Abstract

This research aims to develop an acne patch based on local material extracted from silk and mulberry and the implementation of quality tools. The development started with a consumer needs' survey about the acne patch product. Technical requirements were evaluated based on quality function deployment (QFD) technique phase 1 or house of quality (HoQ). The results show that the highest score of consumer requirements is standard, followed by acne pus absorption and acne bacteria inhibition property, respectively. After transforming the consumer requirements into technical requirements, it was found that the highest score of technical requirements is qualified to anti-acne bacteria test, followed by swelling and antioxidant property, respectively. According to QFD result, the product prototype was developed using local materials extract and then evaluated based on consumer satisfaction. The most consumer satisfying feature of the natural acne patch product was the acne treatment and no irritation properties. However, the consumer made suggestion on the strength and stickiness of the product for further improvement.

Highlights

  • The cosmetic industry is one industry that is growing and expanding continuously

  • The local material was tested for cytotoxicity by MTT reduction assay, which found that all of extraction and preparation of substrate were not toxic to cells

  • Silk extract was verified by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which confirmed the standard property of general silk extraction

Summary

Introduction

The cosmetic industry is one industry that is growing and expanding continuously Cosmeceuticals are another option for people who care for themselves, whether male and female consumers. Most cosmeceuticals are skin care and skin repair product They help increase radiance, add moisture, eliminate dullness and reduce wrinkles. If there is a natural acne patch product, there are no synthetic substances It may be another option for consumers who are interested in natural products. Principle of product design and development tools along with the house of quality technique were employed as tools to develop the acne patches from local materials, as well as to satisfy the consumer’s needs and be able to compete in the cosmeceutical market
