Formulation and Stability Assessment of Arabica and Civet Coffee Extracts Based Cosmetic Preparations

Abstract

Objective: The coffee is one of the most common beverages with reported health benefits. The coffee extracts are used in cosmetic and pharmacological preparations. The present study deals with the development of Arabica and Civet coffee extract based cosmetic formulas and its stability.Methods: Coffee extracts were prepared by mechanical pressing and solvent extraction methods. The total phenolic content of the extracts was assessed by Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method. The body lotion (BL) and hand moisturizing cream (HMC) were formulated, and the stability, heavy metal, and microbial contamination of the products stored at different temperatures for 3 months were evaluated by the organoleptic method, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and plate assay, respectively. Results:The developed products (BL and HMC) were creamy, slightly dark in color with coffee fragrance. The products were stable, and no changes in color, odor, and texture were observed, for 3 months even at 40°C. BL was found to be not contaminated with lead, whereas, the presence of arsenic and mercury were found in the concentration of <0.16 and <0.09 mg/kg, respectively. The HMC has <0.16 mg/kg of arsenic and <0.09-0.28 mg/kg of mercury, while no lead content was detected. BL and HMC harbor only 253-281 and 231-251 CFU/g, respectively. The products were free from pathogenic microbes. The extract method has not affected the quality of the product. Conclusion:The BL and HMC were stable and contain negligible amount of heavy metal and found to be microbiologically safe. The presence of coffee extract in the products nourishes and protects the skin and suitable for topical applications.

Coffee as a Naturally Beneficial and Sustainable Ingredient in Personal Care Products: A Systematic Scoping Review of the Evidence

“…This role is performed by occlusive substances, including hydrocarbons, stearic acid, linolenic acid, and sterols, commonly found in plants oils. The coffee bean has been extensively investigated as a natural ingredient in moisturizing cosmetics due to its rich oil composition and antioxidant activity (Pereda et al, 2009;Chaiyasut et al, 2018;Diamantino et al, 2019;Putri et al, 2019). However, recent studies also demonstrated the effectiveness of hydro-alcoholic extracts of coffee silverskin as an occlusive agent (Rodrigues et al, 2016b,d).…”

Coffea: The Application of green Components in Cosmetics Formulation

“…The product was stable and did not change in color, odor, and texture for three months at 40 ° C. Body lotion was found to be uncontaminated with lead, Traditional Medicine Journal, 26(3), 2021 whereas arsenic and mercury were found in negligible amounts and were shown to be safe free of pathogenic microbes. The coffee extracts in the product nourished and protected the skin and were suitable for topical applications (Chaiyasut et al, 2018).…”

“…to increase attractiveness, protect, and repair for better appearance (Haynes et al, 1997). The use of coffee in cosmetic were developing, mainly as antiaging (Girsang et al, 2020;Safrida et al, 2017), antioxidant (Yanni et al, 2018;Sunoqrot et al, 2021;Zainol et al, 2020), sunscreen (Riberio et al, 2013;Rodrigues et al, 2016;Marto et al, 2016), moisturizer (Handayani et al, 2020;Chaiyasut et al, 2018), anti-cellulite (Herman et al, 2013), and face brightener (Kiattisin et al, 2016;Seo et al, 2019). The ethanol extract of arabica coffee beans had a very strong antioxidant is with an IC50 value of 12.43 ppm (DPPH assay)) (Ajhar and Meilani, 2020).…”

“…Sunscreen formulations in the form of water-in-oil emulsions provided a sun protection factor (SPF) (Rodrigues et al, 2016). Coffee was also used in the preparation of lip balm as a moisturizer (Handayani et al, 2020), body lotion, and hand moisturizing cream (Chaiyasut et al, 2018). In the future, coffee will have the potential to be developed as a cosmetic in a formulation with drug delivery systems such as SNEDDS (Pratiwi, 2021a;Pratiwi et al, 2021b), Solid Lipid Nanoparticle (Dzulhi et al, 2018)…”
