III. EVALUATION OF BODY SCRUB

A. Physical Evaluation:
The Sample has been oraganize and their bodily look
became evaluated :-

 Colour : Yellow
 Form : Scrub/paste
 Odour: Citrusy

Fig 9: Irritability Test

 Washability Test:
Small quantity of gel applied on the skin and wash
with water after few minutes found to be washable with
water.

Fig 7: Body Scrub

B. Cyclical Temperature:
This test is not carried out at any fixed temperature and
humidity. In this test, temperature was changed cyclically
every day. At room temperature and frizzing temperature to
stimulates the changes in temperature.

C. Determination of Viscosity:
Viscosity of body scrub measure using Brookfield
viscometer.

Fig 10: Washability Test

 Grittiness Test
The formulation was checked for the presence of any
gritty paricles by applying it on the skin.

Fig 8: Brookfiels Viscometer

 Irritability Test:-
Small amount of gel applied on skin and kept for few
minutes and found no irritataion on skin.

 Foamability Test
Add 2gm of formulation in 5ml wateer in measuring
cylinder. Shake it for 10 times. Allow it to stand for 1-2min.
Observe the foam.

 Spread Abilty Test:-

Two slides are taken and small amount of the gel was
placed on the glass slide. Weight was placed on it. The time
Fig 12: Foamability Test required for the gel to spread and the area was measured.

 Consistency Test:
It was found to be semi solid with visual
obsevation.(manually).

Fig 15: Spread Ability Test

 Moisture Content:
Intial weight of empty container note down. 20gm of
sample place on container and note down the weigh and
than that container place in oven at 100C to 105C for 5min.
