Abstract

Kalakai (Stenochlaena palustris) is one of the diversity of Kalimantan typical plants that are often consumed as food but can also be used as medicinal plants. Ethanol Extract of Kalakai Root has been shown to have very strong antioxidants and has an SPF value of extreme ability level. Researchers want to examine a form of cosmetic emulgel which potentially as sunscreen. The purpose of this study is as a preliminary stage to see how the physical evaluation results (organoleptic, pH and dispersal power) of emulgel kalakai roots ethanol extract at 1% and 2% concentration. The results obtained for formula I (1%) and formula II (2%) of emulgel kalakai roots ethanol extract meet the organolepic test quality parameters, pH and spreadability test.

The photoprotective effectiveness of microemulsion gel made from an ethanol extract of kelakai root (Stenochlaena palustris (Brum. f) bedd.)

“…Re-maceration was carried out twice. The liquid extract was then concentrated using a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 60℃ until a thick extract was obtained (Paramawidhita et al, 2021).…”
