Compact Eyeshadow Preparations from Chiken Egg Shell and Rosella Flower Petals Extract (Hibiscus Sabdariffa L) as Natural Colorants and Preservatieves

Introduction

Compact eyeshadow preparations from chiken egg shell and rosella flower petals extract (hibiscus sabdariffa l) as natural colorants and preservatieves. Discover innovative compact eyeshadow made from chicken eggshell powder & rosella flower extract. Get natural colorants, preservatives, antioxidants, and skin nourishment. Research shows good physical quality.

Abstract

Eyeshadow is used to give the eye dimension to look attractive, so the selection of eyeshadow materials needs to be considered to avoid side effects that can occur on the surface of the eyelids. Eyeshadow can be made from natural ingredients. One of the natural ingredients that can replace talcum chemicals is chicken eggshell powder because chicken eggshell powder contains a source of calcium that can nourish the skin. Rosella flower petal powder extract is also added as a natural colourant for manufacturing this compact eyeshadow powder. In addition to functioning as a colourant, Rosella flower petals contain anthocyanins and flavonoids, which have antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This study aims to determine the innovation process of chicken eggshell waste into Compact Powder Eyeshadow as decorative cosmetics by analyzing the feasibility of eyeshadow through organoleptic tests, pH tests, particle uniformity tests, specific gravity tests, and water content tests. This study's results show that formula III's physical quality with an extract concentration of 50% has good physical quality compared to other concentrations because the resulting colour is light. However, the colour resistance produced is the same as other formulas and does not last long.

Review

This manuscript presents an intriguing approach to developing compact eyeshadow preparations utilizing chicken eggshell waste and rosella flower petal extract (Hibiscus Sabdariffa L). The work is commendable for its focus on sustainable and natural ingredients, aiming to replace synthetic talc with calcium-rich eggshell powder and utilize rosella as a natural colorant with purported antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The study's objective to innovate chicken eggshell waste into decorative cosmetics by assessing their feasibility through a series of physical quality tests is both relevant and timely, addressing growing consumer demand for safer and eco-friendly cosmetic alternatives. The authors' initiative in exploring bio-waste for cosmetic application is a significant strength, particularly the dual-purpose use of rosella extract as a colorant and a source of beneficial compounds like anthocyanins and flavonoids. The methodology described, which includes organoleptic tests, pH tests, particle uniformity tests, specific gravity tests, and water content tests, demonstrates a foundational understanding of critical quality parameters for cosmetic formulations. The finding that Formula III, containing a 50% extract concentration, exhibited good physical quality, despite its light color, provides a valuable starting point for further optimization and highlights the potential of such natural formulations. While the initial physical characterization is a good first step, a significant limitation identified in the abstract is the issue of color resistance, noting that the color "does not last long." For a decorative cosmetic product like eyeshadow, color longevity is a critical performance indicator, and this aspect needs substantial improvement and further investigation. Future research should prioritize enhancing the stability and lasting power of the natural pigments, potentially exploring different extraction methods, pigment stabilization techniques (e.g., encapsulation), or the incorporation of natural fixatives. Additionally, expanding the scope to include comprehensive stability testing (e.g., accelerated stability, photostability), safety assessments (e.g., irritation tests), and efficacy testing to substantiate the claimed nourishing, antioxidant, and antibacterial benefits would significantly strengthen the scientific contribution and practical applicability of these innovative eyeshadow preparations.
