Abstract

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a natural ingredient with potential therapeutic properties for addressing various skin-related problems. The study aims to identify a suitable formulation for a facial toner extract that exhibits favourable physical properties as determined by organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, and hedonic testing. The present study employed an experimental approach to produce a 70% ethanol extract of cucumber fruit through the maceration method, utilising 70% ethanol solvent. Subsequently, the extract derived from the cucumber fruit developed four formulas to prepare face toners. The concentrations of these formulas were designated as F0 (0%), FI (0.5%), F2 (1%), F3 (1.5%), and F4 (utilising brand x toner as a positive control). The physical evaluation test yielded the fulfilment of the physical criteria for the toner, encompassing the organoleptic, homogeneous, pH, and hedonic tests. The IC50 values obtained from the antioxidant activity test conducted on face toner preparations containing cucumber fruit extract at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% were found to be 128 ppm, 91.017 ppm, and 62.218 ppm, respectively. The SPSS analysis reveals a significant difference in the IC50 value among the various formulas. Specifically, F3 exhibits a smaller IC50 value than the other formulas, indicating a stronger antioxidant activity. It is important to note that a smaller IC50 value indicates a stronger antioxidant activity. The study's findings suggest a positive correlation existing between the extract's concentration and its antioxidant activity, specifically, the extract denoted as F and administered at a concentration of 1.5%.

Abstract

Background: Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) peel contains many chemical compounds including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, polyphenols, and steroids/terpenoids. Breadfruit peel has potential as an antioxidant because it contains phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids and polyphenols. Objective: The aim of this study was to formulate and physically evaluate the preparation of a scrub cream from a 95% ethanol extract of breadfruit peel (Artocarpus altilis) and test its antioxidant activity. Methods: Body scrub cream formulations were prepared using different extract concentrations, such as F1 (no extract), F2 1%, F3 3%, F4 5%, and F5 (Vit C as an equalizer for the antioxidant activity test). Body scrub cream was formulated as an oil-in-water type cream preparation using breadfruit starch as a scrub. Physical evaluation of this preparation consisted of organoleptic, homogeneity, viscosity, pH, spreadability, adhesiveness, and room-temperature storage tests. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH method. Results: The results of the physical evaluation test showed that the body scrub cream produced good results and complied with the requirements of cream products. Antioxidant activity test results show the IC50 value of each formula is F1 (without extract) 107.8 µg/mL, F2 (1%) 72.48 µg/mL, F3 (3%) 56.54 µg/mL, F4 (5%) 43.40 µg/mL and F5 (vitamin C K+) 38.94 µg/mL. Conclusion: Based on these observations, the best formula is Formula 3 because the antioxidant test results are classified as strong, and the physical evaluation tests are considered stable.
