Abstract

This experimental research aims to:1) investigate the antioxidant activity of Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl. 2) develop the formula and production method of a prototype liquid soap containing Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl. extract, and 3) examine the chemical properties and stability of the liquid soap product. The antioxidant activity of extract was tested by the DPPH assay, yielding an IC50 value of 1.470±0.018 mg/ml. The prototype formulation consisted of eleven ingredients: distilled water, sodium laureth sulfate, glycerin, cabopol SF-1, myristic acid, cocamidopropyl betaine, lauric acid, palmitic acid, potassium hydroxide, microcare PHC, and Acanthus ebracteatus extract. The ananlysis of chemical properties revealed: 1) the total fatty matter content of 12.60%, 2) pH of 6, 3) no detectable free alkali, and 4) ethanol-insoluble matter of 0.380%. All measured values complied with the criteria specified in the Thai SMEs Standard S 14-2019. Stability testing over 0, 1, 15 and 30 days showed that the product maintained consistent physical characteristics including brown color at level 3, odorlessness, homogeneity, and absence of phase separation under both room temperature and refrigerated (4-8 ºC) storage conditions
