Development of Skincare Emulsion Products from Curcuma longa L. and Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. Extracts
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this research were to determine antioxidant activity of extracts of Curcuma longa L. and Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb., to examine curcuminoids complex content in the extracts of C. longa L. and to develop skincare emulsion products containing both extracts. The antioxidant activity of aqueous, 95% ethanol and acetonitrile extracts of C. longa L. and T. bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. was determined by using ABTS+ and DPPH methods. By using ABTS+ method, acetonitrile extract of C. longa L. and 95% ethanol extract of T. bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. exhibited the highest antioxidant properties with the IC50 of 0.269±0.018 and 0.104±0.004 mg/mL, respectively. By using DPPH method, acetonitrile extract of C. longa L. and aqueous extract of T. bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. exhibited the highest antioxidant properties with the IC50 of 1.951±0.013 and 0.337±0.0194 mg/mL, respectively. The study by high performance liquid chromatography revealed that the amounts of curcuminoids complex in aqueous, 95% ethanol and acetonitrile extracts of C. longa L. were 0.073±0.004, 305.60±0.05 and 330.60±0.45 mg/mL, respectively. The acetonitrile extract of C. longa L. and 95% ethanol extract of T. bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. were used to develop skincare emulsion products containing different type and amount of gelling agent. The most suitable formula with good emulsion characteristics and pH 6 contained 2% of Carbopol 940 as a gelling agent. This formula might be appropriate for usage as a skincare emulsion product for consumers who prefer using skincare products from natural extracts.
