Abstract:

The textural and sensory analyses of five products of elastic foundation creams with different thickener content were carried out. The results obtained by a texture analyzer showed that, with the increase of thickener content, the hardness of the product increased gradually, while the springiness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and other parameters were first increased and then decreased. The sensory results showed that the skin softness during the application of the product had a strong correlation with hardness and cohesiveness, and the correlation coefficients were 0.909 and 0.745, respectively. The spreadability of the foundation cream had significantly negative correlation with the textural hardness, with a correlation coefficient of -0.512. The elasticity (a sensory parameter) had a strong correlation with the springiness (a textural parameter), and the correlation coefficient was 0.774. The results showed that the parameters obtained by the texture analyzer had good correlation with the sensory tests. The study proved that it had potential to use instruments to predict sensory test results for cosmetic products.
