlike liquid perfumes, which are often packaged in plastic or glass bottles and contain
high amounts of synthetic fragrances, solid perfumes use natural waxes and carrier oils as a base, and are typically
scented with essential oils or herbal extracts. This project aims to develop a beeswax and almond carrier oil-based solid
perfume that is scented with rose oil. The goal is to create a natural and sustainable solid perfume that provides a
delightful floral fragrance, while also offering therapeutic benefits through the use of essential oils1. The formulation of
the solid perfume will be based on a blend of natural ingredients, including beeswax and almond carrier oil. Beeswax is
a natural wax produced by honey bees, and has unique emollient and protective properties, making it an excellent
natural alternative to synthetic waxes and petroleum- based ingredients commonly found in cosmetics. Almond carrier
oil, on the other hand, is a light, non-greasy oil that is easily absorbed by the skin, providing nourishing and
moisturizing properties. The fragrance of the solid perfume will be provided by rose oil, a natural essential oil extracted
from rose petals. Rose oil has a delicate and pleasant floral fragrance, and is known for its calming and relaxing
properties2. We will be using a variety of essential oils to create our unique fragrance. Essential oils are concentrated
plant extracts that are derived from flowers, leaves, and other parts of plants. They have a wide range of therapeutic
benefits and can be used to create beautiful and complex fragrances.
Here are the essential oils we will be using in solid perfume3:
1. Lavender essential oil - known for its calming and soothing properties.
2. Rose essential oil a romantic and uplifting scent.
3. Ylang-ylang essential oil - a sweet and floral fragrance.
4. Cedarwood essential oil - a woody and grounding scent.
5. Bergamot essential oil - a citrusy and refreshing fragrance.

Together, these essential oils will create a beautiful and balanced fragrance that will be perfect for creating beeswax
solid perfume, we will need a few additional ingredients. In addition to the essential oils mentioned earlier, we will be
using carrier oils to help dilute the essential oils and create a smooth and spreadable texture.
Here are the carrier oils we will be using4:
1. Sweet almond oil - a light and nourishing oil that is easily absorbed by the skin.
2. Jojoba oil a versatile and moisturizing oil that is similar in composition to our skin's natural oils.
3. Coconut oil - a soothing and hydrating oil that is solid at room temperature, making it ideal for a solid perfume.
This project will involve selecting appropriate ingredients, formulating the perfume, testing and evaluating the product,
and designing eco-friendly packaging. The final product will be a natural and sustainable alternative to traditional liquid
perfumes, offering a delightful floral fragrance with therapeutic benefits.
Overall, this project represents an exciting opportunity to explore the potential of natural ingredients in creating
sustainable and eco-friendly cosmetics, while also providing a delightful fragrance experience.

IV. MATERIALS AND METHODS

A) Materials
1) Bees Wax
Beeswax is a food grade wax with a white color when it is freshly prepared. Later the color changes into yellow
because of the presence of propolis and pollen colorants. The typical odor of beeswax depends on the honey, bees,
propolis, and pollen. Beeswax is crystalline in form and it mainly depends on the storage. Along with the
crystallization, the elasticity and stiffness of the wax also increases during storage. The important quality of beeswax is
its hardness. At low temperatures the beeswax exhibits higher rates of elasticity.

The heating process changes the physical properties of beeswax. Shrinkage of heated beeswax occurs by 10% upon
cooling. When the beeswax is heated at the temperature of 30-35°C, it attains the properties of plastics. Beeswax is
insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents, such as ether, acetone, xylol, benzene, chloroform, and
tetrachloromethane. In order to completely dissolve the beeswax, the temperature must be increased beyond its melting
point. The edible coating made up of beeswax, coconut oil, and sunflower oil has been used on strawberries and apricot
fruits. This coating showed a positive effect on the moisture loss, appearance, texture, and firmness. The coconut oil
containing monolauric acid showed antifungal effect on the coated fruit samples (Irina, 2012). The edible coating of
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, beeswax, and antifungal components, such as sodium methyl paraben, sodium
benzoate, and sodium ethyl paraben has been studied on cherry tomatoes. It was found that the coating of
hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose-beeswax containing sdium benzoate (2%) showed a decreased rate of change in the
weight or moisture loss, firmness, and respiration5.
2) Carrier oils.
What are carrier oils?
Carrier oils and essential oils are made from plants. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and "carry" them to your
skin. That's because essential oils are potent and can cause irritation when applied directly to your skin.

