Aromaterapi Kombinasi Minyak Kulit Batang Kayu Manis (Cinnamomum burmanni Nees ex BI) dan Minyak Rimpang Jahe Merah (Zingiber officinale Roxb. var. Rubrum) (1:1) terhadap Peningkatan Libido Mencit (Mus Musculus)

Telah dilakukan penelitian terhadap kombinasi aromaterapi kayu manis (Cinnamomum burmanni Nees ex BI) dan jahe merah (Zingiber officinale Roxb. Var.Rubrum) dengan perbandingan 1:1 sebagai peningkat libido. Parameter uji yang diamati adalah pendekatan (Introduction), menunggang (Climbing), kawin (Coitus). Pengamatan dilakukan setiap hari selama 12 hari, dalam waktu 15 menit secara inhalasi dengan menggunakan alat LIBIDOMETER AROMATERAPI. Análisis statistik yang digunakan adalah t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances, untuk mengetahui signifikasi perbedaan efek karena faktor perlakuan dengan membandingkan rata-rata daerah dibawah kurva (DDK). Dari hasil analisis terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok uji, dimana libido kelompok uji lebih besar dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol. Dengan demikian, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa kombinasi aromaterapi kayu manis (Cinnamomum burmanni Nees ex BI) dan jahe merah (Zingiber officinale Roxb. Var.Rubrum) dengan perbandingan 1:1 dapat meningkatkan libido mencit jantan. Kata Kunci: aromaterapi, kayu manis, jahe merah, mencit jantan, libid

Uji Stabilitas Fisik Krim Bakuchiol Oil dan Krim Bakuchiol Encapsulated

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah evaluasi stabilitas fisik bakuchiol oil dan bakuchiol encapsulated pada suhu 250C selama 30 hari. Penelitian secara eksperimental. Uji yang diamati adalah organoleptis, homogenitas, tipe emulsi, daya sebar dan pH. Analisa data penelitian ini uji organoleptis secara deskriptif, pengukuran selain organoleptis dianalisis dengan statistik non parametrik, menggunakan software Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS). Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa secara organoleptis bakuchiol oil menunjukkan warna beige, bentuk krim, bau khas buah, homogen, tipe M/A, daya sebar 50g sebesar 5,9cm, daya sebar 250g sebesar 7,47 cm, pH sebesar 7,5. Hasil bakuchiol encapsulated secara organoleptis menunjukkan warna putih, bentuk krim, tidak berbau, dihasilkan homogen, tipe M/A, karakteristik fisik menunjukkan daya sebar 50 g sebesar 5,23cm, daya sebar 250g sebesar 6,97cm, pH sebesar 7,61. Hasil uji stabilitas menunjukkan bahwa formula bakuchiol oil dan bakuchiol encapsulated memiliki stabilitas krim yang baik

Comparative efficacy of bakuchiol oil and encapsulated bakuchiol cream on facial skin quality: A 28-day pilot study

Context: Along with the rapid growth of the beauty product industry, the community highly favors the use of plants as beauty ingredients and facial treatments. Bakuchiol, a lipid-soluble compound derived from Psoralea corylifolia is a gentle alternative to retinol in anti-aging skincare. To enhance its penetration into the skin, bakuchiol is formulated in liposomes through encapsulation technology. Aims: To compare the efficacy of 0.5% bakuchiol oil and encapsulated 0.5% bakuchiol cream formula on facial skin quality. Methods: The subjects consisted of 17 respondents, aged 25-45 years, with various skin types. Two creams, 0.5% bakuchiol oil cream and encapsulated 0.5% bakuchiol cream, were applied twice daily in the split face for 28 days. The study utilized the A-One Tab Skin Analyzer device to measure facial skin quality by scanning facial moisture, pores, sebum, and wrinkles levels on days 0, 14, and 28. Data obtained in the form of numerical values were analyzed using a comparative method employing both parametric and non-parametric methods with the aid of the SPSS software. Results: The study results indicated that both creams enhanced skin moisture, reduced pore size, and improved wrinkle scores. However, the encapsulated bakuchiol cream performed better in minimizing pore size, sebum levels, and wrinkle scores. Conclusions: The study findings imply that the use of encapsulated 0.5% bakuchiol cream formulation had a more pronounced effect on improving facial skin quality compared to the 0.5% bakuchiol oil cream formulation, signifying the superior efficacy of the former
