Formulation and Evaluation of Face Mist Preparations From Cucumber Extract (Cucumis sativus L.) to Prevent Dry Skin

Abstract

Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L.) is from the cucumber gourd tribe and contains vitamins such as vitamins A and C which can cure acne. Face mist is included in skin freshening cosmetics (freshner). The main function of a freshener is to freshen facial skin, remove residual oil from the skin that may still be there, as well as a mild disinfectant and at the same time it can help close the pores again. This research uses the maceration method with 96% ethanol solvent. The resulting extract is made into a face mist preparation, phytochemical screening and evaluation tests are carried out including organoleptic tests, pH meter tests, spray spreadability tests, spray condition tests, homogeneity tests, viscosity tests and dry time tests so that the concentration of a good face mist preparation can be determined. The research results showed that cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) powder and extract contained flavonoids, phenolics and saponins. The results of the formulation showed that formulation I with an extract weight of 1 gram produced a yellow color, pH 5.04, viscosity 1.95 cP. Formula II with an extract weight of 3 grams produces a light brown color, pH 4.83, viscosity 4.3 cP. Formulation III weighing 5 grams produces

brown color, pH 4.78, viscosity 6.5 cP. Formula IV with a weight of 7 grams produces a dark brown color, pH 4.71, viscosity 4.15 cP, the four formulas produce good evaluation tests for spray power, dry time, homogeneity and spray spreadability. The results of the evaluation test of the four formulations of Formula II were the best formula.
