Elaboracion de serums hidratantes a partir del filtrado del fermento de galactomyces y aceite de aguaje

Abstract

In the Ecuadorian cosmetic industry, there is no evidence of the use of fermented foods, as well as the use of essential oils from native plants, so the multiple benefits that these active ingredients can have in formulations such as serums are not taken advantage of. Therefore, this research project aimed to develop a moisturizing serum from the filtrate of galactomyces ferment and a facial serum from aguaje oil. The methodology implemented had a qualitative and quantitative approach; a quasi-experimental design was used since all the variables described were manipulated; the study population was the filtrate of the galactomyces ferment and the aguaje oil, in addition, bibliographic research and the use of various techniques, instruments, and materials to obtain data and results were paramount, some methods used were the Draves test, stability analysis and sensory analysis of the various samples. Using this methodology, it was possible to obtain a suitable formulation for the moisturizing serum, whose main active ingredient was the galactomyces ferment filtrate, and an appropriate formulation for the facial serum, whose main active ingredient was the aguaje oil. In this context, it concludes that it was feasible to use active ingredients from fermented foods, such as galactomyces ferment filtrate, and from native plants, such as aguaje oil, to formulate moisturizing and facial serums.
