Abstract

Skin that is continuously exposed to sunlight can cause a reduction in the structure and elasticity of the skin and other bad effects, so it is necessary to have a skin protective agent, one of which is using sunscreen preparations. In the cosmetics sector, making products from natural ingredients is more profitable. They have a good tolerance for the skin because they do not cause severe irritation to sensitive skin. This research aims to determine the activity of red betel leaf ethanol extract as a sunscreen by looking at the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) value. The determination of the SPF value of red betel leaf ethanol extract was carried out in vitro using UV-Vis spectrophotometers at a wavelength range of 290 – 320 nm. Phytochemical testing is carried out to determine the content of chemical compounds that play a role in sunscreen activity. The research results show that the SPF values obtained from concentrations of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 ppm, respectively, are 8.486 (extra-protection), 10,849 (maximum protection), 13,709 (maximum protection), 17.1 (ultra protection), 22 (ultra protection) and 25 (ultra protection). Based on the results of phytochemical tests, the ethanol extract of red betel leaves positively contains phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroids, and/or terpenoids. Keywords: Red betel leaves (Piper crocatum Ruiz &Pav), Sunscreen, SPF, In-Vitro, Ultra-protection

Abstract

Quercetin, like triterpenoids, decreases blood glucose levels. Quercetin has several limitations including low solubility, low percutaneous permeability, and low bioavailability. The formulation of quercetin preparations in a Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC) system is one solution to increase its solubility. The quercetin NLC system was successfully formulated by the high shear homogenization method at a speed of 6000 rpm. The solid lipid glyceryl monostearate and  sunflower oil play important roles in the formation of NLC. The physicochemical characteristics examined in this study included the particle size, dispersion, viscosity, pH, and entrapment efficiency. The particle size of NLC quercetin ranges from 22.98 ± 0.008 nm to 41.04 ± 0.082 nm, with p-values < 0.05. The dispersion power of quercetin NLC ranges from 5.12 ± 0.11 cm to 7.01 ± 0.28 cm, p values < 0.05. The resulting pH range is 7.3 ± 0.01 to 7.4 ± 0.01, and the resulting viscosity is 223.7 ± 9.8 cps to 492.0 ± 0.0 cps. Entrapment efficiency range of (62.20 ± 0.245)% to (86.17 ± 0.287)% ( p < 0.05). The ratio of solid lipid concentration to liquid lipid concentration in NLC quercetin has a significant effect on particle size, dispersion, and entrapment efficiency.  Keywords: Nanostructured Lipid Carrier, Quercetin, Lipid, Glyceryl Monosterate, Sunflower Oil

Abstract

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition caused by sebaceous follicles and characterized by skin inflammation in the form of a buildup of bacteria and oil that clogs pores and causes acne. Centella asiatica (L.) Urb., often known as gotu kola, has antibacterial properties that inhibit Propionibacterium acnes, thereby reducing papules, pustules, and nodules. Antioxidants, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid found in gotu kola (Centella asiatica (L.) Urb.) can treat wounds. Skin damaged by acne can be repaired and rejuvenated with gotu kola antioxidants, which also help collagen formation more quickly in the skin. This research aims to examine the ability of gotu kola (Centella asiatica (L.) Urb.) extract to inhibit acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) resulting from a literature review. This research method is a literature review or literature review. Research journals that met the inclusion criteria (activity test results suppressing bacterial growth activity) were collected, and a journal summary was made. A summary of the research journals is included in the table sorted by the year of publication of the journal.
