| Summary: | The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate herbal antioxidant hand
cream which is made by the ethyl acetate extract of Pithecellobium Jiringa
leaves. The antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate extract was determined by
DPPH free radical method and proved this plant contains higher antioxidant.
By creating a different type of formulations which is different concentrations
of stearic acid and cetyl alcohol. The evaluation of formulations has been
done by the analysis of different parameters such as stability, pH and others
physical properties. Among these cream, F4 showed good result in all
physical properties which are more stable when storing in considerable time
and free from irritancy. These cream were investigated for their antimicrobial
activity of different microorganism (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus
cereus Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumonia) and showed the positive
against all these microbes. The current study proved that the leaves of P.
jiringa have a biologically active compound for antimicrobial agent |
