Then that were evaluated of homogenity, organoleptic, pH, viscosity dispersive power, glutinous power and inhibition power of antibacterial. Result of evaluation of stock had a pH range of between 6,4-8,1, the viscosity range from 2324-526 cps 1, dispersive power between 5,47-6,95 cm, and the glutinous power between 4,2-5,3 second. Each formula was stable in storage cycling testand temperature 40ºC ± 2ºC, 28ºC ± 2ºC, 4ºC ± 2ºC and the three formulas had antibacterial of Propionibacterium acne.
