Whitening and Hydrating Property of Cucumber Fruit Extract (Cucumis Sativus) as a Lightening Serum

Abstract Recent skincare trends focused on advanced technologies and innovative treatments. These included dermal fillers, new developments in botulinum toxin, anti-aging cosmeceuticals, and the use of AI for personalized skincare treatments. This shift towards advanced and efficient skincare solutions highlighted the growing demand for innovative approaches to skin health and beauty. The study investigated the whitening and hydrating properties of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) fruit extract as a natural skin-lightening serum. With increasing consumer preference for plant-based skincare alternatives, this research study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cucumber extract in improving skin tone and moisture retention. The study employed High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to analyze the phytochemical composition of the extract, focusing on secondary metabolites such as vitamin C, quercetin as flavonoids, and gallic acid as phenolic acid. Additionally, a bioassay using zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) was conducted to assess the extract’s toxicity, melanin reduction effects, and impact on trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Results indicated that cucumber extract significantly reduces melanin production over a 72-hour period while maintaining a non-toxic profile. Furthermore, the formulated serum demonstrates stability over three weeks, supporting its feasibility for cosmetic applications. These findings highlight cucumber extract’s potential as a safe, effective, and natural alternative to synthetic skin-lightening products, promoting its use in dermatological formulations.
