Whatever the results, the bacteria are quite inhibiting in the strong category," Anif told reporters at the UNS campus last weekend.Nyamplung oil or called tamanu oil at low concentrations shows UV absorption, is active as an antioxidant and is able to protect the skin from oxidative effects and DNA damage.Tamanu oil is able to produce SPF 6 and SPF 14 and is able to overcome acne infections so it is suitable for use as a cosmetic ingredient.Next, nyamplung oil is combined with spirulina.It is known, sprirulina contains several vitamins such as B, E and K, then folic acid, minerals, and so on.Spirulina has antioxidant, antiviral, immunomodulatory functions, is able to treat dyslipidemia, increases hemoglobin, leukocytes and platelets, and is able to stimulate stem cells in the bone marrow."Spirulina has a good effect for cosmetics. So you test the combination of the two in the laboratory, it turns out that the results with the addition of spirulina have an increased effect. So we made a product like this," said Anif.Anif stated that spirulina and tamanu oil are very appropriate to be used as skin care ingredients.Because, it does not cause irritation and has a high level of essential oil, so it is suitable for skin conditions.The research process lasted for two years until it became a product."In the future, we want to make a teenage version of Pico Oil that can be applied in the form of soap or facial wash," concluded Anif.Erik Ten Hag is considered to have similarities with Sir Alex FergusonManchester City Spend the Most Money on Agents Over the Last Year.Coach Still Hopes Raphinha To Stay At Leeds UnitedConversation with Joe Hart Evidence of Poor Pep Guardiola's Player ManagementGary Neville and Keane disagree about Premier League champions this seasonThere are 58 study programs provided by UNP at the 2022 SBMPTNPeople must continue to wear masks in mosquesBenzema and Mendy missed Madrid's defeat in the El Clasico duel.The Quranic generation is a great generation.Almost all Afghans experience acute food insecurity.Phone: 021 780 3747 Fax: 021 799 7903 Email: newsroom@rol.republika.co.id (Redaksi) sekretariat@republika.co.id (Redaksi) marketing@republika.co.id (Marketing)Copyright © 2018 Republika.co.id, All right reserved
