Formulation And Antioxidant Test Of Peel-Off Gel Face Mask Preparation From Plantain Peel Extract (Musa Paradisiaca L.) With The Dpph Method

Abstract

lantain peel (Musa paradisiaca L.) has the potential to be used as an active ingredient in peel-off gel mask preparations. The purpose of this study is to formulate a formula, evaluate physicochemical properties, and study the antioxidant activity of the gel mask preparation. This study uses a laboratory experimental approach, where plantain peel extract is obtained through the maceration method with a 96% ethanol solvent. The tests carried out include organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, dry time, and potential irritation. The peel-off gel mask formulation was developed in three variations of extract concentrations, namely F1 (5%), F2 (10%), and F3 (15%). The antioxidant activity test was carried out using the DPPH method by measuring the percentage of inhibition at concentrations of 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, and 80 ppm. The results of the study showed that peel-off gel mask preparations based on plantain peel extract met the criteria of organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, drying time, and were safe from potential irritation. In addition, the results of antioxidant activity tests at 5%, 10%, and 15% extract concentrations showed IC50 values of 115.22 ppm, 114.56 ppm, and 112.74 ppm, respectively, which were included in the category of moderate antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that plantain peel may be a potential active ingredient in skincare products that function as antioxidants.
