FORMULASI EMULGEL EKSTRAK ETANOL DAUN JAMBU BIJI (Psidium guajava Linn.) SEBAGAI ANTI ACNE CLEANSER

Abstract

ABSTRACT
 
 Acne is a major problem for teenagers, especially at puberty. Guava leaves (Psidium guajava Linn .) are
 plants that contain several secondary metabolites, including the tannins, triterpenoids, glycosides, and
 flavonoids, which have anti-acne activity. So far, acne reduction is still being done using synthetic cosmetics.
 However, synthetic cosmetics often irritate, so that herbal cosmetics are an alternative. Formulation of
 herbal cosmetics for acne need to do. This study aims to determine the best formula for anti-acne cleanser
 emulgel from the ethanol extract of guava leaves based on the physical evaluation. Guava leaf extract as
 obtained by the maceration method uses ethanol as a solvent, then an emulgel was prepared with an extract
 concentration of F1 (5%) and F2 (10%). Emulgel characteristics were determined by physical evaluation
 including organoleptic, pH, emulsion type, viscosity, spreadability, homogeneity, foam stability, power clean,
 and hedonism. The best formula was determined by the number of tests that meet the requirements and are
 liked by consumers. The results had shown F1 is the best formula based on physical evaluation.

Effect of Different Concentrations of Propylene Glycol and Glycerin on the Formulation of Guava Leaf (Psidium Guajava Linn.) Body Scrub with White Rice (Oryza sativa Linn.)

“…The body scrub preparation of ethanol extract of guava leaves includes observations on the organoleptic test, homogeneity test, spreadability test, pH test, and determination of the emulsion type of the preparation. [6]. Organoleptic tests are shown to obtain body scrub preparations that have attractive colors, odors that can be accepted by the user, and a form that is comfortable to use, considering that this preparation is a body scrub preparation so that the aesthetic value of the body scrub preparation must be properly considered.…”

Phytochemical Screening, Antioxidant and Antifungal Activity Test of Binahong Leaf Extract (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis)

“…Phytochemical tests can be carried out to determine the content of active compounds in plants. Plants generally contain active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins, steroids, tannins, and quinones [5], [6]. Saponins, steroids, alkaloids and flavonoids have a potential to function as antimicrobial, and many flavonoids also have antioxidative properties [6]- [12].…”
