To meet the growing demand for natural skincare products, this study introduces a novel approach to address oxidative stress and inflammation by formulating and evaluating an antioxidant cream that utilizes white-oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) powder as the primary active ingredient. The primary objective of this research is to develop a skincare solution that is free from artificial fragrances and preservatives while harnessing the potential benefits of white-oyster mushrooms in enhancing skin health. Specifically, the study focuses on investigating the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of white-oyster mushrooms in skin care applications. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the active ingredient, the study includes an extensive analysis of its chemical composition, storage requirements, and microbial assay. Additionally, phytochemical testing is conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the white-oyster mushroom powder extract, using the DPPH method. The findings of this study contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of natural skincare solutions and provide valuable insights into the development of gentle yet effective antioxidant creams. By utilizing white-oyster mushrooms as the primary active ingredient, this research aims to meet the demand for natural skin care products that can effectively combat oxidative stress, promote skin health, and potentially alleviate conditions associated with erythema and inflammation.
