Abstract
The aim of this study was to extract and examine biological activity of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) pod for the development of moisturizing product. In this study, the okra pod was extracted by water and ethanol at various concentrations with maceration and reflux. After that, crude extract was determined polysaccharide and total phenolic content, free radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation activities, formulated the emulsion-gel containing okra pod extract formulated for stability evaluation, determined skin irritation by patch-tested and moisturizing effect in women volunteers skin. The results showed that dry okra extracted using 50% ethanol by maceration process (MTD) gave % yield at 27.50 %, total polysaccharides at 5.58 ± 0.03 mg glucose/g, total phenolic compounds at 1.24 ± 0.01 mg GAE/g, SC50 value of 0.59 ± 0.07 mg/ml and IPC50 value of 0.02 ± 0.02 mg/ml. MTD extract was selected to formulate emulsion-gel products which showed high stability, no irritation and increasing the hydration of women volunteer skin for 90 minutes. Therefore, cosmetic products containing okra pod extract have the potential for development of skin moisturizer.
