propylenglycol hair tonic Syzygium aqueum flavonoids tannins wax apple leaf extract

TLDR Varying propylenglycol affects the pH, specific gravity, and viscosity of wax apple leaf hair tonic, meeting Indonesian standards.

The study investigates the impact of varying propylenglycol concentrations on the formulation and characteristics of a hair tonic made from wax apple (Syzygium aqueum) leaf extract, known for its beneficial compounds like flavonoids and tannins. Using an experimental laboratory method, the extract was formulated into three different hair tonic formulas. The results indicated that the hair tonic was clear yellow, exhibited good homogeneity, and had a pH range of 5.1-5.8, specific gravity of 0.925-0.957, and viscosity of 1.299-1.61 centipoise. Variations in propylenglycol led to increases in pH, specific gravity, and viscosity, aligning with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) requirements.