Most carrier oils are unscented or lightly scented and don't interfere with an essential oil's therapeutic properties. They
may be used alone or with other oils to nourish your skin6.

Fi
gure No-2 Almond oil7
Combining with other carrier oils. Almond oil can help lighten heavier carrier oils, helping them absorb more easily
Bath oil. Almond oil is a great choice as a carrier oil for essential oil-based bath oils. This helps to increase
moisturizing properties while maximizing the benefits of the essential oils. Skin moisturizers. Because it is easily
absorbed and moisturizing, almond oil can make a great carrier oil for natural essential oil-based lotions, lotion bars,
balms or moisturizing scrubs. Topical application. Because it has a subtle scent and doesn't leave a greasy residue,
almond oil is a great choice as a carrier oil for basic topical essential oil application, for example - massage oils.

3) Essential Oil
An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile (easily evaporated at normal temperatures)
chemical compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetheroleum, or simply as
the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove. An essential oil is essential in the sense that it
contains the essence of the plant's fragrance the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived8. The term
"essential" used here does not mean indispensable or usable by the human body, as with the terms essential amino acid
or essential fatty acid, which are so called because they are nutritionally required by a living organism9.
Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using steam. Other processes include expression, solvent
extraction, sfumatura, absolute oil extraction, resin tapping, wax embedding, and cold pressing. They are used in
perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, air fresheners and other products, for flavoring food and drink, and for adding scents to
incense and household cleaning products. essential oils are often used for aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine
in which healing effects are ascribed to aromatic compounds. Aromatherapy may be useful to induce relaxation, but
there is not sufficient evidence that essential oils can effectively treat any condition. Improper use of essential oils may
cause harm including allergic reactions, inflammation and skin irritation. Children may be particularly susceptible to
the toxic effects of improper use. Essential oils can be poisonous if ingested or absorbed through the skin10.
Rose oil
Rose oil is a fragrant essential oil that is extracted from the petals of various species of roses, most commonly Rosa
damascena and Rosa centifolia. It is a highly prized and valuable oil in the perfume industry due to its complex and rich
floral scent, as well as its therapeutic properties.

Figure No-3 Rose Oil

Rose oil is obtained through a process of steam distillation, which involves placing the petals in a still and passing
steam through them to release the oil. The resulting oil is highly concentrated and potent, with a deep, rich aroma that is
prized in perfumery.
Rose oil has a number of therapeutic benefits, and is often used in aromatherapy and natural health remedies. It is
believed to have a calming effect on the nervous system, and is often used to reduce stress and anxiety. It is also used as
a skin care ingredient, as it has moisturizing and anti- inflammatory properties that can help to soothe and hydrate the
skin11.

i) Melt together the wax with the jojoba or sweet almond oil. You can either microwave the ingredients for a few
seconds in a microwave-safe container or else you can heat the mixture over a double-boiler.
ii) Once this mixture has liquefied, remove it from heat. Stir in the essential oils. You can use a toothpick, straw or even
a spoon. Expect your perfume to coat the stirrer, so either use something disposable or else something you can wash
(i.e., don't use a wooden spoon, unless you want it to smell pretty forever).
iii) Pour the liquid into your final container. Set the lid on top of the container, but leave it ajar. This will help prevent
condensation inside your container while minimizing the chance of microbial contamination of the product.
iv) Apply the perfume by rubbing a finger on the product to liquefy it, then rub your finger on the area you want to be
scented.

