Abstract

This project aims to develop an herbal lotion using the extract of lemon grass, stearic acid, almond oil, cetyl alcohol, glycerol, methyl paraben, triethanolamine, and water. Lemon grass extract contains antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, which make it an ideal ingredient for skincare products. Stearic acid and cetyl alcohol act as emulsifiers and help in forming a stable emulsion with water. Almond oil provides moisturization and nourishment to the skin. Glycerol acts as a humectant and prevents excessive dryness by attracting moisture to the skin. Methyl paraben is a preservative that helps inhibit microbial growth in the product. Triethanolamine is used to adjust the PH of the lotion. The formulation of the lotion was optimized through various tests such as PH, viscosity, and stability tests. The final product is a smooth and creamy lotion that provides excellent moisturization and nourishment to the skin, thanks to the unique blend of natural ingredients
