Formulation and Physical Evaluation of Body Lotion Preparation of Kacip Fatimah (labisia pumila) Ethanolic Extracts as Antioxcidant

Abstract

Kacip Fatimah (Labisia pumila) believed to have the antioxidant that played an important role in protecting against some diseases and delay the aging process. But, no research on kacip fatimah in his cosmetics formulation and efficacy to the skin. One form of cosmetic preparation is body lotion. Purpose: To determine the antioxidant activity of Kacip Fatimah ethanolic extract and to determine whether the concentration of Kacip Fatimah ethanolic extract affects the physical properties of the body lotion preparation. The body lotion is made in the form of an oil in water (m/a) and made in 4 formulas the concentration of the extract 0.5 %, 1%, and 2%. The physical test of body lotion extract of Labisia pumila is organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, the spread, and the attaching, the results of testing in analysis using SPSS with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-withney. The result showed that extract ethanol of Labisia pumila having strong antioxidant activity it is 87,752 ppm, and it can be concluded that variations concentration extract ethanol of Labisia pumila 0,5 %, 1%, 2 % affects the physical properties of body lotion. The greater concentration of extract, decrease the viscosity value with FI = 2863 cPs, FII = 1974 cPs, FIII = 1514 cPs, decrease the pH with FI = 6,72; FII = 6,37; FIII = 6,23, increase the spreadability with FI = 7 cm, FII = 7,93 cm, FIII = 8,03 cm, and decrease the attachability with FI = 1,33 sec, FII = 1,3 sec, and FIII = 1,01 sec.
