FORMULASI PATCH KOSMETIK LENDIR BEKICOT (Achatina fulica) DENGAN POLIMER KITOSAN DAN BERBAGAI VARIASI AMILUM
Abstract: The research on
cosmetic patch formulation containing snail slime with a variety starch was
aimed to determine the type of starch that could produce a patch preparation
with a good physical characteristic had been conducted. Cosmetic patch
formulation of snail slime was using combination of chitosan and starch
polymers such as corn, potato and tapioca starch. The method was used the
solvent evaporation technique. The evaluation of patches include weight
uniformity, folding endurance, thickness, moisture content, moisture uptake and
stability of the patch. The combination of chitosan and starch polymers
produced patches that had pH 5 with color uniformity, smoothness of surface and
easily removed from the mold. The results showed that patches containing
tapioca starch gave weight uniformity that did not much different on each
replication that was 0,568 ± 0,03. Patches containing corn starch provided
thickness values on each replication did not much different from 0,16± 0,01.
Patches containing potato and tapioca starch produced patches that was
accordance with the standard parameter of folding endurance was more than 200
times. Patches containing corn and tapioca starch producing patches accordance
with the standard parameter of moisture content were less than 10 %. Patches
containing potato starch gave patch a high moisture uptake that was 8,2%. The
combination of chitosan and tapioca strach as polymers produced patch
preparation with a good characteristic on the formulation of snail slime
cosmetic patch.
