Abstract

The use of skincare products is the primary need in modern society. There is an increase in awareness of maintaining beauty and healthy skin, as well as the desire to have naturally glowing, healthy skin, which is in line with the rise in the use of cosmetics, especially skincare products. Nature provides many plants and marine resources (such as algae) that can be utilized as essential ingredients for cosmetics preparations with various benefits such as cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and sun protectors, a primary series of skincare products to gain naturally glowing, healthy skin. This review aims to provide information about plants and marine algae that can be used as skincare ingredients, their phytochemical contents, and their function in cosmetics to achieve naturally glowing skin. Various plants and marine algae categorized based on their benefits as skincare have great potential to be developed as ingredients in cosmetic preparations. The content of phytochemical compounds in these plants and marine algae supports these benefits. Each skincare category has major phytochemical compounds that play a role in providing these benefits.

Abstract

Guazuma ulmifolia Lam., commonly known as Jati Belanda, has been used extensively in traditional medicine because of its various pharmacological properties. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacognostic features, phytochemical profile, and quality parameters of G. ulmifolia leaves. The dried leaves were extracted using 70% ethanol through maceration, and the extract was analyzed for organoleptic, microscopic, and macroscopic characteristics, moisture content, extractive values, ash content, metal contamination, and phytochemical composition. Phytochemical screening identified the presence of flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, coumarins, and monoterpenoids/sesquiterpenoids. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) confirmed the presence of flavonoids with quercetin as a standard. Quantitative analysis showed a total phenolic content of 2.1 ± 0.297 mg GAE/g and a total flavonoid content of 1.27 ± 0.12 mg QE/g of extract. All metal contamination levels, including Pb, Cd, and Hg, were within safe limits. These findings support the potential of G. ulmifolia leaves as a safe and standardized raw material for herbal medicine.Keywords:  Guazuma ulmifolia Lam., Pharmacognosy study, Phytochemical screening
