- Alternative Abstract
- The objective of this study was to develop a method for effectively dissolving titrated extracts of centella asiatica (TECA). TECA are known to be a wound-healing and wrinkle-reducing substance. However, TECA are insoluble, which makes them difficult to apply in cosmetics. Currently, polyol is commonly used as a solvent at high temperatures of 120 °C or more for dissolving ingredients to form a product. The main problems with such an approach is that a high temperature is required in the process and that the solvent must be heated directly, which means that there is a risk of fire. Moreover, there is a problem of re-precipitation over time. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to effectively dissolve TECA even at low temperatures of 80 °C or less by using the phase-inversion temperature (PIT) emulsification method. In order to select the optimal emulsifier and oil for the PIT emulsification method, 22 kinds of emulsifiers were used along with four kinds of oils (Mineral Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (MCT), Hexyl Laurate, and Squalane). The water phase was fixed at 10% of purified water and 10% of glycerin. The oil phase was fixed at 10% of surfactant and 10% of oil, and the purified water was fixed to 50% as cooling water. Through an optimization approach, MCT and PEG (20) decyltetradecyl ether were found to yield the best results. TECA 0.5% was added to the formulation for optimization, and a control group was dissolved in the same amount of butylene glycol instead of the surfactant (15%) along with oil (10%) and glycerin (10%). Both the control and the experimental groups were stored at 4, 25, 44, and 50 °C to perform stability tests. The experimental group was stable, whereas the control group was found to have precipitated.
