Abstract

This study aims to determine the most effective extraction method to obtain bioactive compounds from avocado (Persea americana Mill.) leaves, which are known for their antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Four extraction methods were evaluated—maceration, digestion, Soxhlet extraction, and ultrasonic extraction—using methanol and water as solvents. Evaluation was based on yield and stock solution concentration. Results showed that ultrasonic extraction produced the highest yield with a stock concentration of 2.5% m/v, indicating superior extraction efficiency compared to the other methods. Maceration and Soxhlet extraction produced moderate values, while digestion produced the lowest stock solution concentration (0.9%). These findings indicate that ultrasonic extraction is a rapid and efficient technique for extracting bioactive compounds from natural materials, making it highly relevant for application in cosmetic and pharmaceutical product development.

Abstract

Skinimalism has gained visibility as a beauty trend promoting fewer products, fewer routine steps, and deliberate essentials. This study maps how skinimalism is narrated in Instagram hashtag posts using qualitative netnographic observation and descriptive content analysis. Forty caption entries were purposively sampled from the #skinimalism feed; after removing near-duplicates, 36 unique captions were analyzed. Captions were predominantly in English (63.9%), followed by Indonesian (25.0%) and other languages (11.1%), with #skinimalism appearing explicitly in 80.6% of captions. Dominant narrative categories comprised trend definition or education (30.6%), product promotion (27.8%), and routine guidance (22.2%). Nonexclusive thematic coding revealed routine simplification as the most prevalent element (66.7%), followed by natural look aesthetics (33.3%), while multifunctionality or hybrid product framing was relatively limited (11.1%). Actor cues were identifiable in many posts, including brands or commercial accounts (22.2%), creators or educators (19.4%), clinics or experts (11.1%), and individual users (8.3%), although 38.9% could not be clearly classified. Engagement assessed from visible comment excerpts (n = 40) indicated limited discourse, with half of the posts showing no comments and the remainder dominated by emotive or transactional responses. This limited engagement does not necessarily signal weak consumer interest but reflects Instagram’s role in stabilizing trend narratives through curated, authored content. Overall, the hashtag feed functions as a structured narrative field that reinforces skinimalism through procedural templates and marketing-aligned messaging rather than extended peer deliberation.

Abstract

Skin aging is a complex biological process influenced by intrinsic factors (genetic, hormonal, and metabolic) and extrinsic factors (UV exposure, pollution, and lifestyle), characterized by decreased collagen and elastin production and increased oxidative stress. Sacha Inchi seed oil is known for its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and bioactive compounds such as tocopherols and phenolics, which exhibit antioxidant activity beneficial to skin health. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physical stability of a facial serum containing Sacha Inchi seed oil (Plukenetia volubilis L.) as a natural anti-aging agent. The formulation was assessed through physical quality tests, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, spreadability, viscosity, pH, and a cycling stability test over six cycles at 4°C and 40°C to simulate extreme storage conditions. The results showed that the serum maintained its physical stability after the cycling test. No significant changes were observed in organoleptic properties (color, odor, texture), and the formulation remained homogeneous with no phase separation. Viscosity slightly decreased from 3920 to 3643 mPa·s, while spreadability decreased from 13.6 to 9.4 g·cm/s, yet both remained within acceptable cosmetic limits. The pH remained stable between 5.44 and 5.47, aligning with the physiological skin pH range (4.5–6.5). These findings indicate that Sacha Inchi oil can be effectively formulated into a physically stable serum and holds promise for development as a natural active ingredient in anti-aging skincare products.

Abstract

The cosmetic industry is increasingly seeking sustainable bioactive ingredients from novel biological sources to meet growing consumer demand for naturally derived formulations with reduced environmental impact. Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae have emerged as a promising alternative source of cosmetic bioactives, offering advantages in sustainability, resource efficiency, and circular bioeconomy integration. This comparative review systematically analyzes cosmetic-relevant biological activities of oil extracts and protein hydrolysates derived from H. illucens larvae. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple scientific databases using targeted keywords related to BSF extracts and cosmetic applications. BSF larvae oil is characterized by a lipid profile rich in lauric acid (12–52%), oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids, resembling coconut and palm kernel oil compositions. These fatty acids contribute to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and photoprotective activities through mechanisms including membrane disruption, enzyme inhibition, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging. BSF oil extracts show strong potential for anti-acne formulations, skin barrier enhancement, and UVB protection. Protein hydrolysates obtained through enzymatic hydrolysis contain bioactive peptides (14–25 kDa) with high antioxidant capacity (up to 72.6% free radical inhibition) and cytoprotective effects against oxidative stress. In addition, BSF larvae produce diverse antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), such as defensins and cecropins, which target both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria via membrane disruption and intracellular interference. This review highlights BSF-derived ingredients as multifunctional, sustainable alternatives to conventional cosmetic actives, positioning H. illucens as a next-generation source for evidence-based cosmeceutical applications.

Abstract

Avocado oil has gained increasing attention as a functional lipid ingredient in cosmetic formulations due to its superior emollient performance and high content of unsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, and natural antioxidants. The shift toward sustainable manufacturing has stimulated the development of green extraction technologies capable of producing cosmetic-grade avocado oil while preserving its bioactive quality. This review critically examines recent advances in avocado oil extraction, comparing conventional methods such as cold pressing and solvent extraction with emerging technologies including supercritical and subcritical carbon dioxide extraction, ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and enzyme-assisted processes. The influence of extraction conditions on oil yield, free fatty acid content, oxidative stability, and retention of functional compounds is discussed based on peer-reviewed studies from the last decade. Attention is given to the suitability of each technique for cosmetic-grade applications, considering solvent safety, thermal degradation, energy efficiency, and alignment with green chemistry principles. Current findings indicate that assisted and CO₂-based extraction methods offer higher oil purity and improved preservation of bioactive components with lower environmental impact. However, challenges remain in process scalability, cost effectiveness, and the lack of standardized quality specifications for cosmetic-grade avocado oil. Future research directions are proposed to support industrial implementation of sustainable extraction strategies and to establish consistent quality benchmarks for green chemistry-based cosmetic formulations. This review provides a comprehensive reference for researchers and cosmetic manufacturers seeking to integrate green extraction technologies into sustainable product development.
