7.9 g.cm/cm

6. Discussion
First and foremost, the cream had appealing physical properties. It was classified as semisolid, which is
common for creams. The yellowish-green colour adds to its visual appeal and may correspond to consumer
desires for natural or herbal items. Furthermore, the distinctive odour suggests that the cream preserves its
natural aroma, which may be an appealing quality for people looking for more organic and pleasant skincare
solutions. The pH measurement is an important metric in the evaluation of skincare products.
