Formulation of Face-Wash from Coconut (Cocos nucifera (L.)) Oil in Ben Tre Province, Vietnam

Abstract:

Today, the need for human care and beauty is increasing. The use of personal care products, especially those from nature, has been given special attention by consumers. With diverse features and good effects on the human body, especially the skin, coconut oil is being cared for by many manufacturers. With the aim of diversifying personal care products from coconut oil, this research has initially achieved positive results. Soap saponified as raw soap is considered to have good cleaning effect (better than sodium lauryl sulfate solution (SLS) when diluted to the same concentration). The combination of 10% crude soap and 4% sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) surfactants formulate cleansing products with effective cleansing properties. Ingredients auxiliary cleaners, moisturizing, and softening, antioxidants are added with the appropriate content to improve the disadvantages of raw soap. The personal care products that have been studied have the potential to enter the cosmetic market and attract many consumers.
