ABSTRACT
Moringa Oleifera L. also known as horse reddish tree and drum stick tree. Moringa oleifera (munga) plant belonging to the family “Moringaceae”. Various study has shown that Moringa seeds contain high oil content and many nutritional compound vitamin A, C, E including mono-unsaturated fats, proteins, sterols, and tocopherols which helps to nourish the skin. Moringa oil has an excellent skin penetration profile after application on skin, it absorbs easily and giving way to instant radiance.
There are various factor that causes skin damage and loss of elasticity .Staphylococcus epidermis is one of the bacteria that causes acne (pimples). UV lights (also called photo-aging) is the main cause of skin collagen loss accounting for up to 80-90% of the appearance of skin aging.
The purpose of this study to compare bacterio-static ability of the Moringa oil face wash against Staphylococcus epidermis and effect on skin elsticiy byimproving the collagen on face and antioxidant activity of moringa face wash, to formulate a moringa seed face wash in vivo.
A moringa oleifera face wash has been prepared The chemical component of moringa face wash (stearic acid, methyl parabean, KOH, polyethyelene glycol, liquid paraffin, sorbitol, propyl parabean sodium phosphate, SLS) were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography in further study.
The oil of moringa oleifera seed and ethanol was extracted via Clevenger apparatus. The stability study indicated that the PH, viscosity, homogeneity, foaming index and spreadability behavior of the face wash containing moringa seed oil were not significantly changed after storage at 2-4, 20-25, and 35-40 °C for 28 days as well as heating cooling cycle.
The moringa gel face wash exhibited in vitro antioxidant activity and increased the in vivo skin hydration level and maintain the face elasticity. There was no report of skin irritation and nausea, hyper and hypo pigmentation while using the face wash, the moringa face wash possessed antioxidant activity enhanced the skin hydration level, and reduced erythema, but did not affect the melanin content and also improve the skin visco-elasticity. This gel face wash did not induce skin irritation and thus it’s safe to use.
