Making Skin Lotion From Virgin Coconut Oil With Adding Several Natural Plants Extract as a Skin Protector

Abstract

Virgina Coconut Oil is containing saturated fatty acid compound such as lauric and oleic which can soften dry and rough skin. While the natural ingridients of black tea extract, secang wood and telang flower contain polyphenol compounds which have antioxidant activity, they also have attractive colors making them suitable as natural dyes for cosmetic ingredients. The purpose of this study was to determine how to make skin lotion from VCO with the addition of natural coloring extracts, as well to determine the physical, chemical, microbiological and the level panelists preference for color, odor, adhesiveness and appearance. The result of this study indicate that the best formulation is foun in F3 with the addition of black tea extracts. VCO skin lotion with the addition of black tea with has a specific gravity value of 0,97, stability of 70,12%, dispertion of 7,3 cm, pH 6,3, free fatty acids 0,021%, antioxidant activity 83,26%, SPF 36,13 and total plate figures were not found. The panelists preference level for color 4.0, odor 4.3, appearance 4.5 and adhesiveness 4.5.

Efficacy of a Natural Papain-Induced Enzyme on Virgin Coconut Oil-Based Hand and Body Lotions with Added Orange Peel Extract

“…They showed organoleptic test scores of 4.0 for colour, 4.3 for odour, 4.5 for appearance, and 4.5 for adhesiveness. Black tea extract contains polyphenol compounds, which have antioxidant activity and have attractive colours, making tea suitable as a natural dye for cosmetic ingredients (Rini et al, 2020).…”

Formulation and evaluation of virgin coconut oil (VCO) lotion: Effect of variation in emulsifier type and concentration

“…Derivative products of VCO hold high added value, one of which is used as the primary cosmetic compound in lotion making (Anggraini and Ritonga, 2020;Rulhisham and Razak 2021;Jose et al, 2022). Cream lotion is a semi-solid emulsion used as an emollient or skin protector (Mawazi et al, 2022).…”

“…In making skincare creams or lotions, emulsifiers are often added to enhance the emulsion process, thus improving it stability and physochemical characteristics (Alam et al, 2020;Anggraini and Ritonga, 2020;Setyaningsih and Aminingsih, 2021;Huynh et al, 2021;Palefsky, 2022;). Two widely used emulsifiers are Tween 80 (a hydrophilic emulsifier) and Span 80 (a lipophilic emulsifier) (Faghmous et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2022;Yousefi et al, 2023).…”

Potential Loading of Virgin Coconut Oil into Centrifugally‐Spun Nanofibers for Biomedical Applications

“…VCO could also be transformed into biodiesel and bioethanol [9,10]. Nowadays, VCO is broadly utilized for biomedical applications as antibacterial and anti-microorganism [11][12][13][14][15][16], anti-inflammatory [4,14,17,18], super-absorbent [7], protection and remineralization agent for tooth [19,20], skin protector [21][22][23], immune booster [24], cancer inhibitor [25], blood pressure reducer [4], obesity reducer [26,27], treatment agent for neurodegenerative syndrome such as Alzheimer [28,29], and covid-19 treatment [30]. The utilization of VCO as a functional material in the -----health sector is generally carried out by direct supplementation or modifications into other forms, such as composite solutions, thin films, lotions, and emulsions [7,22,31,32].…”
