        abstract = {The objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate a moisturizing cream incorporating sesame oil, known for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and skin-nourishing properties. Three different formulations (F1, F2, and F3) were developed using varying concentrations of white beeswax while maintaining a constant sesame oil content. The creams were evaluated for several parameters including physical appearance, pH, spreadability, greasiness, washability, viscosity, type of emulsion, and stability. All formulations exhibited a smooth texture, pleasant odor, whitish color, and acceptable pH range suitable for topical use. Spreadability was found to be best in formulation F1. No signs of irritation or greasiness were observed, and all samples demonstrated good washability and stability with no phase separation over 30 days. Microscopic dye testing confirmed a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion type. These results indicate that sesame oil-based cream formulations can be effectively used as moisturizing agents for topical application.},
