Abstract
The contents from Tamarind seed husk waste were extracted and used to produce skin cream in Nong Lom village, Dok Kamtai district, Phayao province. The Nong Lom housewives group uses local equipments to produce the cream in their factory; therefore, a low-cost and suitable extraction method should be applied. A suitable way in the process was hot water extraction at 60 oC. The water extract was mixed with the base cream to produce skin cream and tested for physical appearance and stability. The skin cream formulated by pharmacists (experimental cream) had a problem of color migration which was not found in the skin cream of Nong Lom’s factory (new development cream). The tyrosinase enzyme inhibitor activity of the experimental cream and the new development cream were studied. These results indicated that tamarind seed husk extract might be beneficially used in antioxidant and whitening skin cream. Finally, more than 80% of the consumers were satisfied with the new development cream. However, there is room for improvement of the color, odor and viscosity of the skin cream.
