| dc.description.abstract | Background: Hydrosols are a byproduct of essential oil distillation, offer
characteristics suitable for cosmetic products. This study formulated a face mist
using lime peel hydrosol, leveraging its physical characteristics, such as color,
aroma, and texture, while also reducing agro-industrial waste. The results are
expected to highlight the potential of lime peel hydrosol as a functional ingredient
in face mist formulations.
Objective: The aim of this study was to formulate a face mist using lime peel
hydrosol as the main active ingredient and to evaluate the physical characteristics
of the resulting formulation.
Methods: In this study, three face mist formulations were developed using glycerin
at concentrations of 3%, 5%, and 7% as a humectant The formulations were
evaluated using physical stability tests, including organoleptic properties, pH,
viscosity, and dry time. Meanwhile, the sterility of the formulations was tested
using the Total Plate Count method.
Results: All formulations demonstrated good physical stability based on
organoleptic evaluation. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in
pH, dry time, and Total Plate Count (TPC) among the formulations. Moreover, the
TPC results complied with the BPOM acceptance criteria. Although viscosity
results showed statistically significant differences, all values remained within
acceptable limits. Additionally, variations in glycerin concentration did not affect
viscosity across all formulations.
Conclusions: The hydrosol obtained from lime peel distillation has the potential to
be utilized for face mist formulation. Over a 4-week stability test period, no
significant differences were observed in most parameters, except for viscosity.
However, the final results still met the required criteria for several key parameters,
supporting the potential of the face mist formulation. | en_US |
