Determine application of caulerpa lentillifera in cosmetics

Abstract

In this study, Caulerpa Lentillifera was extracted to utilize as a plant material to determine their properties to apply as an organic cosmetic products, especially antioxidants activity. Three tests including the Folin-Ciocalteu method to evaluate TPC, the aluminum chloride colorimetric approach to determine TFC, and DPPH test were performed to prove and calculate the antioxidant capacity of Caulerpa Lentillifera. Its TPC, TFC, and DPPH scavenging capacity (IC50) were 6.75 ± 0.44 μg GAE/mg extract, 4.6 ± 0.32 μg QE/mg, and 27.3 mg/ml, respectively. The data showed the antioxidants activity of Caulerpa Lentillifera which can apply and develop in the future. Moreover, AOAC 992.06 method was carried out to determine the amount of vitamin A (Retinol) and the value of Beta Carotene which were 158 RE and 0.20 mg/ 100g, in turn. Lastly, their moisturizer was calculated with 94.9% by EVNR-RD-2-TP-3496 technique
