Comparison between Carboxy Methyl Cellulose and Carbomer as Viscosity Agents on the Physical Stability of Combination Shampoo Preparations of Jackfruit Leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and Pandan Leaves (Pandanus amarillyfolius)

Key Points

Shampoos containing carboxy methyl cellulose demonstrated significant differences in physical stability compared to those with carbomer.
The viscosity of formulations using carboxy methyl cellulose was different in F1, indicating varied performance as a viscosity agent.
Physical stability was measured through density, viscosity, and foam tests, highlighting the importance of viscosity agents in formulations.
With F2 and F3 showing no significant difference in viscosity, carboxy methyl cellulose and carbomer can be equally effective in certain combinations.

Abstract

Viscosity agents such as carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) and carbomer are an important part of shampoo preparations because they function as regulators of the viscosity of the preparation which can affect physical stability. This study analyzes the differences between CMC and carbomer as viscosity agents on the physical stability of a combination shampoo preparation of jackfruit leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and pandan leaves (Pandanus amarillyfolius). The physical stability measured by this shampoo preparation includes the density test, viscosity test, and foam test. There is a difference in specific gravity between shampoos that use the viscosity agent CMC and carbomer in F1, F2, and F3 (P value 0.05), as well as high foam on F1, F2, and F3 (P value >0.05).
