Abstract

Gambir, an extract derived from the leaves and branches of the gambir plant, holds significant potential for enhancing the local economy and its benefits as a cosmetics product. Jorong Balai Tampuak Pinang, Nagari Simpang Kapuak, Kecamatan Mungka, was one of the areas producing traditional gambir in Lima Puluh Kota district, West Sumatra, Indonesia. This community service initiative aimed to augment the economic value of gambir from its processing to raw materials of bath soap. The initiative began with an educational session for training participants, outlining the advantages of gambir in skincare and how to incorporate it into bath soap formulations. Following the learning session, participants actively produced gambir-contained bath soap utilizing the provided formula. The activity received favorable feedback from participants who appreciated enhancing knowledge and skills. The outcomes of this endeavor underscore the substantial potential of developing body care products utilizing gambir as a primary ingredient. Participant testimonials underscore the need to conduct similar community engagement activities to harness Gambir's further utilization of other personal care products. The collaboration between the pharmacy study program and the local community has opened new avenues for local economic development and sustainable growth, significantly impacting the local population's well-being in the region.

Abstract

Indonesia is an important country that produces essential oils that are widely used in fragrance cosmetic products. The use of local essential oils for cosmetics needs to be introduced to the youth generation with the aim that they do not just become consumers. Youth organisations in Kerinci have many activities to improve their skills and abilities for a better future. Collaboration between the university and the youth organisation was achieved by providing training on doing cosmetic product training on making cosmetic products. The product uses essential oils called body mist. Nowadays, the youth still know very little about the manufacturing process of cosmetics products. To provide further benefits, this community service activity collaborated with BBPOM in Padang, West Sumatra, to explain cosmetic safety and the registration process of cosmetic products. With this series topic in this training and outreach-related cosmetics, it is hoped that it can increase business ideas for young people who are members of the Sakti Alam Kerinci Organisation.

Abstract

Nanoemulsion is an effective drug delivery system to enhance the penetration of active substances. Xanthorrhizol (XNT) shows potential as an anti-aging agent with collagenesis activity and photo-aging inhibition, but its lipophilic nature limits skin penetration and reduces its effectiveness in reaching the stratum corneum. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the formulation of xanthorrhizol nanoemulsion using the Design of Experiment (DoE) statistical approach with the Box-Behnken Design (BBD) method on the Design Expert® software. The optimization in this study involved three independent variables (X): (X₁) the concentration of Smix (Tween 80 and PEG 400), (X₂) stirring time, and (X₃) stirring speed. The responses (Y) evaluated to determine the optimization outcome were (Y₁) percent transmittance (%T) and (Y₂) pH. Based on the optimization results, the base formula with the amount of Smix 60%, stirring speed 875 rpm and stirring time 15 minutes gave a 98.4%T response and pH 7.05. The xanthorrhizol nanoemulsion formula was yellow in color and had a distinctive xanthorrhizol odor. The formulation exhibited a globule size of 13.76 ± 0.2 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.059 ± 0.000, and a zeta potential of −48.03 ± 1.423 mV. It also showed 95.5 ± 0.31% transmittance, had a pH of 7.12 ± 0.01, and was classified as an oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion. The nanoemulsion remained stable after freeze-thaw and centrifugation tests, with an entrapment efficiency of 58.6%. Based on these findings, the developed formulation can be considered a promising nanoemulsion system for xanthorrhizol delivery
