Its use as an anti-acne agent is widely anticipated. A topical formulation of neem leaf powder as hydrogel was prepared recognizing the use of its phytoconstituents in many skin therapies. The primary goal of topical formulations is to provide drug contact with the skin while reducing overall absorption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-acne potential of Neem leaves powder hydrogel. Neem powder was tested for its organoleptic and physical characteristics. Neem hydrogel was prepared in a 1% w/v carbopol gel and evaluated by agar disk diffusion. A 3% w/w (F1) and 2% w/w (F2) hydrogel prepared by adding 3g and 2g, respectively, to the prepared carbopol gel making a volume of 100 ml, was evaluated for various parameters. A comparative evaluation tests were conducted for F1, F2 and 1% w/v carbopol gel (blank). After the test results, F1 was optimized for pH and viscosity by adding triethanolamine. Optimized F1 was tested against 1% w/w salicylic acid gel, and Zitcare-S (Standard) for anti-acne activity. Agar plates were prepared and a well was dug using a borer. The wells were filled with the F1, standard and blank, inoculated by the Staphylococcus aureus using the spread culture technique. The plates were incubated for 24 hours at standard conditions. F1, F2, blank and standard were tested for their viscosity, spreadability, pH and some organoleptic parameters. The test results from F1 and F2 suggested F1 to be a more efficient hydrogel. Standard, blank and F1 were tested using agar well diffusion technique. After the incubation period, the plates were taken out and kept on a white sheet. Using a meter scale, the radius of the zone of inhibition was determined. It was found that F1 gave 1.7cm, standard gave 1.3cm and blank gave 0cm radius size zone of inhibition. Test results suggest that F1 has better spreadability and viscosity in comparison to F2. This study concludes that F1 is a more stable and efficient formulation as a hydrogel with efficient spreadability and optimum viscosity. F1 has better anti-bacterial activity than the standard and has better anti-acne potential.","PeriodicalId":10817,"journal":{"name":"Current Cosmetic Science","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139168956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fragrance in your cosmetic items can also lead to serious allergies like asthma and headaches, which may deter customers from purchasing your cosmetics. The development of fragrances is a crucial component of cosmetic formulation because it blends an aesthetic vision with knowledge of the chemistries and dynamics of the scent materials. Objective: When launching a cosmetics company and having a product ready to sell, it is crucial to take into account a number of elements, including the potency of the scent, the product's stability in the presence of heat and light, the compatibility of the ingredients, and the effects of the packaging. While certain compounds used in fragrances quickly disappear from the skin, others cling to it for longer. In order to accomplish the intended outcome and produce a product that is attractive to the eye, it is crucial for these qualities to interact over time. Buyer psychology is impacted by fragrance in cosmetic products, which may influence whether or not a consumer decides to purchase it. Methods: The study utilized a comprehensive review of existing literature, market research, and industry insights to gather information on fragrance selection for cosmetics. Results: The results of the study indicate that choosing the best fragrance for cosmetics involves considering several key factors. Firstly, understanding the specific product type is crucial, as different cosmetics require different types of fragrances to match their purpose and intended use. Secondly, considering the target audience's preferences is essential, as different demographics have varying fragrance preferences. Thirdly, aligning the fragrance with the brand identity is important to create a cohesive and consistent product experience. Conclusion: In conclusion, selecting the best fragrance for cosmetics requires a thoughtful and strategic approach. By considering the product type, target audience, brand identity, and market trends, cosmetics manufacturers can make informed decisions that enhance the overall product experience and customer satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":10817,"journal":{"name":"Current Cosmetic Science","volume":" 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, customization challenges this notion by focusing on developing products tailored to individual needs, preferences, and unique factors, such as seasonal variations and geographical demands. It acknowledges that people may respond diversely to the same product. Customization in personal care products entails the ability to tailor products to an individual's specific requirements, such as their skin type, hair type, fragrance preferences, etc. Other preferences include geographical requirements like climate, UV exposure, and cultural preferences, along with seasonal changes like winter, monsoon, summer, spring, and fall. The entire experience, including packaging, is personalized. Currently, personal care products represent a relatively small portion, accounting for approximately 10-15% of the overall market, with non-customized products comprising 85-90%. However, recent data suggests that customization is growing at an annual rate of 15.3%, and it is projected to surpass non-customized products by 2031. Customization offers several advantages, including a better fit for consumers' physical and mental health, targeted solutions for specific issues, and increased efficacy. Leading brands in customized personal care products have span different regions worldwide. For instance, SkinCeuticals, an American brand, offers customized skincare products tailored to address individual skin concerns and needs. In India, Vedix and SkinKraft from IncNut Life Style are pioneering brands that provide customized personal care products based on an individual's skin and hair type, along with a Prakriti analysis. These brands offer direct-to-consumer services and are headquartered in Hyderabad, India. The demand for customized personal care products is rapidly increasing worldwide. Beyond individual needs and preferences, further development is required to cater to seasonal and geographical requirements, enabling the creation of more effective products.","PeriodicalId":10817,"journal":{"name":"Current Cosmetic Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135619498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
