Abstract


The objective of research was to prepare ready-to-use TiO2 in slurry form for easy use in cosmetics. Three types of TiO2 source were prepared as TiO2 slurry, namely commercial TiO2 (TiO2-A and TiO2-P25) and synthesized TiO2 (TiO2-S) The suitable of solvents and amount of TiO2, including optimum sonication time were studied. The experiments were set up as two groups of solvent, i.e. (1) six types of pure solvent and (2) nine types of mixed solvent. In order to achieve the best result of using solvent, 0.0075 g TiO2 powder was added to each of 15 mL solvent and sonicated for 10 minutes. The results showed that butylene glycol (BG) was the best of pure solvent, and mixture of propylene glycol (PG) and BG ratio 1:1 was the best of mixed solvent. Due to lower cost of PG than BG, PG mixed with BG was chose as the solvent for slurry preparation. The amount of TiO2was varied from 10-60% w/v of BG. Best slurry texture obtained using 60 %w/v of TiO2. The study of sonication time was varied from 10-60 minutes. It was found that the optimum time was at 30 minutes. Texture and stability of prepared slurry were similar to commercial. Different sunscreen were formulated by containing prepared and commercial slurry separately and evaluated. There were no significant difference results between prepared slurry and commercial. In order to investigate the satisfaction of products, 40 volunteers were asked to use products for one week and answer in the questionnaires. The product containing prepared slurry was satisfied by 96% of volunteers, whereas the product containing commercial slurry was satisfied by 76% of volunteers.
