| Abstract:
The new forms of extracts for cosmetic manufacture were investigati ed. Studies on preparation and chemical composition of isopropyl myristate and propylene glycol extracts from inflorescences of Arnica montana L. and Calendula officinalis L. were made. The extracts were obtained by continuous extraction of inflorescences with solvent mentioned above. Isopropyl myristate extracts contain phenolic acids, sterols, carotenoids. Propylene glycol extracts contain sugars, carotenoids, flavonoids. Some of chemical components of essential oils were found in both extracts of those plants. Extracts have antimicrobial activity and can be used in cosmetics. | |
