Abstract:
This research aims to develop dry hand washing product containing skin moisturizing
polysaccharide from mushroom and able to inhibit microorganism. The base gel and white jelly
mushroom gel containing 0.5 and 0.3% gelling agent, and 7, 10, 12, and 15% moisturizing agents
were stable. The 10% white jelly mushroom extract with 0.3% gelling agent formulation gained
the highest preference of 18.50 and caused none of skin irritation. The skin hydrating efficacy
was conducted in 20 volunteers using Moist Sense®. The white jelly mushroom gel significant
(p-value = 0.01) maintained moisturize better than the base gel at 150 min. Microorganism
inhibitory effect of these gels were comparable (p-value = 0.90).
