Introduction: Among the dyes from natural sources available in the market, the most common are those capable of giving the colors red, purple, orange and yellow, being the blue coloration relatively scarce. The Ravenala madagascariensis species, also known as the traveler’s tree, is a plant from Madagascar Island, South Africa, characterized by seeds covered by intense blue colored fibrous aryls. Objective: To describe a methodology capable of extracting and incorporating the blue dyes present in aryls in a stable dermocosmetic formulation. Material and methods: Screening with different extracting liquids was performed to obtain the extract of the arils. The cyclomethicone extract was incorporated into cosmetic preparations using the Polawax® and Cold cream bases. After evaluation of sensory aspects, the formulation prepared with Polawax was directed to accelerated stability evaluation (15 days) according to the protocol defined by ANVISA. Results: The best extraction process was obtained by the use of cyclomethicone, which is an excipient compatible with the preparation of cosmetic formulations. The product containing 1% of the cyclomethicone aryl extract, incorporated into the Polawax base, was evaluated in relation to the variables appearance, color (blue), odor, touch sensation and pH (5.5) and showed no changes in the stability test accelerated. Conclusion: With the methodology presented, it was possible to extract and prepare a stable dermocosmetic formulation with new blue dye proposal, applicable as an excipient for formulations.
