Description:
Sericin as one of two main proteins in silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) cocoons was found to have the ability to increase skin moisture in cosmetics. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal formula of sericin nanoparticle lotion and the effectiveness of sericin nanoparticle lotion. The formation of sericin nanoparticles was mainly carried out by mixing and stirring mechanism using urea as a crosslinking agent. Temperature and stirring speed were fixed, while stirring duration were varied. Optimal sericin nanoparticles with the average particle size of 701 nm were obtained at 800 rpm stirring for 30 minutes at room temperature. Based on the results of the study, the new formula of sericin nanoparticle lotion with a concentration of 5% and 10% sericin nanoparticles was obtained which was able to significantly increase skin moisture
