Formulation Of Hand And Body Lotion Using Moringa Leaf Extract As An Antioksidant Using The Dpph (1,1-Diphenyl-2 Picrylhydrazyl)

Abstract

Hand and body lotion is a beauty care product that is used for the body and hands to maintain moisture. Moringa leaves (Moringa Oleifera Lam) contain many free radical inhibitor molecules and several other endogenous metabolites that are rich in antioxidant activity. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity in hand and body lotion formulations with varying concentrations of 70% ethanol extract of Moringa leaves (Moringa Oleifera Lam). The method of this research was the phytochemical testing of 70% ethanol extract of Moringa leaves (Moringa Oleifera Lam) and hand and body lotion formulations of 70% ethanol extract of Moringa leaves (Moringa Oleifera Lam) with four formulations of hand and body lotion, namely F0 (negative control) F1 ( 2%), F2 (3%), and F3 (4%). Furthermore, tests were carried out on hand and body lotion preparations including organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, viscosity and antioskidan activity tests. Based on the research results, 70% ethanol extract of Moringa leaves (Moringa Oleifera Lam) contains alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. In the homogeneity test, all formulas met the homogeneity requirements. All formulas produce the same pH, which is equal to 6, fulfilling the skin pH standard requirements. In the spreadability and adhesion tests, all formulas met the standard requirements of the stickiness test and spreadability test. In F2 with a concentration of 3% it produces a slightly decreased viscosity test. Meanwhile, the antioxidant activity test resulted in all formulas being in the weak antioxidant category.
