Abstract

Antioxidants prevent cellular deterioration by neutralizing free radicals, unstable oxygen molecules that damage skin cells and result in wrinkles. In the current study, natural sources of antioxidants were used to create face cream compositions. Grape seed extract and raspberry extract were used. Using DPPH, the radical scavenging activity of grape and raspberry seeds was investigated using regular ascorbic acid. Two formulations, BF1 and BF4, were optimized after six cream base formulations were created. Using 2% extract, six antioxidant cream compositions were created. Numerous evaluation tests were conducted, including those for pH, viscosity, grittiness, spread ability, skin irritation, and antibacterial activity. A week-long stability investigation was also carried out. The antioxidant activity of grape and raspberry seeds was quite good, with IC50 values of 0.072 and 0.033μg/ml, respectively. The face cream formulations all demonstrated good preservation action, with the active zone of inhibition falling between 9 and 12 mm. The study came to the conclusion that because natural sources are more readily available, non-toxic, and biocompatible, they make better excipients. According to stability and physical property testing, the product is effective at lowering free radicals (antioxidant action) and protecting the skin by creating a barrier.