C) Essential Oil Refractive Index

Refractive index is one of the parameters of quality analysis of essential oil based on SNI 06-2385- 2006. Refractive
index of Jasmine oil was about 1.47028-1.47038. This value was similar to Ginting 2019 with refractive index of
Jasmine oil 1,478 whereas in general the value of Jasmine oil refractive index was about 1470-1492.13
D) pH Test of Solid Perfume
Formulation pH standard for topical preparation in contact with skin was about 4-8.14The pH value was expected not to
be too acidic because it can cause irritation and not too alkaline because it can cause scaly skin. The resulting solid
perfume was tested using universal pH paper and had pH value of 4. This pH value was considered safe for topical
preparation for human skin application. Moreover, the content of this solid perfume was cocoa butter which contained
fatty acids that similar to fatty acids composition on the skin.15
E) Homogeneity of Solid Perfume Formulations
Homogeneity test of solid perfume was conducted by applying the samples to a flat glass surface. The results of this test
showed there were no coarse grains on the surface of the glass. According to Nurany et al (2018) homogeneous product
had no coarse grain on the glass surface that had been smeared by the product.16
F) Antimicrobial Test17
To perform an antimicrobial test for a rose oil, you will need the following materials:
Rose oil sample
a) Sterile swabs or a sterile loop
b) Agar plates
c) Incubator
d) Microbial culture (such as Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus)
Here are the steps to perform the antimicrobial test:
1. Prepare the agar plates by following the manufacturer's instructions. Allow the plates to cool and solidify.
2. Using sterile swabs or a sterile loop, streak the microbial culture onto the agar plates. This can be done in a pattern
such as the streak method, spread plate method, or spot inoculation.
3. Allow the microbial culture to dry on the agar plates.
4. Apply a small amount of the solid perfume sample onto a sterile swab.
5. Use the swab to apply the solid perfume sample onto the microbial culture on the agar plates.
6. Incubate the agar plates at an appropriate temperature for the microbial culture being used.
7. After incubation, observe the agar plates for any inhibition of microbial growth around the solid
perfume sample. If the growth is inhibited, the solid perfume has antimicrobial properties.
G) Melting Point of Solid Perfume Formulation
The melting point is one of quality testing for solid perfume products. This test represents the stability of product
quality during manufacture, storage, and usage processes.18 Melting point results for all solid perfume variations are
shown in Table No-5.

Melting point from solid perfume products generally ranged above 70°C. Solid perfume with the highest melting point
was the formulation with the lowest bees wax concentration by value 10%. The increased of melting point proportional
with the increased of product hardness¹9. This corresponded to the decreased of rheological properties along with
increased bees wax concentration. It caused a decrease in the solid perfume products' melting point at high bees wax
concentration.

factors, including the selection of appropriate ingredients, formulation, production process, and packaging. The aim of
this project was to create a natural and sustainable solid perfume that is free from synthetic fragrances, while also
providing therapeutic benefits through the use of herbal ingredients.
The formulation of the herbal solid perfume was based on beeswax, rose oil, and a blend of essential oils. Beeswax was
chosen as the main ingredient because of its ability to provide a stable and smooth texture, while also offering emollient
and protective properties for the skin. Almond oil was added for its nourishing and moisturizing properties, and its
ability to mimic the skin's natural sebum. The essential oils was carefully selected based on their therapeutic benefits,
such as their ability to promote relaxation, improve mood, and enhance mental clarity.
The production process of the herbal solid perfume involved melting the beeswax and almond oil together in a double
boiler, then adding the essential oils and herbal extracts. The mixture was then poured into a small tin and allowed to
cool and solidify. The final product had a pleasant and natural fragrance, and was easy to apply and absorb into the
skin.
The packaging of the herbal solid perfume was designed to be simple, yet aesthetically pleasing and functional. The
small tin container was convenient and portable, allowing users to carry the solid perfume with them wherever they go.
The packaging was also eco-friendly, using minimal materials and avoiding unnecessary plastic or synthetic
components.
In terms of the evaluation of the herbal solid perfume, several tests were performed to assess its fragrance, texture,
longevity, packaging, and antimicrobial properties. The fragrance of the solid perfume was found to be pleasant and
long-lasting, while the texture was smooth and easy to apply. The packaging was deemed convenient and eco-friendly,
while the antimicrobial properties of the essential oils were found to provide some level of protection against harmful
microorganisms.
Overall, the development of the herbal solid perfume was a successful project that demonstrated the feasibility of
creating a natural and sustainable alternative to traditional liquid perfumes. The use of beeswax and herbal ingredients
provided a stable and effective formulation that was gentle on the in, while also providing therapeutic benefits. The
project also highlighted the importance of considering the environmental impact of product packaging and choosing
eco-friendly options whenever possible.
In conclusion, the herbal solid perfume project represents an exciting opportunity for further research and development
in the area of natural and sustainable cosmetics. With the growing demand for environmentally friendly and health-
conscious products, the herbal solid perfume provides a promising alternative to traditional perfumes that aligns with
these values.
The packaging of Beeswax-based solid perfume should be designed with sustainability in mind. Eco- friendly options
like metal tins, glass jars, bamboo containers, recyclable paper packaging, and upcycled containers can all be used to
create packaging that aligns with the product's natural and sustainable ethos. The packaging should be customizable to
