Peel-off Kefir Mask Arachi (Arachis hypogaea L.): Characterization and Antioxidant Activity

Abstract

This study aims to determine the best formulation for the peel-off mask Arachi or peanut (Arachis hypogaea L). Arachis hypogaea kefir as an active ingredient is added with variations in the concentration of F1 (0.5%) and F2 (2%) (w/v). Organoleptic tests, homogeneity, dry time, and pH were carried out on the peel-off mask that had been made. Antioxidant test (DPPH methods) was performed on masks F1 and F2. The results showed that the peel-off mask of A. hypogaea kefir had the best antioxidant activity at a concentration of 2% (F2) kefir with an IC50 value of 1.865 ppm and was very active. The characteristics of the peel-off mask have good physical stability, proven by not experiencing a change in color, odor, being homogeneous, having good dispersion power, and having a dry time ranging from 10-23 minutes. The pH value of the peel-off mask preparation is 4.52, and it is appropriate with SNI and the pH balance of normal human skin. The peel-off mask of A. hypogaea kefir can be produced because has good physical stability and antioxidant activity.

“…The pH test is one of the important parameters and could determine the difference in the pH value of each formula. The results of pH testing on the six formulas are in the range of 4,5-7,0 which is in accordance with Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) and the pH balance on normal human skin so it safe to use 17 . The result of pH testing can be seen in Table 4.…”
