Background: Medicinal muds (peloids) are being used for centuries for the prevention and soft treatment of various diseases; they are ecologically pure, cheap and easy to apply. Due to their chemical and biological mixture, peloids can eliminate pathogenic bacteria and inflammatory processes without damaging surrounding microflora. The Purpose of this Study: Use of natural resources of Georgia-peloids for cosmeceutical purposes. Many new competitive cosmetic and pharmaceutical products (facial and body creams, masks, compresses, diapers, shampoos, tooth pastes, ointments) can be researched based on natural peloids of Georgia. For this purpose, we have selected pseudovolcanic dry muds from Dedoplistskaro region of Georgia: â??Takhti Tepaâ? and â??Kila Kupraâ?. The study of their chemical composition and physical-chemical properties was performed, as well as aspects of separation and quantitative determination of biologically active organic compounds (BAOC). Methodology: For separation and quantitative determination of BAOC, their preliminary extraction and gravimetric method of analysis were used. For extraction of liophilic compounds from dry mud following solvents were used: chloroform, pentane, methylene chloride and acetone. Findings: Performed experiments show that higher separation rate of BAOC from naturally dry peloids is achieved by use of coherent extraction by two extragents with different polarity. The optimal time of each extraction was 15 min, with10-15min intervals. Quantitative results were obtained by gravimetric method of analysis. Conclusion: The use of dry mud treatment increases the potential of peloidotherapy in Georgia which gives the possibility of use peloids as brackets, granules, massage creams for carrying out the procedures at home conditions.
