Abstract

The compound of camellia oil and insect wax was applied in cosmetics supplemented by policosanol, fish collagen peptide and so on to prepare an O/W-type skin care lotion, and the lotion formula was finally confirmed as follows: camellia oil: 2.40-4.50%, insect wax: 0.80-2.40%, policosanol: 0.03-0.50%, sodium oleate: 1.40%, vaseline: 3.00-6.00%, glycerinum: 3.30-7.60%, triethanolamine: 0-0.50%, sodium carboxymethylcellulose: 1.00-2.00%, fish collagen peptide: 1.50-2.50%, methylparaben: 0.10%, propylparaben: 0.10%, deionized water: allowance. Various properties of the skin care lotion were tested according to relevant standards, and the sensory and physical-chemical indexes of the lotion all tallied with the national standards and some of them even were significantly better than the premium-grade standard requirements. The particles of the prepared lotion were mainly in uniform size and regular shape, which was similar to that of the reference commodity lotion. The skin care lotion was proven to be low in skin irritation and fine in moisturizing efficacy.
