Zodia is a typical plant from Papua that is traditionally used by the community to repel mosquitoes. The content of essential oils in zodia leaf is linalool and α-pinena which is able to repel mosquitoes. The aim of this study was to make a formula and physical evaluation of lotions from zodia leaf extracts. Lotion of Zodia leaf was formulated using the fusion method. Evaluation of lotion preparations includes organoleptic, pH, spreadability, stickiness, viscosity and protection. The results of the lotion evaluation from leaf extract obtained F I as a placebo that organoleptic white, odorless, semisolid, PH 7, homogeneous, does not appear red stains, spreadability 6.3 cm, stickiness 2.3 seconds, viscosity 6.67. F II has a light green organoleptic, characteristic odor, semisolid, PH 7, homogeneous, does not arise red stains, spreadability 7 cm, stickiness 1.5 seconds, Viscosity 5.3. FIII has a brownish green Organoleptic, distinctive odor, semisolid, PH 7, homogeneous, does not appear red stain, spreadability 5.9 cm, stickiness 1.2 seconds, viscosity 6.0. FIV has a brownish green organoleptic, distinctive odor, semisolid, PH 6, homogeneous, does not appear red stain, spreadability 5.2 cm, stickiness 1.3 seconds, viscosity 6.33. These four has qualified physical evaluations as lotions. The Result of repellency of lotion from Zodia leaf extract against Aedes aegypty at a concentration of 25% with a repellency 75%.
