Optimization Of Natural Body Scrub Formulation Based On Oilseed Press Cake Of Nyamplung (Calophyllum Inophyllum L) Using D-Optimal Mixture Experimental Design

UV light and air pollution are sources of free radicals that can trigger skin problems. Skin problems can be overcome by using skin treatments that contain antioxidant compounds so that oxidation reactions derived from free radicals can be inhibited (Halliwell and Gutteridge, 2000). Skin care that can overcome skin problems is body scrub preparation. Body scrub cream-based preparations consists of oil and water phase, emulgator, and abrasives. Oilseed press cake or residual product of nyamplung (tamanu) oil (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) has characteristics as an abrasiver and reported degree of hydrolysis that can counteract free radicals using the DPPH method through a % RSA value of 39.82%. Oilseed press cake of nyamplung will be developed as a raw material for the formulation of body scrub that have added value. Body scrub formulation was done by optimizing the emulgator material (stearic acid and triethanolamine) using Expert Design software D-Optimal and the optimal emulgator concentration was obtained (stearic acid 3% and triethanolamine 1%) and physical in stability of the optimum formulation is tested in 28 days in 1,2,3 and 4 week at room temperature by looking at the parameters of organoleptic physical properties, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and adhesion test. Based on physicaly examination, it showed that the formula of oilseed press cake of nyamplung body scrub for 28 days at room temperature is a semi-solid, brown color and smells of apple, pH value is 7,647 ± 0.128; the viscosity value is 3.633.33 ± 152.75 dPas; spreadability is 3,87 ± 0.20 cm, and adhesiveness is 2,3 ± 0,04 second.
