Evaluation of antioxidant and moisturizing effect of Euphrasia pectinata Tenore emulsion
A emulsion with antioxidant and moisturizing properties was prepared using Euphrasia pectinata Tenore as the main ingredient.Response surface optimization of the base formulation of the emulsion using three factors,stearic acid,carbomer-940,and glycerol,as independent variables,and the overall score of the emulsion as the response value showed that the optimal formulation of the Euphrasia pectinata Tenore emulsion base was 5.00%stearic acid,0.15%carbomer,and 4.00%glycerol(Fraction is mass fraction).Measurement of the prepared emulsion showed the emulsion exhibit good moisturizing,antioxidant and safety,and the physicochemical indexes of the emulsion,such as cold resistance,heat resistance,pH value,etc.,complies with Chinese national standard(GB/T 29665-2013,Skin Care Emulsion).Therefore,the emulsion can provide a reference for the application of Euphrasia pectinata Tenore in traditional Chinese medicine cosmetics.
