Preparation and Whitening Effect of Tribulus Terrestris and Stemona Microemulsion Gel Mask
Objective The optimal formula of the microemulsion gel mask containing Tribulus terrestris and Stemona Stemona was screened,and the antioxidant activity and tyrosinase activity inhibition of extracts from Tribulus terrestris and Stemona Stemona were studied.Methods The optimal formulation of microemulsion was screened by constructing pseudo ternary phase diagram and orthogonal test.The quality of Chinese herbal masks was judged by the stability investigation and sensory evaluation.DPPH free radical and superoxide anion free radical scavenging experiments were used to investigate the antioxidant activity of Chinese herbal extracts in vitro,and the inhibitory effects of Chinese herbal extracts and Chinese herbal masks on tyrosinase activity were studied.Results The average particle size of microemulsion is 35.26 nm,PDI is 0.029,and its physicochemical properties are stable.The stability and perception of Chinese herbal masks are well evaluated.The scavenging ability of Chinese herbal extract for DPPH free radical and superoxide anion free radical is slightly weaker than that of vitamin C,and the antioxidant activity is good.Chinese herbal extracts and Chinese herbal masks have a good inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity,which is slightly weaker than vitamin C(P<0.05)and has a good whitening effect.Conclusion In this study,the best preparation formula of compound Chinese medicine microemulsion gel mask containing Tribulus terrestris and Stemona Stemona was determined.The prepared mask has moderate viscosity,easy application,good stability,good antioxidation and whitening effect.
