ABSTRACT

This paper reports the effects of glyceryl ether specifically mono-tert-butoxypropanediol on oil in water emulsion system. Based on 12 HLB value, screening for stable emulsions was carried out without the presence of glyceryl ether. A stable emulsion was used as a control. Then the effects of glyceryl ether on the emulsion system were investigated. The emulsions prepared were analyzed for stability, viscosity, pH value, particle size, in vitro dermal irritation potential, in vitro ocular irritation potential and also moisturizing property. The incorporation of glycerol in the emulsion system was also done for comparison. Emulsions with glyceryl ether showed lower viscosity values than emulsions with glycerol. Furthermore, the emulsions also exhibited moisturizing property compared to the control emulsion. Glyceryl ether is suitable to be used in cosmetic products which require reduced viscosity but retain its skin hydration property.

Keywords: Diol; emulsion; glyceryl ether

ABSTRAK

Kertas ini melaporkan kesan eter gliserol khususnya mono-tert-butoksipropanadiol terhadap sistem emulsi minyak dalam air. Berdasarkan nilai HLB 12, saringan untuk mendapatkan emulsi yang stabil telah dijalankan tanpa kehadiran eter gliserol. Emulsi yang stabil tersebut telah digunakan sebagai kawalan. Kemudian kesan eter gliserol pada sistem emulsi telah dikaji. Emulsi tersebut dianalisis untuk kestabilan, kelikatan, nilai pH, saiz zarah, potensi kerengsaan kulit in vitro, potensi kerengsaan okular in vitro dan sifat pelembapan. Penggunaan gliserol dalam sistem emulsi juga telah dilakukan untuk perbandingan. Emulsi yang mengandungi eter gliserol mempunyai nilai kelikatan yang lebih rendah daripada emulsi yang mengandungi gliserol. Emulsi tersebut juga mempamerkan sifat pelembapan berbanding kawalan. Eter gliserol sesuai untuk digunakan dalam produk kosmetik yang memerlukan kelikatan yang rendah tetapi masih mengekalkan ciri penghidratan kulit.

Kata kunci: Diol; emulsi; eter gliserol
