AN IDEAL STRATEGY OF USING NELUMBO NUCIFERA FOR MOISTURIZING SERUM

Abstract

The Nelumbo Nucifera, also known as the Padma, sacred lotus, or Indian lotus belongs to the family Nelumbonaceae. It naturally contains fatty acid (linoleic acid) which helps keep the skin moisturized and nourished. The hydrosol obtained by the distillation process, from the entire flower ( petals, plumule, and seed) combined with glycerin to form the serum, glycerin enhances the desired texture of the serum. some preservative is used to increase the shelf life. This serum is applicable for both males and females and children too. It gives glow as well as hydrated skin and this serum has fascinating odor. The organoleptic test is taken to analyze the texture, odor, color, whereas the pH scale is used to determine the acidic nature of the serum and the rancidity test is used to determine how long it would exist without spoilage, solubility test is taken for analyzing the dissolution and Specific gravity test is taken to analyze the density of the serum.
