UJI STABILITAS FISIK DAN AKTIVITAS KELEMBAPAN MASKER GEL PEEL OFF DARI LENDIR BEKICOT (Achatina fulica) DENGAN METODE REAL TIME STUDY
Abstract
Mask is a beauty product that is used to repair and treat facial skin. One of
the mask preparations is a peel off gel mask, the active ingredient of peel off gel
mask from snail mucus. Snail mucus (Achatina fulica) contains compounds such as
Allantonin which functions as a moisturizer and Glycosaminoglycan (GAG)
compounds that play an important role in maintaining connective tissue between
cells so that the skin is always firmer and healthier. In this study several tests were
conducted, including physical stability testing aimed at measuring the quality of the
peel off gel mask formulation with the real time study method.
This research is an experimental laboratory research design with real time
methods. Room temperature storage conditions between 15 ℃ - 30 ℃ for 12 weeks,
with a frequency of testing time 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks. The physical
stability test parameters of the preparations are in the form of: organoleptic, pH,
viscosity, spreadability, drying time, and humidity activity using a Skin Detector.
The conclusion resulting from this study is that the two peel off gel mask
formulations with snail mucus have good physical stability for 12 weeks of storage.
While the results of the test of the effectiveness of the softness carried out on both
formulas can be said to be good. This can be seen from the results of statistical tests
Paired Sample T-Test with a value of p <0.5 which states there are significant
changes before and after use during the 12-week test.
