Abstract
Skin aging is a dermatological problem in the elder stage and or late adulthood. The anti-aging formula was addressed to slow down the effects of aging. The peel-off gel face mask is one of the cosmetic preparations for anti-aging therapies. Moringa seed oil and lavender oil have anti-aging potential. In this study, a peel-off gel facial mask was prepared from Madura variant Moringa seed oil (MOSEIL) with a combination of lavender oil as an anti-aging skin cosmetic. Three formulations are formulated by 5% Moringa seed oil concentration, 7.5%, and 10%. Lavender oil is added as much as 2% to each recipe. Physical tests were carried out to determine the dosage formula with the best physical properties. The formulation results showed that the Madura variety Moringa seed oil with a combination of lavender oil could be formulated in a peel-off gel face mask. Based on the results of physical tests, formula 2 with 7.5% MOSEIL supplementation has the best chemical and biological properties. Therefore, additional tests, including an irritation test, anti-aging effectiveness test, and antibacterial test for this formula, are required to improve the quality of those products for this study.
