FORMULASI MASKER GEL PEEL OFF DARI SARI BUAH DENGEN (Dillenia serrata)

Abstract

Dengen is a local fruit from North Morowali which comprises of various compounds such as tannins, saponins, and flavonoids. However, it possesses antioxidant activity that needs to be developed into a peel-off gel mask for maximum utility. This study, therefore, aims to make a peel-off gel mask formula from Dengen fruit extracts to determine its physical quality stability. The formulations were prepared with various concentrations of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in 10%, 12.5%, 15%. Physical quality testing was carried out before and after accelerating the storage conditions (freeze thaws), which includes the tests of organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, dispersal power, viscosity, and dry time. The research showed that Dengen fruit has the ability to be formulated into a peel-off gel mask with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) base 10%, 12.5%, 15%. Furthermore, the physical quality results show that all formulas fulfill the requirements, and 15% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has the best dry time.
