ABSTRACT
cosmetics are the preparation which used to beautify and enhance the human
appearances. The aim of the present research was to formulate and evaluate the aloe
Vera containing plant extracts prepared by using water in Oil (Emulsification method)
method for the purpose of nourishing and moisturizing the skin. The cold cream is
prepared by using the rose oil and extract of aloe Vera. Quality evaluation of the
formulated product was assessed by using different evaluation methods. No change of
the physical properties was observed in formulated Cream. The formulated cream
showed good consistency and spread ability, pH, no evidence of phase separation
during study period of research. Stability parameters like visual appearance, nature,
viscosity, and fragrance of formulated cream showed that there was no significant
variation during the study period of research. The herbal extract containing cold cream
gives the cooling and smoothing effect due to the slow evaporation of water present in
emulsion. The cold cream are more moisturizing as they provide an oily barrier which
reduce the water present in the emulsion. The cold creams are more moisturizing as
the provided an oily barrier which reduce the water loss form the stratum corneum,the
outer most layer of the skin. They are water in Oil emulsion and intended for
application on skin or accessible mucous membrane to provide localized and
sometimes systemic effect at the site of application.
1. INTRODUCTION
Cosmetics are the products which are generally used to beautify the skin and also to
purify the skin. The cosmetics are the word derived from Greek word – ‘kosmesticos’
which means to adorn. From that time the materials which are used to promoting
appearances or to beautify the skin are called as cosmetic. From ancient time till now
people are still using polyherbal or herbal cosmetics for the beautification of skin.
Cold cream is the water in oil emulsion. Cold cream gives the prolonged contact time
in the site of application as compared to the other semisolid dosage form or formulation
[1]
They give elegancy to the skin and it is not that much greasy. Due to the oil phase, it
gives an emollience to the skin. The function of the cold cream is for restoring
moisture to dry skin, it allows to eliminate the waste materials from the pores and also
cools the body. It is easily watered washable and easy to wash away. They are
nonirritating when applied on the skin. The water phase provides the skin with
additional protection. At body temperature, it becomes liquefiable.
It enters the skin through the pores of the skin's epidermis.Galen, a Greek physician
who created the cold cream formulation in the second century, is credited with
developing it. He made a mixture of water, beeswax, and rose petals. These were the main
moisturiser components he used to create the cold cream. Galen's cream was the common
name for this skin lotion. Cold creams can be used to remove temporary tattoo marks and
then removed with a cotton ball in addition to moisturising the skin. Uses of cold creams
are also related to the creation of children's face the creation of children's face paint [2]

The use of phytochemicals from a variety of botanicals have dual functions, they serve
as cosmetics for the care of body and its parts and the botanical ingredients present
influence biological function of skin and provide nutrients necessary for the healthy
skin or hair. Cosmetics are made from original ingredients in plants, leaves, roots,
fruits and flowers which have properties for health and beauty [4]

EVALUATION OF MARKETED PREPARATION OF ALOE VERA
COLD CREAM
After the creams are rubbed on the skin, a sufficient quantity of the water evaporates
to impart a phase inversion to the water-in-oil type. The solvent action of the oil, as
external phase, imparts the cleansing properly.
In beeswax-borax type preparation borax reacts with the free fatty acid present in the
beeswax and produces soft soap which act as the emulsifying agent and emulsifies the
oil phase, containing beeswax, mineral oil, paraffin etc.., in the aqueous phase [5]
The main principle of cold cream involves slow evaporation of water phase which leads
to cooling sensation. On storage, phase inversion occurs and water-in-oil emulsion
cream is formed and this is often known as cold cream. On application, due to
evaporation of water, cold sensation is observed; hence, it is called cold cream. Oily
film remaining on the skin gives emollient action and protection to the skin [6]

COLD CREAM
Cold Creams: Cold cream is an emulsion of water and certain fats that is used to
smooth skin and remove makeup. It typically contains beeswax and other fragrances.
The European Pharmacopoeia refers to it as Fatty Cream. Water and oil are
combined in every type of cold cream. The water in the cream evaporates as you apply
it to your skin, giving you a cooling sensation. Most likely, the name came from this
chilling effect.
Moisturiser or moisturising cream are other names for cold cream. Cold cream needs
to behave emolliently. When used, it should feel cool to the touch and leave no
occlusive oil film on the skin [7]
Although it is an emulsion with a high proportion of fatty and oily content, it has a
cooling effect when applied to the skin because the water in the emulsion slowly
evaporates. An illustration of a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion is cold cream [16,8]
In cold cream, the major portion is the oil phase. Simply, the cold cream is an oil-
based semisolid preparation. Cold cream is also known as Unguentum or Ceratum
Refrigerans. Generally, it contains mineral oil, beeswax, borax, and water .
It is a cosmetic that calms and cleanses the skin; it often has an oily and heavy
consistency. It fits the description of a cleansing cream [8]

ALOE VERA
Aloe vera is a succulent plant species of the genus Aloe. It is widely distributed,
and is considered an invasive species in many world regions.

