Antioxidative and Antimicrobial Activities of Rhodiola rosea Root as a Cosmetic Material

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Rhodiola rosea (R. rosea) root hot water extract as a cosmetic material.Methods: R. was extracted with used sample. Total polyphenol content, total flavonoid 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) were analyzed measure effects. Additionally, effect on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), skin-like fungus, measured using paper disk method.Results: The DPPH ABTS 57.88% 93.13%, respectively, at 1 mg/ mL. concentrations 375.30±4.63 μg/mL 497.82±19.55 μg/mL, respectively. method for S. showed clear zones concentration 0.01–10 mg/mL.Conclusion: effects confirmed, confirming its potential material.
