The current cosmetics industry offers product lines on the market that lead women to use cosmetics, which directly affect the skin due to the variety of chemical components used in their formulation. The main unwanted effects on the skin due to makeup are the appearance of acne, dermatitis, premature wrinkles, among others, generating deterioration of the skin. In view of this current problem, a liquid makeup base with Aloe Vera extract is offered that provides a series of benefits to the skin, including reducing the risk of damage due to the presence of harmful compounds. In the present research work, it was possible to verify that Aloe Vera extract contains 31.81 mg/100mL of polysaccharides expressed as glucose equivalent and antioxidant activity both in the pure extract (28,37% ± 2,74%) and in the 70% diluted extract (29,85% ± 2,91%). However, it did not present antioxidant activity in the finished product (makeup base with Aloe Vera extract).
