SPROUTED WHEAT MICRO PARTICLES USING MELT DISPERSION TECHNIQUE IN COSMETICS

Abstract

Consumers demand more and more performance from their personal care products. As these expectations rise, personal care formulations become more complicated. .In response to this trends formulators look for innovative ways to enhance delivery system have aesthetic value with herbal ingredient in it One such approach to solving these formulations challenge is through the encapsulation of active ingredients. Now-a-days microencapsulation is a promising aid that has an excellent capability to protect bioactive material against temperature , humidity, and acidic conditions .Herbal cosmetics have growing demand in the world market and is an invaluable gift of nature. Herbal formulations always have attracted considerable attention because of their good activity .Sprouted wheat is one such natural active which provide moistursing effect and also provides smoothness to the hair surface. But Sprouted wheat is prone to degradation  if incorporated directly in product thus make the product unstable thus the objective of study is to prepare stable product by using encapsulation technique of wax  melt dispersion technique  using rice bran wax which is derived from rice bran oil, which is byproduct of rice milling.
