Introduction
SOS Organics

3. Among the numerous skin classifications that are
proposed, distinguishes four different types: normal, oily, dry
and mixed.
Dry skin would mainly correspond to structural and
functional modifications of the components of the epidermis.
Oily skin would result from an excessive seborrheic
production, invading skin surface and possibly hair.
Classification of human skin

4. A variety of skin care products exist in market. They fulfil a
variety of functions by either acting directly on the skin
(moisturizers) or being a cosmetically elegant vehicle for the
delivery of specific active ingredients (sunscreens or anti-acne
medicaments).
Skin Care Products

5. These skin care products are categorized into three functional
groups:
 Drugs: To prevent diseases by altering the structure
andfunction of the body.
 Cosmetics: To beautify and improve the skin.
 Cosmeceuticals: An intermediate classification for cosmetic
products that may enhance the function of the skin.
Skin Care Products

6.  The skin-care product groups can also be classified by their
physical properties. Emulsions, lotions, paste, suspension,
tablet, powder, gels, sticks and aerosols.
 Most common forms of skin care products are emulsions.

7. Oils are excellent cosmetic materials: Improve surface feel,
Protect, Aid in moisturization, Reduce static, Shine.
Drawbacks of oil: Tacky, greasy, cost too much
The Solution: its Dilution.
The problem: Oil & Water Do Not Stay Mixed
Why? Lower free energy when separate, Hydrogen Bonding,
Oils are non-polar, Size of molecules.
The Solution: Add energy to the system by Agitation ,Heat
Need something to stabilize : Surfactants or Emulsifiers.
Why we use emulsions not oil in skin care products?

8. Emulsions
SOS Organics

9.  Emulsions are mixtures of two insoluble materials that are
stabilized against separation.
 An example is mixture of oil and water, which will not mix
unless an intermediate emulsifier is incorporated into the
mixture.
 Emulsions may be formulated of water in oil (w/o), oil in
water (o/w), aqueous gel, and silicone in water (w/Si).

10. Water-soluble ointment bases: polyethylene glycol (PEG)
polymers are water-soluble and do not hydrolyze or support
mold growth, for this reason polyethylene glycol (PEG) make
good washable ointment.
Absorption bases can serve as concentrates for w/o
emolients; water maybe added to anhydrous absorption bases
to form a cream-like consistency.
Petrolatum: a component of anhydrous absorption bases,
absorbed into delipidized skin and to accelerate barrier
recovery.

External phase: water
Advantages: Easiest to formulate, Least expensive, Best feel –
cooling effect
Disadvantages: Less oil delivered, Not as effective for dry skin,
Not water-resistant
Examples: Hair conditioners, Sunscreen,

13. Silicone formulation also be used to form stable water-in-
silicone (w/Si). These are polymeric surface-active agents with
long bond lengths and wide bond angles, provides exceptional
elegance and good coverage when applied to skin.
Silicone compounds polyethylene-oxide bases grafted to
polydimethylsiloxane hydrophobic polymers, known as
dimethicone copolylemulsifiers, this is a type of water-in-
cyclomethicone emulsions.

14.  Multiple emulsions; Oil in Water in Oil (O/W/O) and Water-in-
Oil-in-Water (W/O/W) emulsions,
 Advantages: More effective than Oil in Water, Less greasy
than Water in oil, Time release, active delivery possible
 Disadvantages: Hard to manufacture, Not always stable
 Applications: Drug delivery, Taste masking food products

17. Emulsifiers act as solubilizers and spreading or dispersing
agents are available in a wide range of chemical types:
 Non-ionic emulsifiers: (Polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers)
 Anionic emulsifiers: (Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate)
 Cationic emulsifiers: (Quaternary ammonium salts)
 Hydrophobic, lipophilic, ethoxylated, and nonethoxylated.
Emulsifiers

18. Surfactants: skin creams contain surfactants to improve
penetration and suspension properties.
Thickeners: helps to obtain viscosity, enhance stability,
bodying agent.(Carbopol, veegum)
Humectants: It’s purpose is to decrease evaporation, is to
attract moisture, increase viscosity, and reduce irritation, e.g.,
propylene glycol, glycerin, honey and hyaluronic acid.
Preservatives:
Additives in emulsions

