Abstract

Skin damage may be caused by metabolic waste products, combustion processes, and free radicals, which require antioxidants both systemically and locally. One source of antioxidants can be obtained from aloe vera gel extract, which contains compounds such as aloin, aloesin, aloe-emodin, and tannins. This study aimed to determine whether aloe vera gel extract could be formulated into a face mist preparation and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the resulting face mist formulation. One of the benefits of face mist preparations is their ability to refresh and moisturize facial skin while also providing protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced damage.The aloe vera gel extract face mist formulations were prepared in varying concentrations of 30%, 35%, and 40%, followed by evaluations including organoleptic testing, pH testing, spreadability testing, homogeneity testing, and viscosity testing. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH method with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, using vitamin C as the reference standard. The results demonstrated that aloe vera gel extract could be successfully formulated into face mist preparations at concentrations of 30%, 35%, and 40%. Based on the evaluation results, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, specific gravity, viscosity, and spreadability, all formulations met the required standards for face mist preparations. The antioxidant activity test results showed that the 30%, 35%, and 40% aloe vera gel extract face mist formulations were classified as strong antioxidants.

Abstract

Syzygium polyanthum (Salam) leaves are widely utilized as both a culinary spice and a traditional medicinal plant in Indonesia. They are rich in phenolic compounds, which are known to exhibit potent antioxidant properties. This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activity of the ethanolic extract of S. polyanthum leaves. The antioxidant capacity was determined using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay via visible spectrophotometry. The extract was tested at concentrations ranging from 12.5 to 200 ppm, with ascorbic acid serving as the positive control. The median inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated using linear regression analysis. The DPPH radical exhibited a maximum absorption wavelength (lmax) at 517.8 nm. The ethanolic extract of S. polyanthum leaves demonstrated a concentration-dependent radical scavenging activity, achieving 95.27 ± 0.17 % inhibition at 200 ppm. The calculated IC50 value for the extract was 36.37 ± 6.02 ppm, whereas the ascorbic acid standard exhibited an IC50 of 1.36 ± 0.08 ppm. According to the standard antioxidant potency classification, the ethanolic extract of S. polyanthum leaves falls into the "very strong" antioxidant category (IC50 < 50 ppm). These findings suggest that S. polyanthum leaves represent a highly promising natural source for the development of functional antioxidant products.
