In this work, liquid crystal emulsion with aloe vera (AV) was formulated and characterised its physical properties. A direct titration method was used to determine the composition of liquid crystal emulsion in a system consisting of water/mixed Tween 80: Span 85/hexane. AV gel was added to produce AV liquid crystal emulsion (AVLCE), which was then subjected to various characterisation such as microscopic analysis, stability test, rheological test and particle size analysis. Results showed that the application of AVCLE employed better performances in terms of stability, particle size and moisturizing. This study suggest that the formulated AVLCE may be suitable to be used as topical application on wounded skin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
