Study On Obtaining Oily Extract from Linden Flowers and Using It in A Cold Cream

The extract of linden flowers was obtained by maceration in sunflower oil and, then, the extract was incorporated into a cold cream. The photodegradation, TGA-DTGA analyses as well as the iodine, acidity and saponification index, performed on the oily extract showed that it contains active plant compounds that can contribute to its long-term use. The cosmetic cream obtained with the oily extract of linden flowers demonstrated that, from a qualitative point of view, it is moisturizing and nourishing, beneficial for the skin but with a short shelf life (6 weeks).
