Development of Anti-Ageing Cream from Chicken Feathers

This work presents the development of anti-ageing cream. Keratin protein derived from chicken feathers is used as an active ingredient in creams. Keratin was extracted by using reducing agent. Anti-ageing creams were produced by using several ingredients comprise of emulsifier, emollient, preservati...
