One of them is facial serum, which is widely utilized for its many purposes.

Methods: The amalgamation of distinct stages, such as the oily and aqueous phases, amalgamates harmoniously to create an oil-in-water emulsion via a dual emulsification process facilitated by controlled mechanical

phytochemical, irritancy characteristics, and photographic assessments.
