Abstract:
The formulation of facial cream and body mist from avocado oil can help to value-add
of fresh avocado (Persea americana) and increase marketing channel. Pure cold pressed
avocado oil containing high nourishing oil can be extracted from fresh avocado in high
quantity and with low cost. The chemical properties of the cold pressed avocado oil were
examined. The results showed that acid value, free fatty acids and peroxide values were 1.20
mg KOH/g, 0.82 % as oleic acid and 5.56 meq O2/kg, respectively. The physical properties,
stability test and testing by volunteers of cosmetic products from cold pressed avocado oil
including facial cream and body mist were investigated. The texture of white facial cream
(pH = 6.29 at room temperature) was smooth and creamy. For the body mist, the texture of
white body mist (pH = 6.22 at room temperature) was light. Both white facial cream and
body mist were tested by 50 volunteers for one month. The results of testing by volunteers
revealed that facial cream and body mist showed an increased hydration, elasticity and no
skin irritation when compared to other skin care cosmetics.
