An oil-in-water herbal cream prepared in the lab, with simple physical and stability checks.

Project type
Academic project
Year

My role
Prepared the oil and water phases, mixed the batches and compared the trial formulas
Overview
This academic project looked at preparing an oil-in-water herbal cream and checking how it holds up over a short period.
Objective
To make a smooth, spreadable cream and see whether it stays uniform without separating.
My contribution
I prepared the oil and water phases, mixed the batches, noted the observations and compared the trial formulas.
Materials and equipment
List the oils, emulsifier, preservative and herbal extract you used, plus the heating and mixing equipment.
Method
The oil and water phases were heated separately and then combined with continuous stirring until the cream cooled and set. The herbal extract was added at the end.
Evaluation
The cream was checked for appearance, texture, pH, spreadability and any sign of phase separation during storage.
Results
Add what you observed for each batch and which formula worked best. Report only what you measured.
What I learned
This project showed me how small changes in the formula affect texture and stability. Add what you would improve next time.
References
List the sources you used, in one consistent citation style.
