Formulation of Sunscreen Cream from Tengkawang Oil (Shorea Sumatrana)

Abstract

Tengkawang oil is obtained from the seeds of Shorea sumatrana with traditional extraction of press or press. Tengkawang oil which is produced is yellow and freezes at room temperature. Sunscreen cream is a cosmetic product that serves to protect the skin from sun exposure and maintain skin moisture. In order to add tengkawang oil in a sunscreen cream formulation, look for a stable concentration as a cream formulation for sunscreen products from tengkawang oil 5%, 10% and 15%, with a variation of days from 0 days, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days, 28 days. The results of the research on the formulation of making sunscreen cream from tengkawang oil were physical observation with white color with pH 5 and viscosity 56.5 at a concentration of 0% Tengkawang oil, light yellow + at tengkawang oil concentration 5%, 10%, 15% , light yellow ++ at 5%, 10% and 15% tengkawang oil concentration. Light yellow color +++ at 5%, 10% and 15% tengkawang oil concentration. With a distinctive odor, high viscosity at a concentration of 15% tengkawang oil on day 28 (120 dPas) and the lowest viscosity at 5% tengkawang oil concentration on day 28 (56 dPas) with a distinctive odor and pH 5.
