Pengaruh Variasi Konsentrasi Ekstrak Temugiring (Curcuma heyneana) dalam Sediaan Krim Terhadap Nilai SPF

Abstract

Temugiring (Curcuma heyneana) contains flavonoid and curcumin compounds that have the potential as sunscreen. Therefore, the extract concentration added in the cream formulation must be determined precisely since it may affect the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value. This research aims to determine the effect of concentration variations of temugiring extract on the SPF value of the temugiring extract cream. In this research, ethanol extract temugiring were obtained by maceration employing ethanol. Then, temugiring extract obtained was formulated in cream formulations with variations in the extract concentration 5%, 7.5%, and 10%. Furthermore, the SPF value was conducted using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. The results show that concentration variations of temugiring extract produced different SPF values for each cream formula. The SPF value for formulas 1, 2, and 3 was 3.307±0.11; 3.497±0.18; 4.966±0.24. Therefore, it can be concluded that the concentration variations of temugiring extract affect the SPF value and creams with concentrations of temugiring extract 5%; 7.5%; and 10% have the potential as sunscreens with minimal until moderate categories.
