Abstract:
This study was aimed to develop a green colored concealer for covering the skin redness lesions. Sodium copper chlorophyllin, nature-derived green color from plant was used. Formulated concealer is in an anhydrous base with creamy texture, green color, smooth in texture, easy to spread with good skin adherence and coverage. The stability of the prepared formula was investigated by using heating and cooling cycles. The color measurement of product by colorimeter found that the color of concealer changed, which can be seen by naked eyes. For irritancy test, this concealer did not cause skin irritation in 20 volunteers. The color measurement on the redness skin before and after applied the formula green concealer could decrease the skin redness (p < 0.05). The preference test was done with 20 volunteers by comparing with the commercial green concealer. The result showed that volunteers had higher satisfaction rate with the formulated green concealer in term of covering and feeling and even after 8 h (p < 0.05). This suggested that formulated concealer had potential to be further utilized in cosmetic industry, in order to replace inorganic colorant.