COLD CREAM
An evergreen perennial, it originates from the Arabian Peninsula, but grows wild
in tropical, semi-tropical, and arid climates around the world. It is cultivated
for commercial products, mainly as a topical treatment used over centuries.
The species is attractive for decorative purposes, and succeeds indoors as a
potted plant. It is used in many consumer products, including beverages, skin
lotion, cosmetics, ointments or in the form of gel for minor burns and sunburns.
There is little clinical evidence for the effectiveness or safety of Aloe vera
extract as a cosmetic or topical drug, and oral ingestion has risk of toxicity
[12]
Leaves
The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties
showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces. The margin of
the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth. Aloe vera leaves contain
phytochemicals under study for possible bioactivity, such as lignans,
phytosterols, polyphenols, acetylated mannans, polymannans, anthraquinone
C-glycosides, anthrones and other anthraquinones, such as emodin and various
lectins [13]
Flowers
The flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to 90 cm (35 in) tall, each
flower being pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 2-3 cm long. Like other
Aloe species, Aloe vera forms arbuscular mycorrhiza, a symbiosis that allows
the plant better access to mineral nutrients in soil Aloe vera has been widely
grown as an ornamental plant [14]
The species is popular with modern gardeners as a topical medicinal plant and
for its interesting flowers, form, and succulence. This succulence enables the
species to survive in areas of low natural rainfall, making it ideal for rockeries
and other low water-use gardens. The species is hardy in zones 8-11, and is
intolerant of heavy frost and snow. The species is relatively resistant to most
insect pests, though spider mites, mealy bugs, scale insects, and aphid species
may cause a decline in plant health. This plant has gained the Royal
Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit [15]

In pots, the species requires well-drained, sandy potting soil, and bright, sunny
conditions. Aloe plants can turn red from sunburn under too much direct sun,
though gradual acclimation may help.
Locations
There is large-scale agricultural production of Aloe vera in Australia, Cuba, the
Dominican Republic, China, Mexico, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Tanzania, South
Africa, Spain, and the United States, with much of the output going toward the
cosmetics industry.
It has been claimed that the polysaccharides in 1. vera gel have therapeutic properties
such as anti-inflammatory effects, wound healing, promotion of radiation damage
repair, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-neoplastic activities and
antioxidant effects [17]

Wound healing is a response to injured tissue that results in the restoration of tissue
integrity. It was shown that aloe gel could improve wound healing after topical and
systemic administration in several studies, while others claimed no effect or even a
delay in wound healing. Several mechanisms have been proposed for the wound healing
effects of aloe gel, which include keeping the wound moist, increase epithelial cell
migration, more rapid maturation of collagen and reduction in inflammation [19]
Anti-cancer effects
The two fractions from aloes that are claimed to have anti-cancer effects include
glycoproteins (lectins) and polysaccharides. The anti-tumor activity of
polysaccharides isolated from A.vera has been investigated in many in vitro models as
well as in different animal species. Different studies indicated anti- tumor activity for
A. vera gel in terms of reduced tumor burden, tumor shrinkage, tumor necrosis and
prolonged survival rates. In addition to these effects, A. vera gel has also shown
chemo preventative and anti-genotoxic effects. One mechanism of action that was
proposed for these anti-cancer effects of aloe polysaccharides is stimulation of the
immune response [20]
Antimicrobial activities
The activity of A. vera inner gel against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacteria has been demonstrated by several different methods [6].

EXTRACTION
When picking the leaves for the outermost ones - choose the oldest and largest of the
leaves to use.
You may notice after cutting the leaf from the plant that there is a yellow liquid
oozing from the cut. This is a sap called aloe latex and it's not actually part of the aloe
vera gel, which you'll see is clear. Aloe latex contains laxative properties. To stop the
liquid from oozing everywhere, point the leaf vertically with the cut facing down, and
leave it sitting in a bowl to allow the liquid to drain.
Towards the top end of the leaf, it starts to becomes much thinner. Rather than
spending time fiddling with this tiny amount of gel, trying to extract every last bit, cut
this portion off and compost it.
Remove the spikey edges on either side of the leaf by carefully sliding the knife along
the edge of the leaf, keeping your hands a safe distance away. Cut as close to the spikes
as possible to avoid losing some of the gel in the process [23]
The leaves have a flat side, and a curved side. Begin with the flat side. Lay your leaf
flat on a cutting board and carefully slice away the skin of the aloe vera leaf, pushing
your knife down into the chopping board as you slide it along the bottom, while also
pushing the top of the leaf down onto the knife to make it as flat as possible. Your
knife should be in between the gel and the green skin. Repeat on other side[24]

At this point, you should have slabs of clear gel. If you notice any bits of leaf left on
them, cut it away' The aloe vera gel can be used as is, or it can be blended up to break
down its fibrous structure. Simply pop the gel pieces into a blender and blitz until
frothy and liquified [25]
Preparation;-
2) Water is heated in another container at the same temperature and added with borax;
this is mixture B (aqueous phase).
4) In the last step, the preparation is brought down to 40°C temperature added with
a suitable perfume.
5) For 15 Minutes, the mixture was agitated to achieve a homogenous
formulation.

