Abstract

Ultraviolet rays (UV) has an adverse effect on the skin, which is epidermis damage. One way to prevent the adverse effects of UV rays on the skin can be done by using sunscreen. The sunscreen mechanism of action was divided into chemical absorber and physical blocker. Chemical absorber will be degradated when exposed to UV rays, while ZnO as physical blocker can increase pH value of the sunscreen. The effectiveness of sunscreen was affected by pH value, so malic acid was added into the sunscreen formula to decrease pH value. This study was aimed to determine the optimum composition of ZnO and malic acid on pH, viscosity, SPF, transmission of erythema and transmission of pigmentation using factorial design method. 0,5% ZnO was set as the lowest level and 3% ZnO was set as the highest level; 0,5% malic acid was set as the lowest level and 0,8% malic acid was set as the highest level. Selected optimum formula was 0,5% ZnO and 0,8% malic acid with the predicted SPF value of 21,242; TE of 0,000; TP of 0,000; pH of 4,820; and viscosity of 80,333 dPa.s Keywords: sunscreen, Zinc Oxide, malic acid, Sun Protector Factor

Abstract

Phenols contained in coffee beans may also found inthe coffee leaves. Previous research showed that thearabica coffee leaves contain phenolic compounds[1]. Phenolic compounds are compounds that haveone or more hydroxyl groups attached directly to anaromatic ring [2]. Phenolics compounds have manybiological effects, including antioxidant activity [3].Antioxidants are the first line for defense againstfree radical damage, and important for health. Theneed for antioxidants becomes even more criticalwith increased exposure to free radicals. Pollution,cigarette smoke, drugs, illness, stress, and evenexercise can increase free radical exposure [4].The aim of this study was to determine totalphenolic content and antioxidant activity inmethanolic extracts of robusta and arabica coffeeleaves (old and young leaves), as potential sources ofnatural antioxidants. The relationship betweenphenolic content and antioxidant activity was alsoinvestigated.
