EFFECT OF CMC-Na CONCENTRATION VARIATION AS A THICKENING AGENT IN SHAMPOO FORMULATION CONTAINING GRAPESEED OIL (Vitis vinifera L.)

Abstract

Grapes are known to contain flavonoids and saponins which are chemical compounds that can trigger hair growth, so they can be formulated into shampoo preparations. CMC Na is a thickener that can be used as an excipient in the manufacture of shampoo. The purpose of this study was to determine variations in the concentration of CMC Na as a thickening agent in shampoo preparations. Grapeseed oil extract was prepared by maceration followed by solvent evaporation and formulated into shampoo preparations containing 10% grapeseed oil and then used as a 10% concentration shampoo formulation with differences in CMC Na as a thickener F1 (1%), F2 (3%), F3 (5%). Evaluation includes organoleptic, homogeneous, pH, viscosity, foam height and preference tests. The results of this study indicate that the higher the concentration of CMC Na as a thickener, the higher the viscosity value and formula 1 is obtained as the best result that meets the requirements of good physical quality.
