FORMULASI LIPCREAM EKSTRAK DAUN TEH HIJAU (Camelia Sinensis L)

Abstract

Green tea leaves contain high antioxidants and are suitable in case they are developed as a Lip Cream formula. Besides, the antioxidant content is expected to increase lipcream stability. The purpose of this study was to formulate the lipcream extract of green tea leaf (Camelia sinensis L) with the best stability. Green tea leaf extraction (Camelia sinensis L) was made by the maceration method using 70% ethanol solvent. Tea leaf extraction resulted in extract rendament of 12.36%, and the formulations were arranged in 3 formulas with the concentration of tea leaf extract of 5%, 10%, and 15%. Also, evaluation was carried out on all formulae, including stability, homogeneity, organoleptic, and hedonic tests. Evaluation results showed that all three formulas have excellent stability. However, the 5% formula is the most preferred in the hedonic analysis.

Keywords: Lipcream, Green Tea Leaf (Camelia sinensis L) Extract.
