Revised Date: 16 January 2018

A science popularization product of chemistry experiment, which is about the preparation of hand cream, was designed and developed. By demonstrating the making process of the hand cream, the public was exposed to emulsification and related chemical knowledge. Through simplifying the formulation, optimizing the operation, beautifying appliances and enhancing the interaction, the operability and ornamental value of the experiment were enhanced. Meanwhile, the video and handouts were provided that had detailed instructions on experimental process and chemical principles to the public. The product was close to life, safe, beautiful, portable and appropriate for all ages.
- Science popularization of chemistry,
- Demonstration,
- Hand cream,
