Color cosmetics containing natural dyes is more desirable for consumers preferring naturalistic and environment-friendly products than color cosmetics containing artificial dye. in this study, we assessed anti-oxidation potential, Anti-microbial activity of Curcuma longa L. and made color cosmtics containing Curcuma longa L. Then we evaluated safety and effectiveness to compare with color cosmetics containing artificial dye on the market. The results are as follows. The polyphenol content of 1% Curcuma longa L. were 3.99±1.53mg/g. The flavonoid contentof 1% Curcuma longa L. were 2.12±1.20mg/g. As Anti-microbial activity test results, the clear zone against Staplylococcus aureus was 7mm. The color value of the Curcuma longa L. product are L* 51.44, a* 20.02, b* 55.29 and control product are L* 81.36, a* 19.46, b* 75.21. Seen form H/V/C values, color properties of Curcuma longa L. products were darker and had lower saturation than the control product. Based on these findings, we thought that suggest a possibility in future for development of the color cosmetic containing natural pigment.
