Unhealthy facial skin can be caused by several factors, one of which is exposure
to free radicals. A cosmetic product that can be used as a refresher and
moisturizer to keep the skin healthy is face mist because it is easy to apply to
facial skin. Chayote (sechium edule sw) has antioxidant activity such as
flavonoids, phenols and vitamin C so that it can help ward off free radicals. This
study aims to determine the best preparation and the results of the quality test of
face mist preparations from chayote (sechium edule sw) extract. The method used
is laboratory experimental with descriptive analysis obtained directly from the
object being studied. Face mist preparations were made with concentrations of
1.5 g F1, 2 g of F2 and 2.5 g of F3. Quality test of face mist preparation includes
organoleptic test, pH test, specific gravity test, spray spreadability test and
viscosity test. The organoleptic test results on F1, F2 and F3 had different colors,
fragrance and liquid form. The pH test of the three formulas has a value of 6, the
specific gravity test, the spray spreadability test and the viscosity test of the three
formulas are among the values of the requirements for a good face mist
preparation. The conclusion, the best formula for the face mist preparation from
chayote extract is the face mist preparation with the addition of 2,5 grams of
chayote ekstract formula and the results of the quality tests conducted for the
three formulas have a value that is between the face mist preparation value
requirements. Suggestions need to do further research related to irritation test to
find out that the preparations made are safe to use and preferred. |
