DETERMINATION OF SUN PROTECTION FACTOR FACEMIST SPRAY EXTRACT OF BETEL NUT (Areca catechu L.) WITH VEGETABLE GLYCERINE AS HUMECTANT
Abstract
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause dull, sunburned, and dry skin. To
prevent this, the use of facemist containing SPF is highly recommended for skin
protection. SPF facemist can protect the skin from both UV A and UV B. One of
the innovations in SPF facemist is the incorporation natural ingredients such as
betel nut (Areca catechu L.) which has many benefits for skin health. This study
aims to determine the important characteristics of facemist spray from betel nut
seed extract as a Sun Protection Factor, namely it can hydrate the skin, refresh the
skin and protect the skin from UV exposure. The research method uses an
experimental method to make a facemist preparation formula from betel nut extract
(Areca catechu L.) with variations in extract concentration. The extract is made with
variations in concentration F0; 0%, F1; 0.5%, F2; 1%, F3; 1.5%, and F4; 2%. Data
analysis was carried out by comparing the evaluation of the quality of the
preparation based on SNI 16-4399-1996, then the test results were continued with
analysis using the One Way Anova test. The results of the study showed the
characteristics of the betel nut extract facemist preparation (Areca catechu L.)
which is red, liquid, and smells of rose fragrance. The results of the pH evaluation
obtained were in the range of 6.85 - 5.31; spray spread test 5cm - 6.3cm; the dry
time test 1 minute 14 seconds - 2 minutes 26 seconds; and the SPF test had a value
range of 0.93 - 10.86. The results of the One Way Anova test showed a significant
value for the Sun Protection Factor test of <0.05, which means that the difference
in the concentration of betel nut seed extract (Areca catechu L.) affects the
characteristics of the betel nut extract SPF facemist preparation (Areca catechu L.)
with vegetable glycerin as a humectant.
