To maintain the stability of pear peel extract (pyrus bretschneideri) in the form of lotions, it is necessary to formulate appropriate lotions.

The results of the lotion from pear peel extract (Pyrus bretschneideri) were evaluated for 1 week. Ephysical quality valuation includes organoleptic test, pH test, vit amin C content test.
