Abstract

Body scrub is one form of pharmaceutical preparation that functions to clean the skin from dirt, dead skin cells, dust, and oil with the help of scrub particles that act as abrasives. Currently, the use of natural body scrubs is more popular because of the minimal risks and side effects. Robusta coffee beans and aloe vera extract contain flavonoid compounds that function as free radical scavengers. This study aims to determine whether robusta coffee beans (Coffea Robusta) and aloe vera extract (Aloe vera) can be used as a body scrub preparation to ward off free radicals, and to evaluate their physical stability through organoleptic testing, pH testing, homogeneity, accompanied by irritation testing. This study used an experimental method in the laboratory. The body scrub formulation was developed in three variations of the proportion of coffee extract and powder, namely F0 (0%), F1 (4.6%), and F2 (6.13%). Evaluation of the body scrub preparation includes organoleptic testing, homogeneity testing, pH testing, and skin irritation testing. The results showed that robusta coffee beans and aloe vera extract can be formulated into a body scrub preparation. The results of the pH test show that the pH of the body scrub is 6, according to the pH of the skin, so it is safe when applied to the skin. The results of the volunteer skin irritation test are also safe, having no irritating effect on the skin.

Abstract

Testosterone is a hormone that plays an important role in sexual development and reproductive function. Infertility problems, decreased libido and erectile dysfunction are closely related to decreased testosterone levels in the blood. This study aims to see the effect of a mixture of ethanol extracts of bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) and areca nut (Areca catechu L) on testosterone levels in male white rats. This study used the Sexual Behavior method. 30 Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups consisting of distilled water control, positive control (X-Gra®) 45 mg/kg BW, ethanol extract of bitter melon (EEBP) dose of 100 mg/kg BW, ethanol extract of areca nut (EEP) dose of 50 mg/kg BW and mixed group of EEBP:EEP (1:1), after 15 days, blood samples were taken and testosterone levels were analyzed. The data obtained were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA test and continued with Tukey's HSD test with 95% confidence level (p<0.05) using SPSS ver.20 software. The results showed that testosterone levels in the EEBP group at a dose of 100 mg / kg BW and a mixture of EEBP: EEP (1: 1) of 2.31 ± 0.84 ng/ml and 1.65 ± 0.54 ng/ml were not significantly different when compared to the distilled water control group (p < 0.05). Testosterone levels in the EEP group at a dose of 50 mg/kg BW of 3.43 ± 0.98 ng/ml showed a significant difference with the aquades control group (p<0.05). The mixture of bitter melon ethanol extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW and areca nut seeds at a dose of 50 mg/kg BW was not able to increase testosterone levels, while the ethanol extract of areca nut seeds given singly at a dose of 50 mg/kg BW could increase testosterone hormone levels in male white rats. Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that a mixture of bitter melon ethanol extract at a dose of 100 mg / kg BW and areca nut seeds at a dose of 50 mg / kg BW is not able to increase testosterone levels, while areca nut ethanol extract given singly at a dose of 50 mg / kg BW can increase testosterone levels in male white rats.

Abstract

Chicken bones (Gallus gallus domestica) are a type of solid waste that contain protein sources in the form of collagen. Collagen is one of the main connective tissue proteins in animals, widely used as a biomedical material, and is effective as an anti-aging agent that helps prevent the appearance of aging signs on the skin. This study aims to determine the potential of broiler chicken bone collagen in serum formulations as a photoprotective, anti-pigmentation, and skin moisturizing agent. The research method used was an in vitro experimental method using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Collagen was extracted using NaOH and CH₃COOH 1 M, and serum formulations were prepared with concentrations F1 (1%), F2 (1.5%), F3 (2%), and F4 (2.5%). The SPF value, erythema and pigmentation levels, as well as skin moisture, were then determined. The results of the serum formulation showed physical and chemical stability, indicated by no significant differences before and after the cycling test in organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, viscosity, and spreadability evaluations. The SPF values of the serum preparations were: F1 (1%) = 2.814999, F2 (1.5%) = 3.287317, F3 (2%) = 4.659954, and F4 (2.5%) = 8.574363. The %Te and %Tp tests showed that F0 (without extract) fell under the “Sunblock <1” category, while F1, F2, F3, and F4 were categorized as “Fast tanning” with values between 45–86. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that chicken bone extract can be formulated into a serum preparation that is physically and chemically stable. The best SPF, %Te, and %Tp values were obtained in the F4 formula, categorized as optimal, with %Te and %Tp values in the fast tanning category. Additionally, the F4 formula increased skin moisture by 5%.

Abstract

The use of medicinal plants as active ingredients in topical formulations has been increasingly explored as a natural alternative to synthetic antimicrobial agents. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a topical cream containing a combination of ethanolic extracts of curry leaves (Murraya koenigii L.) and basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L.) as a natural antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus. The extracts were prepared through maceration using 96% ethanol, followed by phytochemical screening and antibacterial testing using the well-diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, and steroids in both extracts. The antibacterial assay showed that the 1:1 extract combination produced an average inhibition zone of 14.17 mm, classified as strong and exhibiting a partial synergistic effect compared with single extracts. Several oil-in-water (O/W) cream formulations were then developed to determine optimal physical stability. Formula F2 (2:1) demonstrated the best physical stability, with pH 6 ± 0.1, spreadability of ±5 cm, adhesion time >140 seconds, and viscosity of 4500–5000 cP, all meeting the SNI 16-4399-1996 standard. These findings indicate that the 1:1 combination ratio provides the highest antibacterial activity, while the 2:1 ratio yields the most stable physical characteristics, suggesting that both can serve as the basis for developing a safe, stable, and effective natural topical antibacterial cream against Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

Batok fruit or known as Limonia acidissima is a fruit commonly found in South and Southeast Asia, with content that has the potential to provide benefits for skin health. Batok fruit contains many antioxidants that can improve skin brightness. This study aims to formulate and evaluate the physical characteristics of peel-off mask preparations to brighten the skin containing Aceh batok fruit extract (Limonia acidissima). The extract was obtained by maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. The mask preparations were made in four formulations: F0 as a base without extract, and F1, F2, and F3 with extract concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively. Evaluation of the quality of the preparations included organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, spreadability, adhesion, drying time, and irritation test. The results showed that the addition of the extract affected the color of the preparation from yellow to yellowish brown and gave the extract a distinctive aroma. All formulas were proven safe, with pH values ​​within the physiological range of the skin (6.2-6.4) and did not irritate the panelists' skin. The drying time for all formulas was uniform, at 15 minutes. Formula F3 (30% extract) demonstrated the best spreadability (4.5 cm) compared to the other formulas. However, all formulas showed inhomogeneous results and had adhesion below the ideal standard for topical preparations, which is less than 2 seconds. It was concluded that formula F3 was the most optimal among those tested because it had the best spreadability, did not cause irritation, and improved skin brightness after washing for 1 week. However, further research is needed to improve the homogeneity and adhesion of the formulations.
