Abstract

Tobacco seeds, which are abundant and rich in oil, offer a sustainable alternative for cosmetic applications due to their fatty acid profile, which is similar to grape seed oil. This study compares tobacco seed oil (Krumovgrad 58 variety, Bulgaria) with commercial grape seed oil for use in cosmetic emulsions. Fatty acid composition and tocopherol content were analyzed, and emulsions were evaluated for physicochemical properties (peroxide value, acid value, refractive index, oxidative stability, and pH) and microbiological quality. The results showed that the emulsions had a moisture content of 82.2–85.1%, refractive index of 1.624–1.675, and oxidative stability of 2.60–3.85 hours. A microbiological analysis revealed fewer than 10 cfu/g of microorganisms, including molds and yeasts, in all emulsions. The findings demonstrate that tobacco seed oil exhibits comparable properties to grape seed oil, making it a viable, sustainable option for cosmetic formulations.
