Abstract

This study explores the formulation of a natural deodorant gel containing green tea extract, aloe vera, and cucumber extract due to their antioxidant, antibacterial, and soothing properties respectively. Three formulations using varying concentrations of Carbopol 940 (0.5%, 1.5%, and 2%) were prepared. The formulations were assessed for physical parameters including pH, viscosity, spread ability, irritation, antimicrobial activity, and compared with a marketed product. Among the formulations, F2 demonstrated the most effective results in terms of antimicrobial activity and physical stability, suggesting its suitability as a natural deodorant alternative.

Introduction

Deodorant is a type of cosmetic product designed to eliminate unpleasant body odor and reduce sweat production by blocking underarm pores. The active ingredient in antiperspirants is usually Aluminium Chlorohydrate. This compound works by closing sweat gland pores, reducing sweat production. However, Aluminum Chlorohydrate is a chemical substance that can damage DNA and is suspected to cause breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease if overused.[1] To avoid the negative effects of deodorants, plant-based antiperspirants can be used. These natural alternatives work by inhibiting bacterial growth and blocking underarm pores. Based on the above explanation, we have formulated and evaluated deodorant gel containing Green tea extract, Aloe vera and cucumber extract.[1]

Deodorants:[2]

Deodorant is a substance applied to the body to prevent or mask body odor caused by bacterial breakdown of perspiration, for example in the armpits, groin, or feet. A subclass of deodorants, called antiperspirants, prevents sweating itself, typically by blocking sweat glands.

Ideal Properties of Deodorants.[2]

  • It should not be irritant to the skin.
  • It should not deteriorate clothing.
  • It should be safe and nontoxic.
  • Easy to use and adhere well on skin.

Types of Deodorants:

  1. Based on formulation approach:[3]
  • Stick Deodorants
  • Roll-On Deodorants
  • Spray Deodorants
  • Cream and Paste Deodorants Gel
  • Crystal Deodorants:
  1. By Function/Active Ingredient:[4]
  • Antibacterial Deodorants
  • Antiperspirants
  • Natural Deodorants

Merits of natural deodorant gel:[5]

  • Healthier for Skin: Natural deodorants avoid aluminum, parabens, and other chemicals, potentially reducing skin irritation and allergic reactions.
  • Better for the environment
  • Natural deodorants don't block pores
  • Natural ingredients, suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Use of natural scents and ingredients

Demerits of natural deodorant gel:[5]

  • May not provide strong odor control
  • Natural deodorant may require more frequent application
  • Even natural ingredients can cause skin irritation or allergic reaction
  • Not as effective for heavy perspiration.
  • Less effective sweat control

Uses of Deodorant Gel.[5-7]

  • Helps neutralize and prevent body odor by killing odor-causing bacteria.
  • Provides a cooling effect and keeps underarms feeling fresh throughout the day.
  • Long-lasting odor protection .
  • Gel deodorants dry quickly and don’t leave white residue on skin or clothes.
  • Some deodorant gels contain skin-conditioning ingredients like Aloevera to prevent irritation and provide soothing effect.
  • Acts as a light personal fragrance, keeping the underarms smelling fresh.

Mechanism of Antiperspirant/Deodorants[8-9]

The active ingredient penetrates the sweat and apocrine glands, and an insoluble hydroxide gel is formed in the sweat pores and thus physically block the release of secretory product by constricting the opening of sweat gland duct. Bathing and washing will remove antiperspirant gel. Deodorants work by killing the bacteria on your skin, and they also work as an anti- perspirant by reducing the amount of sweat. The active ingredients react with the electrolytes in your sweat to create a thick gel that effectively blocks the top of your sweat glands and contracts your sweat pores.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

NATURAL INGREDIENTS USED IN DEODORANT GEL

GREEN TEA[10-11]

Green tea, derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (family Theaceae), is also known as tea plant, tea shrub, tea tree, or Camellia thea. It is rich in chemical constituents such as polyphenols (30–40%)—especially catechins like epigallocatechin-3-gallate and the aflavins—along with caffeine (10–24%), tannins, amino acids like theanine, alkaloids, and various minerals. Green tea possesses several beneficial properties including antibacterial, antioxidant, and free radical scavenging effects. It helps neutralize body odor, prevent cancer, support cardiovascular health, and may aid in obesity prevention.

ALOEVERA[12-13]

Aloe vera, also known as Aloe, Musabbar, or Kumari, is obtained from the dried juice of various Aloe species like Aloe barbadensis and belongs to the family Asphodelaceae. Its key constituents include aloin isomers, barbaloin, β-barboloin, isobarbaloin, resin, and aloe-emodin. Aloe vera has antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. It is beneficial for skin burns, lightening scars, and has anti-hyperlipidemic activity.

CUCUMBER[14]

Cucumber, also known as Khira or Kakdi, comes from the fruits of Cucumis sativus of the Cucurbitaceae family. It contains flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, triterpenes, vitamins, minerals, and polysaccharides. Cucumber has soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, cooling, antifungal, and anti-diabetic effects, and helps lighten pigmentation and protect the liver.

METHOD

Method used for extraction of Green Tea:[15]

Soxhlet extraction: 100 g of defatted green tea powder was subjected to Soxhlet extraction using 200 mL of ethanol in an Erlenmeyer flask as solvent. The extraction process was carried out at a temperature ranging from 60-70ºC until the tea powder gets completely exhausted.

