Pengaruh Konsentrasi Residu Garam (Sargassum sp.) terhadap Karakteristik Body Scrub Berbahan Tambahan Ampas Teh Hitam | Effect of Seaweed Salt Residue (Sargassum sp.) Concentration on the Characteristics of a Body Scrub Made from Black Tea Dregs

Produk kecantikan ramah lingkungan mulai diminati konsumen karena keamanan produk dan dampak positif bagi lingkungan. Residu garam rumput laut Sargassum sp. dapat digunakan sebagai pengamplas kulit alami pengganti microbeads. Penambahan ampas teh dapat meningkatkan nilai fungsionalitas produk terhadap kesehatan kulit. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan karakteristik produk body scrub dari residu garam rumput laut Sargassum sp. dan ampas teh hitam. Body scrub diformulasikan residu garam Sargassum sp. konsentrasi 6%, 7% dan 8% dengan penambahan ampas teh 2% di semua perlakuan. Konsentrasi terbaik body scrub yaitu formula 1 atau penambahan residu garam Sargassum sp. 6%. Body scrub mengandung senyawa aktif alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, steroid, dan tanin. Formulasi terbaik body scrub yaitu nilai pH 6,9, viskositas 11.498 cp, daya sebar 3,25 cm, sediaan homogen, tipe emulsi minyak dalam air (m/a), stabil, meningkatkan kelembapan 9%, tidak mengiritasi kulit, nilai total fenol 5,17 mg GAE/g dan aktivitas antioksidan DPPH 51,98 ppm.

Consumers are beginning to be more interested in green beauty products because of the product's safety and positive impact on the environment. Salt residue from the seaweed Sargassum sp. can be used as a natural skin scrubber to replace microbeads. The addition of tea leaves can increase the functional value of the product for skin health. The aim of this research is to determine the properties of a body scrub made from seaweed Sargassum sp. and black tea dregs. The body scrub is formulated with Sargassum sp. salt residue at concentrations of 6%, 7% and 8% with the addition of 2% tea dregs in all treatments. The best concentration of body scrub is formula 1 with the addition of 6% Sargassum sp. salt residue. Body scrubs contain active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids and tannins. The best body scrub formulation has pH 6.9, viscosity 11,498 cp, spreadability 3.25 cm, homogeneous preparation, oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion type, stable, increases moisture 9%, does not irritate the skin, total phenolic value 5,17 mg GAE/g and DPPH antioxidant activity 51.98 ppm.
