Recently, there have been hundreds of lip color cosmetics on the market in various colors. However, not all lip colors are safe to use. Without realizing it, there are lip dyes that contain dyes that are dangerous and are prohibited because they can cause irritation to the skin and respiratory tract. Therefore, it is better to use natural dyes. One of the sources of natural dyes is the fruit of kesumba. Extracts from simplicia of kesumba seeds were made by percolation using 96% ethanol as a solvent. The lipstick formulation formula consists of Cera alba, vaseline alba, lanolin, carnauba wax, cetyl alcohol, oleum ricini, propylene glycol, titanium dioxide, butylhydroxytoluene, tween 80, rose oil (oleum rosae), and nipagin, as well as the addition of kesumba seed extract with concentrations of 15%, 17.5%, 20%, 22.5%, and 25%. Tests on the preparations made included examination of the melting point, homogeneity, lipstick strength, stability test against changes in shape, color, and odor during 30 days of storage at room temperature, smear test, and pH examination, and irritation test preference test (Hedonic test). The results of the research that the extract of the kesumba fruit seed can be formulated in lipstick preparations with a light yellow to dark maroon color. The formulation of the kesumba seed extract in the lipstick preparation shows that the preparation is relatively stable homogeneous, the melting point is 58°C, has a good lipstick strength, the pH ranges from 6.3 to 5.7 (according to the pH of the skin) easy to apply with an even color. , does not irritate, so it is safe to use; the pretty preferred preparations are preparations 2, 3, and 4, namely the formula with extracts of kesumba seeds with concentrations of 17.5%, 20%, and 22.5%.
Free radicals are molecules that have free electrons, very harmful to health. One of the efforts to overcome it is with antioxidants. Naturally, in the body, there are antioxidants, namely superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and catalase, but depending on food intake, especially containing phenolics and flavonoids. Traditionally, guava leaves are used to treat diarrhea, dysentery, lower cholesterol, irregular menstruation, wounds, and canker sores. Judging from these various properties, it is possible that guava leaves contain chemical compounds that have the potential as antioxidants, especially phenolic compounds, the authors tested the ability of guava leaves as antioxidants. Guava leaves were prepared into ethanol extract, fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water, and phytochemical screening was carried out on the ethanol extract and each fraction. Antioxidant testing was carried out using the Radical Scavenger using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl. The test results showed that the ethanol extract contained alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, and glycosides. The n-hexane fraction contains alkaloids and glycosides. the ethyl acetate fraction contains tannins. the water fraction contains tannins and glycosides. As antioxidants, ethanol extract and water fraction were categorized as strong with IC50 ethanol = 42.06 g/ml, water fraction = 49.41 g/mL, n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions were categorized as medium with IC50 fraction n-hexane = 58.15 g /mL, ethyl acetate fraction = 51.60 g/ml.
The rhizome of mango Curcuma is empirically used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of gastric pain, pain, and inflammation due to hemorrhoids, sore throat, bronchitis, and asthma. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical compound content of secondary metabolites and the activity of the ethanol extract of Temu Mango (Curcuma mangga Val.) on the reduction of carrageenan-induced rat paw edema. The results of a preliminary examination of the chemical content of the rhizome of Intersection mango (Curcuma mango Val.) showed the presence of glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, essential oils, and steroids. In general, the suspension of the ethanol extract of Temu Mango at doses of 50, 100, 200 mg/kg BW gave an anti-inflammatory effect that began to appear in the first half-hour and continued to increase with increasing time. An increase of 2 times the dose of the ethanol extract of Temu Mango showed an anti-inflammatory effect that was not significantly different, but with an increased dose of 4 times, it showed a significant difference. Even the ethanol extract of Intersection mango at a dose of 200 mg/kg BW gave almost the same effect as indomethacin.
Secara tradisional bunga kecombrang telah digunakan untuk mengobati berbagai penyakit, di antaranya masuk angin, sakit telinga, pembersih darah, mengobati luka yang bernanah dan menghilangkan bau badan. Penyakit telinga, luka bernanah dan bau badan ada kemungkinan disebabkan oleh berbagai bakteri, sehingga ada kemungkinan bunga kecombrang yang telah digunakan secara tradisional untuk mengobati penyakit ini dikarenakan mempunyai aktivitas sebagai anti bakteri balk terhadap Gram positif maupun Gram negatif, sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian dengan tujuan untuk memastikan adanya aktivitas sebagai antibakteri. Penelitian ini meliputi pengumpulan bunga kecombrang, identifikasi tumbuhan, pembuatan simplisia, fitokimia, pembuatan ekstrak bunga kecombrang secara perkolasi dengan penyari etanol 96%, dan pengujian aktivitas antibakteri secara in vitro dengan metode difusi dengan cetak lubang (punch hole) pada medium Mueller Hinton Agar, clan digunakan Ampisilin sulfat 20 µg/ml sebagai kontrol terhadap bakteri Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli dan Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Skrining fitokimia menunjukkan adanya golongan senyawa yang sama yaitu alkaloid, flavonoida, steroida, glikosida dan minyak atsiri. Hasil uji aktivitas antibakteri ekstrak etanol bunga kecombrang yang sangat balk terhadap bakteri Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, dan kurang balk terhadap bakteri Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) belong to the family Vitaceae. The color of the fruit varies. There are red, green and purple. The color of this wine contains anthocyanin dyes that can be used as natural dyes to replace synthetic dyes, the colors they contain are pretty intensive, so the researchers aimed to make lipstick formulations using natural dyes from grape skins. The lipstick formulation consisted of Cera alba, lanolin, vaseline alba, cetyl alcohol, oleum ricini, carnauba wax, propylene glycol, titanium dioxide, oleum rosae, butylhydroxytoluene, tween 80, and nipagin, as well as the addition of grape skin extract with a concentration of 15 %, 20%, 25%, 30%, and 35%. Tests on the preparations made include inspection of homogeneity, melting point, lipstick strength, stability test against changes in shape, color, and odor during 30 days of storage at room temperature, smear test, pH examination, and irritation test preference test (Hedonic test). From the research results, grape skin extract can be formulated into lipstick preparations with pink to dark red colors. Lipstick preparations with grape skin extract as a dye are pretty stable, homogeneous, melting point 59°C, have good lipstick strength, pH ranges from 3.7 to 3.9 (close to the pH of the lip skin) are easy to apply with an even color, and do not irritate. Irritation the preparation preferred by 30 panelists was preparation with a concentration of 25%.
