The role of selected flavonoids from bajakah tampala (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk.) stem on cosmetic properties: A review

Data on cosmetic sales has grown significantly recently, with consumers increasingly choosing natural cosmetics or biocosmetics. The natural ingredient that has received attention recently is stingless bee propolis. Stingless bee propolis has been utilized in cosmetics manufacturing and has been extensively studied for its beneficial properties for the skin, including anti-acne, anti-aging, and skin-whitening properties. This review comprehensively analyzes the potential of stingless bee propolis for anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antioxidant, anti-wrinkle, anti-melanogenesis, and sunscreen activity. The chemical compound that has been found in stingless bee propolis and can be used in biocosmetics, including p-coumaric acid, gallic acid, caffeic acid, ellagic acid, ferulic acid, catechin, quercetin, apigenin, kaempferol, glyasperin, broussoflavonol, rutin, methyldiplacone, nymphaeol, geranyl flavonol, oleic acid, palmitic acid, ascorbic acid, and tocopherol. The potential applications of stingless bee propolis in biocosmetics are significant, and there are numerous benefits of using it. Further research is needed to understand its potential applications and benefits for the skin.

Candida albicans can cause two infections in humans: superficial and systemic. The ability of C. albicans to infect the host is influenced by virulence factors and character changes so that it can fool the immune system. From the character change factor, C. albicans can form a biofilm. This study aims to determine the good concentration in inhibiting and determine the antifungal and antibiofilm activity of nanoemulsion mouthwash formulation of bajakah tampala (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk) skin extract against C. albicans. This research was conducted with an experimental method. The formulation used a spontaneous magnetic stirrer technique to make nanoemulsion preparations. Antifungal and antibiofilm tests were carried out by dilution method using a 96-well plate and a microplate reader with a wavelength of 620 nm to determine the percentage inhibition against C. albicans and determine MIC50 and MBIC50. The results showed that the nanoemulsion mouthwash formulation of S. littoralis inhibited the planktonic and biofilm of C. albicans. The concentration of 1% is expressed as MIC50 and MBIC50. Therefore, the nanoemulsion formulation of S. littoralis extract could inhibit the growth of C. albicans in the oral cavity.
