Ketika berbicara tentang bahan alami untuk perawatan kulit, kebanyakan orang mungkin langsung teringat pada rosehip oil, jojoba, atau argan oil. Namun, ada satu inovasi baru yang mulai diperhitungkan di laboratorium-laboratorium kosmetik terkemuka: minyak sacha inchi. Tanaman yang telah digunakan Suku Inka selama ribuan tahun ini kini menjadi bahan penelitian intensif untuk aplikasi skincare modern.

Sacha Inchi (*Plukenetia volubilis*) shells are a natural material with the potential to serve as a scrubbing agent (exfoliant) in cosmetic formulations. This article discusses the chemical composition and physical characteristics of Sacha Inchi shells, the benefits of using them as a natural scrub, and their advantages over synthetic exfoliating agents. Supported by scientific data and examples of commercial applications, the document outlines the potential use of Sacha Inchi shells in products such as facial scrubs, body scrubs, exfoliating soaps, and face masks. Additionally, recommendations regarding usage percentages in various cosmetic formulations are provided (e.g., 1โ5% for facial scrubs, 3โ10% for body scrubs), based on industry practices and existing literature. The objective is to encourage the sustainable, value-added utilization of Sacha Inchi shell waste within the cosmetic industry. Prof. Dr. apt. Sriwidodo, M.Si. 8/6/20257 min read

when health and beauty meet science
Indonesia is a country with extraordinary natural resources, ranging from medicinal plants and plant oils to marine minerals and livestock-derived products such as honey and propolis. However, much of this potential has not yet been optimally processed into high-value products for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors. LabFarma-UP exists as a solution for downstream research development and the transformation of natural resources into industrial-quality pharmaceutical raw materials.