Bees Wax: Beeswax is one of the most important ingredients in home-made cosmetics.
Why on earth I haven't yet written a word about beeswax? Maybe beeswax is just so
self-evident that I haven't even thought about it. However, beeswax is the most
versatile ingredient that suits perfectly to the skin. The beeswax itself is clear and
transparent. Worker bees chew the beeswax which brings propolis to wax. The pollen
carried by the worker bees gives to beeswax its clear, yellow color.

Aloe Vera: Aloe vera is a herbal plant species belonging to family Liliaceae. It is an
ingredient in many cosmetics because it heals, moisturizes, and softens skin.
We just have to cut one of the aloe vera leaves to extract the soothing gel. Aloe vera
contains amino acids like leucine, isoleucine, saponin glycosides that provide
cleansing action, vitamins A, C, E, B, choline, B12 and folic acid and provide
antioxidant activity. Aloe vera has great moisturizing properties because it is rich in
polysaccharides, which also give it a gel-like appearance [32]
On the other hand, its structure forms a protective film for the skin, which helps in its
healing properties. Sometimes the gel also serves as analgesic and anti- inflammatory
properties that benefits on skin wounds, burns and promotion of radiation damage
repair. The leaf exudate contains several components that cause skin irritation and
erythema (redness). It is recommended to be used only in formulations and avoid leaf
exudate.
It's thought to have originated in what is now Iran. It's been used traditionally in both
beauty products and food and drink products. It also comes with plenty of potential
health benefits.

Distilled Water: Distilled water is water that has been boiled into vapor and
condensed back into liquid in a separate container. Impurities in the original water that
do not boil below or near the boiling point of water remain in the original container.
Thus, distilled water is a type of Purified water. Purified water is water that is
essentially free of microbes and chemicals. This is achieved by reverse osmosis
(forcing the water through a membrane to get rid of chemicals, minerals and microbes),
ozonation (disinfecting water using ozone rather than a chemical), or distillation. The
EPA requires purified water to not contain more than 10 parts per million of total
dissolved solids in order to be labelled purified water.Distilled water is a type of
purified water. Salts, minerals, and other organic materials are removed by collecting

viscometer at 100 rpm with a spindle number 64. Results in table no. 8
cP = TK * SMC * 1000/RPM
Where,
cP = Viscosity
TK - Torque %
Spreadability test
The spreadability was expressed in terms of time in seconds taken by two slides to slip
off from the cream, placed in between the slides, under certain load. Lesser the time
taken for separation of the two slides better the spread ability. Two sets of glass slides
of standard dimension were taken. Then one slide of suitable dimension was taken and
the cream formulation was placed on that slide 5
Then other slide was placed on the top of the formulation. Then a weight or certain load
was placed on the upper slide so that the cream between the two sides was pressed
uniformly to form a thin layer. Then the weight was removed and excess of
formulation adhering to the slides was scrapped Off. The upper side was allowed to
slip freely by the force of weight tied to it. The time taken by the upper slide to slip off
was noted [40]

EVALUATION OF MARKETED PREPARATION OF ALOE VERA
COLD CREAM
7. CONCLUSION
By using Aloe Vera gel the cream showed a multipurpose effect and all these aloe
ingredients showed significant different activities. Based on results and discussion, the
formulations F1, F2 and F3 were stable at room temperature and can be safely used on
the skin. How ever the formula 1 showed the best results in all aspects.
All the Cold cream formulations shows pH in the range of 6 to 7 which is good for
skin.
Based on the resultant data obtained from the different evaluation parameters it can be
concluded that the prepared formulations were stable and safe to use. In future, they
may further be subjected for stability studies and in-vivo studies using human
voluntaries.
DISCUSSION
The viscosity of all 3 formulations was in the range of 43000 to
31000 cps, which indicates that the cream is easily spreadable by
small amount of shear. Change in drug concentration may leads to
changes in the pH of preparations. According the result, all the
formulations i.e. Fl to F3 showed no sign of irritancy, erythema and
edema. It indicates that the prepared herbal cold cream was safe to
use and all the formulations i.e. Fl to F3 are easily washable. The F3
formulation shows
