The results obtained are as follows: The rheological behavior of the mucilage solution of Brasenia schreberi are pseudoplastic fluids. Increasing the solute concentration enhanced shear thinning properties of the mucilage solution. The apparent viscosity of different concentrations solution of the mucilage of Brasenia schreberi decreased with increasing solution temperature, also decreased with increasing NaCl concentration in the solution. The apparent viscosity increased with increasing solution pH. Effect of solution pH on the apparent viscosity decreasing rate magnified with increasing the concentration of mucilage solution used. The apparent viscosity of the mucilage solution didn’t change with shearing time. Increasing in shear stresses and the apparent viscosity decreasing rates of moisture masks and vital moisture cream magnified with increasing the concentration of mucilage solution. The safety tests resulted in no erythema based on the Daize score test. The products pH are between 6.0-6.4.The ability of water holding capacity of moisture mask and vital moisture cream increased with the increasing concentration of mucilage solution of Brasenia schreberi used and are better than control.
