Facial cleanser made of Eleiodoxa conferta (Kelubi) extracts

The study is undertaken to formulate anti-acne facial cleanser made of Eleiodoxa conferta extract and determine the stability and safety of the formulation. Different percentage of water extract of Eleiodoxa conferta comprised of 2.5%, 3.5%, 4.5% and 5% were incorporated into the facial cleanser bas...

Different percentage of water extract of Eleiodoxa conferta comprised of 2.5%, 3.5%, 4.5% and 5% were incorporated into the facial cleanser base and in vitro antimicrobial well diffusion assay was performed on acne inducing bacteria, Propionibacterium acne, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylooccus epidermis.

Partial antimicrobial effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylooccus epidermis were observed with partially clear zone of inhibition ranging from 10.1 mm to 48.1 mm. 3% of Eleiodoxa conferta facial cleanser formulation was selected to proceed with stability and safety test considering of the efficacy and cost of production of the product.
