Abstract In this study, three cosmetic creams
containing/with different lemon extracts were formulated and studied from a
rheological point of view. Rheological tests such as: the flow test,
amplitude sweep and frequency sweep were determined by specific measurements
and showed that the products formulated based on lemon extracts are stable
at different temperatures and can easily be applied to the skin. Additional
microbiological tests and clinical studies are required for cosmetic creams
to be marketed. Keywords: rheological study, lemon extract, cosmetic cream,
oily maceration.
