Product testing of recycled dried coconut leaf ash and olive oil for forehead makeup of Solo Putri style bride

Abstract

Pidih is a cosmetic used on Javanese bride’s foreheads called paes. Peel material that is commonly used is wax which is colored as desired and has easy sticking properties. The aim of this research is to provide an alternative use of natural ingredients for pidih that used on the bride’s forehead makeup. Experiment was conducted to obtain black powder made from recycled dried coconut leaves and olive oil with the appropriate composition and then applied as paes in the Solo Putri style bride. The use of cosmetics with natural ingredients such as the leaves of the ash of dried coconut leaves added with olive oil with a ratio of 5 grams: 4 mL can produce black, shiny, easily painted on the forehead, and rather oily. The use of cosmetics in this material can be used as an alternative for pidih that is made of wax. Alternative pidih from the ash of dried coconut leaves can be used as a substitute for conventional pidih.
