Sujit A. Rathod*, Vidya P. Sabale, Gunjan Gadge and Hemant S. Kanhere
ABSTRACT Waxes have been used in many cosmetic preparations and in pharmaceuticals as formulation aids. Rice bran wax is a byproduct of rice bran oil. The present study aimed to explore the possible use of rice bran wax as cosmetic aid/emollient. The procured rice bran wax was purified and characterized for its physicochemical properties. The formulated cosmetic cream containing rice bran wax was compared with standard cosmetic cream for various parameters such as pH, viscosity, spreadability and stability. The results showed that the the formulated cosmetic cream is comparable with the standard cosmetic cream. Thus, rice bran wax can be effectively used in cosmetic cream. Keywords: .
