Abstract
Traditional technologies applied for obtaining plant raw materials for cosmetic production are based primarily on high-level processing, which is reflected in the qualitative composition of the resulting materials. By using low-temperature drying, it is possible to retain in the raw materials a range of valuable ingredients. In this study, blue honeysuckle powder was used as an ingredient of cosmetic face masks. The stability of the masks was evaluated. Dynamic viscosity, yield point and texture analysis of the cosmetics was performed. The color of the emulsions and the level of skin hydration after face mask application was determined. Emulsions were found to be stable. A decrease in dynamic viscosity of the emulsions as a function of increasing concentrations of the additive and under the conditions of rising rotational speed were observed. Similarly, an increase in the concentration of blue honeysuckle in the emulsions resulted in a decrease in the value of the yield point. Based on the results, it can be stated that the addition of blue honeysuckle caused a decrease in hardness of the masks, while the opposite trend was observed for adhesive force. It was found that an increase in the concentration of blue honeysuckle gave a reddish-yellow color to the samples. Corneometric assessment confirmed proper skin hydration after the application of the emulsions.
Highlights
IntroductionThere is a broad range of cosmetics with natural raw materials available on the market, and products containing ingredients of plant origin have been enjoying considerable popularity
Skincare masks are a type of cosmetic that has been attracting a great deal of attention, mainly because of a high content of active ingredients
The aims of the study were to develop skincare face mask formulations containing blue honeysuckle in the form of powder obtained by an innovative method of low-temperature drying with simultaneous micronization, and to determine the effect of the concentration of this ingredient on the physicochemical and functional properties in cosmetic products of this type
Summary
There is a broad range of cosmetics with natural raw materials available on the market, and products containing ingredients of plant origin have been enjoying considerable popularity. Skincare masks are a type of cosmetic that has been attracting a great deal of attention, mainly because of a high content of active ingredients. Three division criteria are most commonly adopted: the physical form, the effects on the skin, and the type of skin for which masks are intended as a skin care product. Taking into consideration the form, the following mask types can be distinguished: solid, soft gel, foam, fibrous, thermo-modeling, soft powder, paraffin, and dual—with a consistency of gel and cream (manufactured in separate packaging and combined during application)
