Moisturizing creams play a crucial role in skincare by enhancing hydration and promoting skin health. This study aimed to formulate a novel moisturizing cream using natural ingredients known for their skin-beneficial properties. The cream was prepared using aloe vera extract, glycerine, castor oil, cucumber extract, rose water, and vitamin c capsules. Each ingredient was selected for its moisturizing, soothing, and antioxidant properties, which are essential for maintaining skin hydration and combating oxidative stress. The formulation process involved blending these ingredients in precise proportions to achieve a stable and effective cream. Physicochemical characterization, including pH, viscosity, spreadability, and stability tests, was conducted to assess the quality and shelf-life of the cream. Furthermore, the cream's moisturizing efficacy was evaluated through hydration studies using instrumental techniques and sensory evaluations by human volunteers. Results demonstrated that the formulated cream exhibited desirable characteristics such as suitable pH, optimal viscosity for easy application, good spreadability, and stability over time. Moreover, it significantly improved skin hydration levels compared to baseline measurements, as evidenced by instrumental assessments and positive feedback from users. Overall, this study highlights the potential of natural ingredients in skincare formulations and underscores the importance of effective moisturizing creams in maintaining skin health and beauty.
