The antioxidant anti-microbial activity and potential application of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) leaf extract (OPLE) as a skin lightening and sunscreen agent in topical application were evaluated. Currently there are no evidence of skin lightening effect and protection against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of OPLE. OPLE contains 9.840.06 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of dry extract and shows antioxidant activity through 2 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay with IC of 2470.58 g ml-1. OPLE was effective only against 50 gram-positive bacteria and the minimum inhibitory concentration was 12.5 mg ml-1. OPLE also inhibited mushroom tyrosinase enzyme with IC 254.88 g ml-1. Determination of UV spectrophotometric and in 50 vitro sun protection factor (SPF) indicated that OPLE provides a protection against ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation. OPLE were mixed with glycerine at 1 5 and 10 concentrations and showed slightly increase in SPF values from 0.96 1.48 and 1.87 respectively. The UVA/UVB ratios were significantly increase from 0.076 for glycerine to 0.645 0.906 and 0.910 for OPLE at 1 5 and 10 in glycerine respectively. OPLE showed potentially good UV absorbance at UVB and UVA range wavelength and can be used as natural sunscreen and skin lightening agent for topical application.

Abstract

The antioxidant anti-microbial activity and potential application of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) leaf extract (OPLE) as a skin lightening and sunscreen agent in topical application were evaluated. Currently there are no evidence of skin lightening effect and protection against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of OPLE. OPLE contains 9.840.06 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of dry extract and shows antioxidant activity through 2 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay with IC of 2470.58 g ml-1. OPLE was effective only against 50 gram-positive bacteria and the minimum inhibitory concentration was 12.5 mg ml-1. OPLE also inhibited mushroom tyrosinase enzyme with IC 254.88 g ml-1. Determination of UV spectrophotometric and in 50 vitro sun protection factor (SPF) indicated that OPLE provides a protection against ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation. OPLE were mixed with glycerine at 1 5 and 10 concentrations and showed slightly increase in SPF values from 0.96 1.48 and 1.87 respectively. The UVA/UVB ratios were significantly increase from 0.076 for glycerine to 0.645 0.906 and 0.910 for OPLE at 1 5 and 10 in glycerine respectively. OPLE showed potentially good UV absorbance at UVB and UVA range wavelength and can be used as natural sunscreen and skin lightening agent for topical application.
