The leaves of Melastoma malabathricum L., Clidemia hirta (L.) D. Don and Melastoma malabathricum varr. alba were studied for their antioxidant and functional cosmeceuticals properties. The levels of total antioxidant activities were evaluated using multiple assay and the result shows the correlation and cluster analysis (CA) were found that different antioxidant assays significantly correlated at (P<0.05). The high total antioxidant assay can be seen mainly from the ethyl acetate and methanolic extract of three Melastoma species. The functional cosmetic properties such as sun protection factor (SPF), anti-tyrosinase (whitening activity) and anti-microbial test were noticed to be influenced by the more polar solvents. The simplex centroid mixture design was found to be the best tools and was successfully developed the optimal ratio composed of 30:40:30 mixtures. The leaves of Melastoma leaves species exhibited positive result for tannin/polyphenolic, flavonoids and also saponin.
