Abstract

Virgin coconut oil (VCO) lotion formulations take a new approach to creating care products by using the healthy and natural qualities of VCO to enhance consumer benefits. This study emphasizes the formulation of lotion from VCO with the production of virgin coconut oil by extracting coconut using the distillation method. The formulation takes into account the need to produce a stable emulsion, improve quality, and improve the overall user experience. The lotion production was investigated using scanning Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and viscosity. Choose premium virgin coconut oil and incorporate it into a well-planned blend with thickeners, emulsifiers, and other ingredients. This research examines the compatibility temperature and effects of different chemicals on the texture, viscosity, and stability of lotions. The research sheds light on the difficulties in forming stable emulsions of coconut oil, addressing issues such as phase separation or viscosity variation under various storage scenarios. There is talk on how to address these problems and how VCO is used to produce lotions that are safe for usage. The creation of the proper lotion is significantly influenced by the variations in components.
