Formulation and Evaluation of Secang Stem Extract ( Caesalpinia Sappan L ) in Decorative Cosmetics

Abstract

Secang ( Caesalpinia sappan L ) is part of Caesalpiniaceae Familia. Orange to dark red color on skin of stem caused by brazilin in anthocyanin. Anthocyanins is a pigment that can be used in lipstick and replace lipstick dye which commonly used synthetic. This research is to formulate lipstick dye preparations using dyes from the bark of secang. The research is to formulate the lipstick dye using a color substance of Secang skin stem. Extract of Secang skin stem preparation made by the maceration method during 1x24 hour in room temperature using 70% ethanol solvent with a rotary evaporator to obtained viscous yield extract of 75%. Lipstick material is composed of carnauba wax, cera alba, cetyl alcohol, vaseline, oleum ricini, lanolin, propylene glycol, butyl hidroksitoluen, nipagin, and coloring from dye of Secang skin stem extract with a concentration of 14 %, 22 % and 30%. The test is covering, test of power smear, a test of homogeneity, point of melting test, pH test, strength and organoleptic test. The preparation of lipstick is providing the light red to dark red color who easily applied. The lipstick melting point is 64,20C; 61,90C and 60,60C. The pH value is 5; 5,7 and 6,4. The stability of colors, shapes, and smells are stable. The development of lipstick dye manufacture with extracts of Secang skin stem can be used as a substitute for synthetic dye

The Utilization of Secang Wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) Extract Nanoemulsion as Natural Pigment in Lip Cream Preparations

“…The higher the concentration of the extract, the lower its ability to spread because the consistency of the preparation is thicker. The lower the viscosity of a preparation, the greater the distribution will be so that the contact between the active substance and the skin will be wider and the absorption of color into the skin will be even 16 . Overall, the lip cream preparations show that nanoemulsion and conventional lip cream preparations have good spreadability values, namely 5-7 cm.…”

“…The difference in pH value is due to differences in the concentration of secang wood extract in the preparation which increases and the addition of ingredients in the base which apparently affects the pH value 19 . The lip cream preparations made have a pH value that is still within safe limits for the pH of topical preparations, namely 4.5-7 16 .…”

A Comprehensive Review on Bioactive Compounds Found in Caesalpinia sappan

“…Sappan wood extract has been found to possess antiaging and skin-lightening properties. It could be used as an active ingredient in cosmetic products, such as an antiaging creams, lotions, and face masks, and it might be used as an active ingredient [105].…”