Method used to extract gel from Aloevera:[16]

The production process of aloe products involves crushing, grinding or pressing of the entire leaf of the Aloevera plant. Firstly wash the Aloevera leaves, then thorns are removed, slice the Aloevera leaf lengthwise from top to bottom. Use a spoon or a small knife to scoop out the translucent gel from the inside of the leaf After extracting the gel, place it into a blender or food processor. Blend the gel until it reaches a smooth, watery consistency. This will help break down the gel’s natural pulp and ensure an even texture, making it easier to apply to your skin.

Method used for cucumber extraction.[17]

Cucumber extract was obtained by macerating the crushed fruit in hydro-alcoholic mixture, then filtering and concentrating it on rotary evaporator. Extract so obtained is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C and A.

EXPERIMENTALWORK

Preparation of Deodorant gel:[1]

Prepare the tools and weigh all the ingredients. First, prepare the gel base by dissolving Carbopol 940 in distilled water (aquadest) at 70°C in a beaker glass, gradually adding the distilled water while stirring until evenly mixed and forming a gel mass. Continue stirring for 20 minutes using a stirrer. Once the gel mass has formed, add methyl paraben and propyl paraben, then stir until homogeneous. Dissolve citric acid and trisodium citrate in distilled water, then add this solution to the gel mixture. Stir until homogeneous. Allow the mixture to cool. Once the gel mass has cooled, weigh green tea extract, Aloe vera gel and cucumber extract, and add them to the mixture. Stir until homogeneous mixture is obtained. Transfer the mixture into containers, and conduct an evaluation of the final formulation.

Antibacterial screening by cup plate method:[19]

Nutrient agar plates were prepared aseptically to get a thickness of 5-6 mm. The plate were allowed to solidify and inverted to prevent the condensate falling on the agar surface. The plates were dried at 37°C before inoculation A definite volume of the microbial suspension (inoculums) was poured into the sterilized nutrient agar media (cooled at 40ºC) and mixed thoroughly. About 20 ml of this suspension was poured aseptically in the petri plates and kept till the solidification. The surface of agar plates was pierced using a sterile cork borer. The prepared wells were filled with equal volume of solution of Prepared Deodorant gel separately. After a period of pre-incubation diffusion, the plates were incubated face up for a definite time under specified conditions. The zones of inhibition were measured as a parameter of antimicrobial properties of prepared Deodorant gel.

Evaluation of Deodorant Gel

    1. Color: The color of prepared deodorant gel was assessed and observed visually.[20]
    2. Odor: Odor of prepared deodorant gel was assessed by spreading it on the palm and evaluating it's Odor.[20]
    3. State: State of prepared deodorant gel was observed visually.[20]
    4. Texture: The texture of prepared deodorant gel was assessed by rubbing it between the thumb and index finger.[21]
    5. Homogeneity: Every gel that had developed was checked for homogeneity after it had been put inside the container and visually inspected for appearance and the presence of aggregates.[21]
    6. pH: A digital pH meter was used to measure the pH of several gel formulations. Two hours were spent storing 2.5g of meticulously weighed gel that had been diluted in twenty-five ml of distilled water. The average values of the triplicate pH measurements are shown for each formulation.[22]
    7. Viscosity: Using a Brook field rotational viscometer with spindle number94, the viscosity of the Deodorant gel was measured at 2rpm. Following the sample's two-minute equilibrium, each reading was obtained.[23]
    8. Irritation: A small patch of skin is usually used to test a gel's irritation by applying it there and keeping an eye out for any negative side effects, like redness, itching, or inflammation.[24]
    9. Spreadability: The slip and drag characteristics of the gels were used in this method to calculate spreadability. On this ground slide, an excess of gel was being investigated. Subsequently, the gel was positioned between this glass slide and another with a hook that was the same size as a fixed ground slide. To create an even layer of gel between the slides and release any trapped air, a one kg weight was placed on top of each slide for five minutes. Removed the excess gel by scraping it off the edges. After that, a fifty- gram pull was applied to the top plate. Time how long (in seconds) it takes for the top slide to move 6.5 cm by using a piece of string that is fastened to the hook.[25] The following formula, spreadability was determined using below formula: S= M × L/ T,

Where, S= Spreadability

M=Pan weight (connected to the upper slide),

L = length that the glass slide moved

T=the amount of time required to fully separate each slide

    1. Antimicrobial Studies: Agar well diffusion method is widely used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of plants or microbial extracts. The agar plate surface is inoculated by spreading a volume of the microbial inoculums over the entire agar surface. A hole with a diameter of 6 to 8 mm is punched aseptically with a sterile cork borer or a tip, and a volume for desired concentration is introduced into the well. Then, agar plates are incubated under suitable conditions depending upon the test microorganism. The antimicrobial agent diffuses in the agar medium and inhibits the growth of the microbial strain. [26-27]
    2. Lasting Time : Note down the time after applying the Deodorant gel on skin and observed for how much duration it show odor protection.[28]
    1. Extrudability: Extrudability refers to its ease of being expelled from a container (such as tube) under applied pressure. Fill the gel in collapsible tube; apply a uniform pressure at the crimped end of tube. Observe how easily the gel is extrude.[28]
