Abstract
Las arcillas pueden ser utilizadas como productos cosméticos destinados al tratamiento de piel y cabello debido a sus efectos purificadores, acción tensora, suavizante, etc., ya que está compuesta por elementos minerales que al entrar en contacto con la piel se produce el intercambio de electrolitos. Las máscaras faciales elaboradas a base de arcilla, son consideradas como las preparaciones cosméticas más antiguamente utilizadas, ya que los egipcios y griegos usaban arcillas para la limpieza de la piel. Los minerales encontrados en las arcillas funcionan como potencializadores de determinados efectos, dependiendo de su concentración. Actualmente las arcillas son utilizadas en Spas y en tratamientos de belleza, es por ello que en el marco del plan de actividades de las prácticas pre profesionales, se realizó este estudio que tuvo como objetivo el diseño y elaboración de una formula cosmética de Máscara Facial de arcilla verde, la cual presentó óptimas características organolépticas, de color verde oscuro, olor sui generis, una textura uniforme y con un tiempo de secado de 10 min. Presentó un pH de acuerdo a lo establecido para una máscara facial (6,8), cerca al neutro, para evitar irritación en la piel. Además, se describió todas las actividades desarrolladas en las prácticas pre profesionales en el periodo enero – diciembre 2020.

The minerals found in clays function as potentiators of certain effects, depending on their concentration. Clays are currently used in Spas and beauty treatments, which is why within the framework of the activity plan for pre-professional practices, this study was carried out, which aimed at the design and elaboration of a cosmetic formula of Facial Mask of Green clay, which presented optimal organoleptic characteristics, dark green in color, sui generis smell, a uniform texture and a drying time of 10 min. It presented a pH according to what was established for a facial mask (6,8), close to neutral, to avoid irritation to the skin.