19. Manufacturing process of
Skin care product
SOS Organics

20. Skin care product manufacturing process is a batch process.
Initially, the raw material goes through a Quality Check (QC).
Basic raw materials (like glycerine) are added into a Mixing
vessel (Vessel 1) a vessel suitable for heating, cooling and
agitation.
These materials are mixed along with hot water. The water
used for this process is De-mineralised and all impurities are
removed before using in manufacturing process. This mixture
is known as ‘water phase’.
Skin care product manufacturing process
SOS Organics

21. Mixing of the raw materials is carried out at specific
temperature (about 70-750C) and the entire solution is
agitated inside the vessel to form a homogeneous mixture.
In a separate vessel (Vessel 2) ‘Oil phase’ is prepared by
adding most of the chemical ingredients at a specific
temperature (around 70-750C).
The solution thus formed is mixed continuously to form
homogenous mixture.
Skin care product manufacturing process
SOS Organics

22. The mixture from both the vessels is taken to the side vessel
where ‘Water phase’ and ‘Oil phase’ are mixed and agitated
for 20 to 30 minutes.
The temperature of the liquid is brought down to a specific
level depending upon the product (typically from 35 to 450 C).
If required, Citric Acid or Sodium Hydroxide is used to adjust
pH of water. Subsequently, fragrances, dyes and preservatives
are added in the solution.

25. The procedure for preparing o/w and w/o emulsion is to add
the warned inner phase very slowly to the outer phase (also at
75% stirring constantly and homogenizing to assure efficient
emulsification.
Finely dispersed o/w emulsions can also be prepared by
adding the aqueous phase to the oils.
Initially the low concentration of water forms a w/o
emulsion according to the phase-volume relationship.
o/w and w/o emulsions
SOS Organics

26. The slow addition and emulsification of the water increase
the viscosity of the system while the oil phase expands to a
maximum.
At this point the continuous oil phase breaks up into
minute droplets as emulsion inversion occurs, characterized
by a sudden decrease in viscosity.
o/w and w/o emulsions
SOS Organics

27. This emulsification technique proceeds smoothly at the
critical inversion point in a well-balanced, low oil-wax system,
but it frequently cases coagulation ink high oil-wax emulsions.
The conventional procedure of adding the inner phase to the
out preferable for creams and lotions.

28. Primary Packing for skin care products can be done in the
following ways depending upon the requirement Bottle/
Container packing Sachet/ Pouch packing After filling skin care
product in a bottle/ sachet, it is sealed appropriately.

29. Skin creams are classified according to their function, some
cream types are listed below:
 Cleansing creams
 Cold creams
 Moisturizing creams
Vanishing creams
Protective creams
All-purpose cream

30. Cold Cream
SOS Organics

31. Cold Creams
 Cold cream is water in oil type of emulsion.
 Cold cream has emollient action and prevents dehydration
of skin.
 Cold cream is called cold cream because breaking up of
emulsion on application to skin leads to evaporation of
water giving cooling effect.
SOS Organics

32. The cold creams may be divided into oil-water (beeswax-
borax) types and water-in-oil creams (beeswax without
additional alkali).
Beeswax is the sole emulsifying agent in a water-in-oil
cream.
Cold Cream
SOS Organics

33.  The key chemical constituent of cold cream is beewax.
 The Emulsifier is usually prepared inside by reaction
between borax and bees wax and stabilizes cold cream
Emulsion.
 Since this preparation contains both oil and water. It is at
risk to microbial attack, hence it is preserved by adding
preservatives.

34. Beewax: 284 approx chemical compounds that make up
beewax, Triacontyl palmitate is one of the principal chemical
components of beewax.

35. General methods of preparation of cold cream
 Melt the wax, white soft paraffin, hard paraffin on a water
bath.
 Add liquid paraffin and heat the mixture of 700C.
 Dissolve the borax in water at 750C and melts fats with
continuous stirring.
