The study focused on the evaluation of the possibility of using a levan-rich digestate extract in the production of safe and functional body wash cosmetics. Model shower gels were designed and formulated on the basis of raw materials of natural origin. Prepared prototypes contained various extract concentrations (16.7; 33; 50%). A gel without extract was used as a reference. The samples were evaluated for their safety in use and functionality. The results showed that the use of high-concentration levan-rich digestate extract in a shower gel resulted in a significant reduction in the negative impact on the skin. For example, the zein value decreased by over 50% in relation to the preparation without the extract. An over 40% reduction in the emulsifying capacity of hydrophobic substances was also demonstrated, which reduces skin dryness after the washing process. However, the presence of the extract did not significantly affect the parameters related to functionality. Overall, it was indicated that levan-rich digestate extract can be successfully used as a valuable ingredient in natural cleansing cosmetics.
本研究聚焦于评估利用富含黎芦醇的消化残渣提取物生产安全且具有功能性的沐浴露化妆品的可能性。以天然来源的原料为基础，设计并配制了模型沐浴露。所制备的原型含有不同浓度的提取物（16.7%、33%、50%）。不含提取物的凝胶被用作参照。对样品的使用安全性和功能性进行了评估。结果表明，在沐浴露中使用高浓度富含黎芦醇的消化残渣提取物可显著降低对皮肤的负面影响。例如，与不含提取物的制剂相比，玉米醇溶蛋白值降低了 50%以上。还证明了疏水性物质的乳化能力降低了 40%以上，这减少了洗涤后皮肤的干燥。然而，提取物的存在并没有显著影响与功能相关的参数。总体而言，研究表明富含黎芦醇的消化残渣提取物可以成功地用作天然清洁化妆品的有价值成分。
