Abstract

The rose plant has been used by different societies throughout human history for beauty and health purposes. Rosa damascena Mill., R. gallica L., and R. phoenicia Boiss belong to the Rosaceae family and are hybrid plants of different species. The study aims to develop an acne mask containing natural ingredients using the rose pulp of the Rosa damascena plant produced in the Isparta region and released into the environment as waste. The sample was prepared using the Milestone ETHOS ONE microwave unit. The sample included the addition of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide solution and the use of the wet digestion method and was analyzed using the pour plate method. The rose mask formulation consists of rose pulp, thermal water, clay, glycerin, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, preservative, EDTA, and sodium gluconate. The research led to a mask formulation that maintains absorption, moisturizing, and renewal properties. The two formulations that exhibited the fastest drying times were GP-AMF-10 and GP-AMF-8, with drying times of 10.21 and 10.40, respectively. Microbiological analysis of the resulting formulation product was conducted and it was determined to comply with microbiological limit values. After a comprehensive evaluation, it was found that the selected mask formulation demonstrated superior characteristics..
