BLOOMA: the transformation of traditional Kluwek (pangium edule) extract into eco-friendly and natural eyebrow cosmetics

This research aims to develop BLOOMA, a natural eyebrow colouring product based on kluwek (Pangium edule) fruit, as a safe, environmentally friendly, and local wisdom-based cosmetic solution. Kluwek is known to contain natural black pigments that have the potential to be used as colouring ingredients in the beauty industry, especially for eyebrow products. The process of making BLOOMA involves pigment extraction from kluwek seeds, formulation with natural additives to maintain colour stability and consistency, and direct application tests on the skin. The test results showed that BLOOMA produces a deep black colour that is long-lasting, easy to apply, non-irritating, and suitable for various skin types. Thus, BLOOMA shows great potential as a natural ingredient-based cosmetic innovation that is not only healthy and sustainable but also supports the optimal utilisation of local resources.
