Abstract

Introduction: Used cooking oil is oil that has been used repeatedly up to 3-4 times frying. The negative impact of used cooking oil if thrown away will become waste and damage the surrounding environment. One of the products of used cooking oil processing is aromatherapy candles and soap. Various forms of aromatherapy have sprung up such as essential oils, candles, incense, soaps and massage oils. People only use candles as a source of lighting when there is no electricity source. The function of candles is not only a lighting aid but is widely used as a room decorator and as a room fragrance, in this case what is commonly used is aromatherapy candles. Objective: The objectives of this activity are (1) Minimizing the disposal of used cooking oil (2) Changing the lifestyle of the community to process used cooking oil waste based on zero waste industry (3) Reducing the disposal of used cooking oil in any place can reduce the risk of groundwater pollution (4) Creating anti-mosquito aromatherapy candle products that have economic value. Method: The method of implementing the activity was carried out by providing material on the utilization of used cooking oil and training in making aromatherapy candle products for mosquitoes. Result: The outputs of this activity are increased knowledge related to products and the risk of contamination to the environment, increased knowledge and skills of partners in making aromatherapy candles. Conclusion: The training on making mosquito-repellent aromatherapy candles from used cooking oil successfully improved participants' knowledge and skills. It supports waste reduction and economic empowerment. Despite challenges in raw material consistency, the program holds potential for sustainability and commercialization.

Abstract

Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a natural source rich in β-carotene, an antioxidant compound that may inhibit melanin formation through the tyrosinase inhibition mechanism. This study aimed to determine the effect of varying concentrations of carrot extract in lotion formulations on skin-brightening effectiveness. This experimental laboratory study used four lotion formulations: a negative control, Formula 1 (5%), Formula 2 (10%), Formula 3 (15%), and a positive control (Kojie San® commercial lotion). The formulations were evaluated for physical characteristics (organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, and viscosity), safety through skin irritation testing, and skin-brightening effectiveness using a human skin tone set for 14 days on 25 female respondents. The results showed that all formulations met the physical property parameters, except for spreadability and adhesion, which were below the standard. No skin irritation was observed. Based on the skin-brightening test, 16% of respondents showed an improvement in skin brightness after 14 days of application, with Formula 3 (15%) exhibiting the highest effect, where 8% of respondents experienced a one-level increase on the skin tone scale compared to other formulations and the negative control. It can be concluded that the variation in carrot extract concentration affected the skin-brightening effectiveness, with the 15% formulation showing the highest result. These findings indicate that β-carotene in carrot extract has potential as a safe and effective natural active ingredient in cosmetic skin-lightening formulations.
