Production and Organoleptic Test of Body Sanitizer Nanogold, Nanosilver, and Eucalyptus Oil in the Pandemic Covid 19

Abstract

The body lotion is one of the cosmetic body care products used by the public, which has a moisturizing effect and is quickly absorbed by the skin. Researchers aim to produce and test organoleptic nanogold nanosilver body sanitizer and eucalyptus oil during the Covid-19 pandemic. Innovations in making hand body lotions currently need to be developed, one of which is by renewing body lotion into a body sanitizer during the Covid-19 pandemic as an antimicrobial and antiviral. The body sanitizer formulation used refers to the manufacture of body lotion in general with the addition of nanogold, nanosilver, and eucalyptus oil. The type of research used is experimental. The types of lotions compared are Body Lotion Basic (A) and Body Sanitizer Lotion Nanogold, Nanosilver, and Eucalyptus Oil (B) by organoleptic testing, including color, aroma, texture, and stickiness. The results showed that the organoleptic test of panelists acceptance of nanogold nanosilver body sanitizer and eucalyptus oil was better and more preferred than basic body lotion.
