Abstract

The cosmetics industry has been experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing consumer awareness of personal hygiene and self-care. Among personal care products, shower gels have gained significant market traction due to their convenience and perceived hygiene benefits compared to conventional bar soaps. This study evaluates the feasibility of establishing a shower gel manufacturing facility in Ketapang, South Lampung, by assessing key factors such as market potential, technical viability, financial sustainability, and regulatory compliance. The global shower gel market is projected to expand at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.47%, reaching an estimated value of USD 70.88 billion by 2031. This trend is reflected in Indonesia, where demand for liquid personal care products has been steadily rising due to shifts in consumer lifestyles and increased disposable incomes. Despite the promising market outlook, the domestic cosmetics manufacturing sector faces challenges such as dependence on imported raw materials, supply chain inefficiencies, and limited local production capacity. This study examines whether localizing production in Ketapang, a region with access to natural resources and supportive industrial policies, can offer a competitive advantage. The research employs a feasibility study framework incorporating market analysis, technical assessment, financial modeling, and non-technical considerations. The financial analysis reveals that with an estimated production of 5,000 units per month, the facility is projected to generate IDR 523.2 million in revenue. The calculated cost of goods sold (HPP) per unit is IDR 87,204.86, with a selling price set at IDR 104,645.83 to maintain a 20% profit margin. Break-even analysis indicates that the facility must achieve a monthly sales volume of at least 7,500 units to cover all costs. The return on investment (ROI) is projected at 10.12%, with an estimated payback period of 9.88 years. The study also highlights regulatory requirements, including compliance with BPOM (Indonesian Food and Drug Authority) standards, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and environmental sustainability protocols. Findings suggest that while the venture is financially and operationally viable, achieving profitability requires strategic interventions. These include securing local raw materials to reduce cost dependencies, optimizing production processes, implementing marketing strategies to increase brand competitiveness, and engaging policymakers for potential fiscal incentives. Overall, the establishment of a shower gel manufacturing facility in Ketapang presents a strong opportunity to tap into Indonesia's growing cosmetics sector while contributing to regional economic development.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the phytochemical content of butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) extract using the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method with a deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of choline chloride and citric acid in a 1:1 molar ratio, with the addition of 10% water. The extraction process was carried out for 30 minutes at a temperature of 50°C. Phytochemical screening results showed that the DES extract of butterfly pea contains various bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, and saponins, each exhibiting distinct color reactions or precipitates during testing. Flavonoids, particularly anthocyanins, produced a stable red color under acidic conditions and upon interaction with metal ions, indicating potential as natural colorants and antioxidants. Tannins formed dark green complexes with FeCl₃, while terpenoids produced a reddish-brown color as a result of the reaction with Salkowski reagent. Saponins generated stable foam due to their amphiphilic nature, indicating surfactant activity beneficial for cosmetic formulations. Overall, these findings suggest that the DES-based butterfly pea extract holds strong potential as a natural bioactive source for cosmetic applications, particularly due to its prominent flavonoid content and antioxidant activity.

Abstract

Cosmetics are one of the necessities, especially for women to maintain healthy skin and appearance to become more confident. Cosmetics are products that are widely applied to the body, especially the skin, and their compositions come into contact with the skin for many years with the user. Therefore, the ingredients used in cosmetics must be safe and have concentrations that can be tolerated by the body, so as not to cause ongoing harmful effects. According to European law, all cosmetics approved for circulation in the European Union must be safe for users, and the responsibility for this lies with manufacturers, distributors, and importers. However, the use of cosmetics can have undesirable effects due to the presence of certain chemicals. often, these chemicals have harmful and long-lasting effects, especially for pregnant women as they can affect foetal growth and development. There are cosmetic ingredients that have been shown to be teratogenic and potentially harmful during and after pregnancy. This review explores the various teratogenic substances, their impact on pregnancy, and how to prevent the use of teratogenic cosmetic ingredients. It is acknowledged that exposure to mercury during pregnancy and childhood poses a serious risk to public health. To effectively guide future cosmetic recommendations, more studies especially examining mercury, hydroquinone, retinoic acid from cosmetics are necessary. Key words: Cosmetics, Hydroquinone, Mercury, Retinoic acid, Teratogenic.

Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is widely used in day cream formulations as a physical UV filter due to its broad-spectrum protection and stabilizing properties. However, its tendency to produce a visible whitecast on the skin presents a major aesthetic drawback, particularly for consumers with medium to dark skin tones. This study aimed to formulate three variants of day cream containing different concentrations of TiO₂ (6%, 3.3%, and 2%) and evaluate their visual characteristics, pH compatibility, and consumer-perceived whitecast intensity to determine the optimal balance between UV protection and cosmetic elegance. All formulations were prepared following a standardized emulsification protocol using identical excipient compositions, with TiO₂ concentration as the only variable. Organoleptic and pH evaluations were conducted, followed by a sensory assessment involving 20 respondents who evaluated whitecast visibility and overall preference using structured questionnaires. All formulations demonstrated desirable visual and organoleptic characteristics, including homogeneous white color, soft mango fragrance, and smooth texture with a pH within the ideal physiological range (4.5–5.5). Sensory evaluation revealed that higher TiO₂ concentrations led to more pronounced whitecast. Formulation F3 (2% TiO₂) was most preferred by 75% of respondents for its minimal whitecast and natural finish. The results indicate a direct correlation between TiO₂ concentration and whitecast intensity. While higher TiO₂ concentrations improve opacity and UV protection, they compromise cosmetic acceptability. Formulation with 2% TiO₂ offers an optimal balance for daily cosmetic use, supporting the development of aesthetically pleasing and functionally protective skincare products.

Abstract

This study examines how an Indonesian organic-skincare SME integrates science-based storytelling, calibrated fear appeals, and micro-influencer collaboration on Instagram to build brand engagement and consumer trust. It addresses the research gap on balancing educational and threat-based messaging in emerging Muslim-majority markets. A 16-week single-case study combined (i) five semi-structured interviews, (ii) document analysis of a four-month content calendar (71 posts), and (iii) post-level Instagram analytics. Thematic coding (κ = 0.82) was integrated with non-parametric tests (Mann–Whitney) in a mixed-methods joint display. Scientific storytelling embedded in a five-stage content workflow lifted saves-to-view ratios and underpinned a 70 % repeat-purchase rate. Fear-appeal posts generated 1.2× more comments but provoked backlash unless paired with coping advice, supporting the Extended Parallel Process Model. Posts co-created with niche influencers achieved six-fold higher views (3,189 vs 524) and engagement rates (2.46 % vs 0.41 %) than stand-alone brand content. Resource-constrained beauty brands should (i) codify a science-first scripting routine, (ii) sequence “threat-then-solution” messages, and (iii) prioritize credibility-matched micro-influencers over costly macro endorsements. This study is the first to integrate live social-media analytics, internal workflow documents, and stakeholder interviews to test how scientific storytelling and fear appeals interact under influencer mediation in an emerging-market cosmetics context, extending content-marketing and fear-appeal theory.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of opacifier (Titanium Dioxide) and thickener (Carbomer) concentrations on phase instability in Inesia Hand and Body Lotion Midsummer products, and to formulate reformulation solutions to improve their stability. Initial observations on the commercial product (Formula F1) showed severe phase instability, characterized by two-layer separation after 27 hot-cold cycle tests. To address this, three experimental formulas (F3, F4, F5) were designed by varying the concentrations of Carbomer and Titanium Dioxide, using F1 as an unstable control and F2 as a stable control. Accelerated stability test results over 27 cycles showed that Carbomer concentration was the dominant factor in determining emulsion stability. Formulas F1 and F4, with low Carbomer concentrations (0.12% and 0.14%), experienced significant instability (total separation in F1, slight creaming in F4) exacerbated by higher Titanium Dioxide concentrations. In contrast, Formula F5 (1,20% Carbomer, 0.09% TiO2​) showed emulsion stability, maintaining perfect homogeneity for 26 cycles. Interestingly, Formula F3 (0.16% Carbomer, 0.10% TiO2​) also proved to be very stable and equivalent to F2, indicating an effective threshold for optimal stability. Organoleptic evaluation supported the physical stability findings. Increasing Carbomer concentration proved to be an effective reformulation strategy in overcoming phase instability in Inesia body lotion. This research provides a scientific basis for the development of more stable cosmetic products.
