Moringa oleifera L. Extracts as Bioactive Ingredients That Increase Safety of Body Wash Cosmetics

Abstract EN

The work attempts to obtain a multifunctional plant extract derived from Moringa tree leaves.

Obtained results indicate a strong antioxidant potential of the tested extracts.

It was shown that Moringa oleifera leaf extract is a rich source of flavonoid and phenolic compounds.

Furthermore, it shows a strong antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals.

In vitro toxicity studies showed that the tested extracts in concentrations up to 5% showed a positive effect on cell proliferation and metabolism and may contribute to the reduction of oxidative stress in cells.

It was noted that the tested model formulation of cosmetic (1% SCS) with the addition of different types of extracts might contribute to the reduction of skin irritation and improve the safety of the product.
