Nutrimori, Beauty Mask Made from Moringa Leaves by IPB University Students

Beauty is one of the important parts of humans, especially women. The use of cosmetics such as powder to masks is done to maintain beauty. Today, many beauty products are made from natural ingredients. One of them is Nutrimori products designed by IPB University students.

This Nutrimori product was designed by five IPB University students namely Nur Hidayah, Fida Nur Afitasari, Dwi Mega, Qisma Aunillah, and Jihan Eka. The Nutrimori product is a mask made from natural ingredients namely Moringa leaves. This product was initiated in the Entrepreneurship Student Creativity Program (PKM-K) with the title "Nutrimori: Increasing Value and Existence of Moringa Oleifera Leaves as Natural Skin Nutrition" under the guidance of IPB University lecturers, namely Juang Gema Kartika, SP, M.Sc .

"Making masks from Moringa leaves is inspired by our college friends who began to pay attention to skin health to facial beauty. From there we began to look for leaves that could be used for beauty products, but the utilization was not optimal. Therefore, we use this Moringa leaf for masks, "explained Nur Hidayah, Chair of the Nutrimori Team.

These Nutrimori masks are processed in a simple way, starting with the collection of natural ingredients such as Moringa leaves, turmeric, kencur, and cinnamon. Next, all the ingredients are washed and dried in an oven so that they can be processed into dry powder. Moringa leaf as the main ingredient in this mask has its own properties for the skin. These leaves contain vitamin E, vitamin C, thiol compounds, and antioxidants. This content can protect the skin from free radicals, moisturize the skin, and fight aging.

"We use 100 percent natural ingredients that combine Moringa leaves and spices. The use of the mask is also easy, which is made into a paste form and immediately applied to the face, "Nur added.

This Nutrimori product sells for Rp. 8,000 per pack which consists of several variants, namely the original kelor, a combination of turmeric, a combination of kencur moringa and a combination of cinnamon moringa. Marketing of this product has been done on social media such as Instagram, online, and direct sales.

"The hope is that this product can educate the public that Moringa leaves have many benefits, one of which is a face mask. In addition, this product is expected to encourage the public to reuse spices that are good for beauty care, "Nur concluded. (NR)
