Characteristics Of Face Mist With A Combination Formulation Treatment Of Pineapple Peel Extract (Ananas Comosus (L.) Merr) And Butterfly Pea (Clitoria Ternatea L.)

Abstract

Face mist is a skincare product in the form of a spray to hydrate and moisturize your face. Pineapple skin and butterfly pea flowers contain antioxidants that are beneficial for the skin. This research aims to know the effect of a combination formulation of pineapple peel extract and butterfly pea flower extract on the characteristics of face mist and to determine a combination formulation of pineapple peel extract (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr) and butterfly pea flower extract (Clitoria ternatea L.) which can produce a face mist with best characteristics. This research used a Completely Randomized Design with a combination treatment formulation of pineapple skin extract and butterfly pea flower which consisted of 4 combinations, namely: 0:0, 1.75:5.25, 3.5:3.5, and 5.25:1, 75, and the treatment was repeated four times. The resulting data was analyzed using variance and if the treatment affected the observed variables, it was continued with the least significant difference test. The results showed that the treatment had an effect on spray spreadability, viscosity, and drying time, but had no effect on pH or sensory properties (color, scent, and overall acceptability), and all face mists were homogeneous. A combination formulation of pineapple skin extract and butterfly pea flower extract (1.75:5.25) is the best treatment, with pH characteristics of 4.9±0.05, color 3.15±0.93 (ordinary-like), aroma 3.4±0.88 (ordinary-like), overall acceptability 3.6±0.75 (ordinary-like), spray spread power 7.7±0.08 cm, viscosity 0.016±0.0008 cm/s, and dry time of 3.18±0.54 minutes.
