Body scrub contains coarse grains that act as sandpaper (obrasiver). Seaweed salt residue can be a substitute for microbeads in body scrub. The production body scrub from the residue of Sargassum polycystum seaweed can be added with coffee dregs. This study aims the characteristics of the raw material and the effect of the addition of coffee dregs on the characteristics of a body scrub. The research contained three-stage, namely preparation of seaweed salt residue, coffee dregs, and production of the body scrub. The body scrub preparations were carried out by mixing the water phase and the oil phase. The addition of coffee dregs with a concentration (0; 1; 2; 3%) to the body scrub. The selected product was a body scrub with 7% Sargassum polycystum seaweed salt residue and 3% coffee dregs (S 7:3). The pH value of the selected product was 6.76 and the dispersion was 3.57 cm. The emulsion stability test showed that the cream was in a stable state. The antioxidant activity of the selected product using the 1.1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) method was 55.54 ppm and the Cupric Ion Reducing Antioxidant Capacity (CUPRAC) was 78.84 (μM/g). The results showed that body scrubs have good moisture for the skin.
