Formulation and Evaluation of Cooling Gel using Fruit Punch

Excessive ultraviolet (UV) exposure is the main cause of sunburn, which causes erythema, inflammation, and discomfort on the skin. In this study, a novel fruit punch- based cooling gel that relieves sunburn symptoms while hydrating and supporting antioxidants is formulated and evaluated. By utilizing the complementary qualities of aloe vera and natural fruit extracts,[1] the formulation seeks to provide a calming, environmentally responsible, and cosmetically, pleasing substitute for traditional treatments. Fruit punch concentrate, gelling agents and active botanical ingredients were carefully combined to create the gel while preserving the ideal pH and product stability. Stability studies, sensory analysis and dermal compatibility and potential irritant assessments comprised the comprehensive evaluation. The results demonstrate this formulation’s potential as an effective, economical, and long-lasting sunburn treatment.
