Assessing the Effect of Various Concentrations of Sample X on Rinse-Off Formulations toward Physicochemical Characteristics

---

Rinse-off hair and body care products are essential for maintaining the health and hygiene of hair and
skin, formulated with surfactants to cleanse and improve appearance. Some of these products
contain ingredients that provide humectants, emollients, conditioning agents, et cetera, which modify
the fundamental functions of the products. However, the current formulations of these products
often fail to deliver satisfactory results in improving smoothness, suppleness, volume, and shine,
which may contain chemicals that negatively impact hair and skin health. This study investigates
Sample X, a botanical extract composed of various fruit concentrates, as an alternative ingredient to
enhance rinse-off formulations and provide benefits for hair and skin. However, its low pH level,
indicating high acidity, raises questions about its impact on the product's viscosity. Therefore, the
objective is to investigate the effects of various concentrations of Sample X, aimed to understand how
these variables influence the product's stability and performance, towards the physicochemical
characteristics, including organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, and stability of rinse-off formulations.
The research involved organoleptic testing, pH testing, and viscosity conducted at 25°C and 50°C over
a one-month stability period. The findings indicate that higher concentrations of Sample X decrease
the pH of the formulations, leading to minor changes in viscosity. The formulations remained stable,
with slight color changes observed at elevated temperatures. Overall, Sample X did not adversely
affect the performance and stability of the products, maintaining their physicochemical properties.
This suggests that incorporating Sample X at optimal concentrations can enhance the effectiveness of
rinse-off products without compromising their quality.
