    This report summarizes the formulation of a 4% menthol gel. The key ingredients included carbopol 934 as a gelling agent, propylene glycol as a humectant, paraben conc as a preservative, EDTA as an antioxidant, peppermint oil as a fragrant, ethanol as a solvent, and purified water as a vehicle. The gel was prepared by dispersing carbopol in water, then adding the other ingredients with TEA added last to neutralize the carbopol. The resulting gel was colorless but cloudy, likely due to the amount of peppermint oil added. Future formulations will decrease the oil amount to improve clarity.

    4% menthol gel preparation


    Ingredients Cabopol 934 TEA Propylene glycol Paraben conc EDTA Peppermint oil Ethanol Indigo blue Purified water to amount 0.5g. 5 drops 7.5 g 1g. 0.05g. 1g. 5g 1drops 50g. Use Gelling agent Neutralizing agent Humectants Preservative Antioxidant Fragrant Solvent Coloring agent Vehicle

    Method
    Dissolve 2g. of menthol and 1 g of peppermint oil in ethanol 5g. (100 ml beaker)

    Disperse carbopol 934 0.5g in 30g. of purified water. (Mortar&Pestle)

    Add 7.5g. of propylene glycol Add EDTA 0.05 g which dissolve in 3g. of purified water

    Slowly add
    Add TEA as need Add indigo blue

    Add 1g. of paraben conc

    Adjust to required weight and fill in to glass bottle.

    Conclusion From this formula we use 1 %w/w carbopol 934 . We got the colorless smooth gel but the gel is not so clear ,it is cloudy may be it is because of the peppermint oil.And if the concentration of carbopol is so high the lump might be occur and the gel can be cloudy. Discussion We slowly sow carbopol in to water to prevent lumping,and then dissolve EDTA in water before pour it in to mortar because EDTA is solid and adding other ingredients,and we also dissolve menthol and peppermint oil in ethanol to prevent the incompatible of oil and water. The last step is adding TEA to neutralize carbopol to stay in base state because if it not in base state the gel is cannot occur.But our gel that we prepared is so cloudy may be because of amount of oil that we have added then I design the future formula to prove the cloudy gel by decrease the amount of the oil.
