Abstract
Essential oils are secondary metabolites of plants, through their odor has the ability to repel predatory animals or attract pollinating insects. Due to its chemical composition, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and food industry for its antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties, in the cosmetics industry for its fragrance in the development of perfumes. The dynamic cosmetics market requires the development of new products, but must be fast and safe. And as for the safety aspect, there is a growing interest in natural products, since they offer a proposal of synergy between vegetable and skin care. Essential oils of geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) and palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii), are recognized for their antioxidant activities, such benefit is used in cosmetics of a variety of purposes, from moisturizers to sunscreens. The objective of this work was to develop an O / O emulsion associated with geranium essential oil (Pelargonium graveolens) and essential oil of palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii). Four formulations were developed and subjected to preliminary stability assessment and accelerated stability tests. The results obtained over a period of 30 days were that all formulations remained within the criteria of pH values and organoleptic characteristics. The developed formulations presented satisfactory physico-chemical characteristics in accordance with the determinations required for the regulation of cosmetic products.
Keywords - Pelargonium graveolens, Cymbopogon martinii, self-emulsifying, stability test
