Abstract

The increasing demand for natural-based cosmetics has reshaped the beauty industry, driven by consumers seeking sustainable, eco-friendly, and ethically sourced products. This review explores the current trends, formulation challenges, and scientific innovations in the development of natural-based cosmetics. Key natural ingredients, such as plant extracts, oils, and waxes, are discussed in terms of their benefits, limitations, and formulation complexities. The article also addresses significant hurdles, including stability issues, the need for natural preservation systems, and consumer expectations for product efficacy and sensory experience. Advances in green chemistry, biotechnology, and encapsulation technologies are highlighted as critical drivers for overcoming these challenges. Innovations such as plant stem cells, microbial fermentation, and nanoemulsions have enhanced the performance and stability of natural actives. Looking ahead, the future of natural-based cosmetics lies in further integration of green biotechnologies to create more effective and sustainable bioactive ingredients. By embracing these innovations, the beauty industry is poised to meet consumer demands for high-performance products that are not only natural but also sustainable and ethically transparent.

Abstract

The butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) is known for its distinctive purple petals. This plant typically grows as an ornamental and can be used as a natural eye remedy and food coloring, safe for human consumption. This study aims to investigate the characteristics and perform a phytochemical screening of the butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.). The characteristics of the flower simplicia were examined through macroscopic and microscopic observations, followed by a phytochemical screening process, which included testing for alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids/steroids using specific reagents. Additionally, non-specific characteristics, such as moisture content, were analyzed. The results indicate that the flower simplicia has a distinct odor, is tasteless, blue in color, and appears in a dry form. Microscopically, the flower simplicia revealed single grains and thin slices, showing epidermal cell fragments with stomata and crystal fibers with vascular bundles. The phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids, while tannins and terpenoids/steroids were absent.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition of Pandanus amaryllifolius (fragrant pandan) leaf extract as a preliminary assessment of its potential application in herbal cosmetic formulations. The extraction was performed using the maceration method with 95% ethanol as the solvent. Qualitative phytochemical screening was conducted to identify major classes of secondary metabolites. The results confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, and saponins, while steroids and triterpenoids were not detected. Each identified compound group is known to contribute important biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, which are desirable in topical skincare products. These findings provide foundational evidence that P. amaryllifolius leaves are a promising natural source of multifunctional bioactive compounds for future cosmeceutical development.
