METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF ALOE VERA GEL AND INCORPORATION IN POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL GEL FOR VAGINAL LUBRICANTS

摘要

aloe vera gel production method and incorporation in polyethylene glycol gel for vaginal lubricant. The present invention relates to a method of producing an aloe vera gel and its incorporation into medical grade polyethylene glycol gel for application in vaginal lubricant. Vaginal lubrication is an estrogen-dependent physiological phenomenon. When estrogen levels decrease, a problem called hypoestrogenism causes a reduction in vaginal lubrication. Vaginal lubricants are effective in relieving pain and discomfort during intercourse. The most commonly used polymer in vaginal lubricants is polyethylene glycol, however other polymers or the addition of new components may improve physicochemical and biological properties. Aloe vera is popularly known as aloe vera, is a plant of the family xanthorrhoeaceae found in tropical regions, used in various parts of the world for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. Due to the humidifying, lubricating, biodegradability, biofunctionality and biocompatibility properties that among other biological activities favors the hydration, nutrition and physiological protection of the skin. of great value that new physicochemical and biological properties can be incorporated into lubricants.
