Abstract

Dry skin is a common dermatological condition that can adversely affect both comfort and appearance. Natural moisturisers, such as butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea), offer a safe alternative due to their flavonoid and anthocyanin content, which provide antioxidant properties and enhance skin hydration. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate hand and body lotion containing C. ternatea extract and to assess the effect of varying extract concentrations on its physicochemical properties and moisturising efficacy. An experimental study with a quantitative descriptive design was conducted. Three formulations containing 1%, 3%, and 5% extract were prepared using the maceration method with 96% ethanol. Physicochemical evaluations included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, and skin moisture tests, with statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA. All formulations met the quality requirements for topical preparations. Significant differences (p 0.05, ANOVA) were observed in pH, adhesion, and moisture, while spreadability showed no significant differences among formulations. The results demonstrate that C. ternatea extract can be successfully incorporated into lotion formulations with effective moisturising properties. Further research should include long-term stability testing, in vivo efficacy and safety assessments, and consumer acceptability evaluations.

Abstract

β-Carotene is a provitamin A with strong antioxidant activity but is unstable to heat and oxidation. This study aimed to determine the β-carotene content of green spinach (Amaranthus viridis L.) and red spinach (Amaranthus tricolor L.) under fresh and boiled conditions using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The assay was performed at 451 nm after maceration extraction with n-hexane:acetone:ethanol (2:1:1, v/v). Calibration in the range of 4–10 μg/mL showed excellent linearity (y = 0.064x – 0.003, r = 0.999). The results demonstrated that red spinach contained substantially higher β-carotene than green spinach. Boiling slightly increased the content in green spinach (17.16 → 18.76 ± 0.21 mg/g), while it caused a small decrease in red spinach (50.23 → 47.76 mg/g). These findings suggest that boiling has different effects depending on the spinach type, possibly due to a balance between heat-induced degradation and enhanced release from softened plant tissues. In conclusion, red spinach is a richer dietary source of β-carotene, but thermal processing reduces its stability. The validated UV–Vis spectrophotometric method is suitable for routine determination of β-carotene in leafy vegetables.
