Extraction and characterization of gallic acid derivatives from Pouteria campechiana for topical anti-ageing nanoemulsion

Nur Azzanizawaty Yahya, Roswanira Abdul Wahab

Abstract


In view of the adverse effects associated with the chemical route for producing cosmeceutical products and anti-ageing creams, an alternative naturally-sourced nanoformulated anti-ageing cream was suggested. In this study, the extracts of Pouteria campechiana (PC) pulp, high in polyphenols was extracted using ultrasonic-assisted extraction and anti-oxidant activities as well as characteristics of the PC crude extract were assessed. The PC pulp extract was subsequently formulated into oil-in-water based nanoemulsion using high speed homogenization. The physicochemical properties and stability of the PC nanoemulsion remained favorable for up to 45 days. For minimizing the negative impact of chemically formulated creams on the human skin, the PC extract nanoemulsion may prospectively be safer and suitable for the human skin.
