Rosella flower is a plant with an antioxidant effect because it contains anthocyanins included in the flavonoid group. Therefore, it is essential to develop rosella flower extract in the form of soap preparations. This present work formulated and evaluated transparent solid soap preparations with 70% ethanol extract. This laboratory experimental research analyzed transparent solid soap preparations that were made of three formulas with different concentrations of active substances, namely FI (0.5%), FII (1%), FIII (2%). In addition, the evaluation of solid soap preparations involved organoleptic observations (smell, color, shape), pH test, foam height test, and irritation test on volunteers' skin. The results of quality inspection of organoleptic preparations indicated that the higher the concentration of the active substance in solid soap preparations, the less transparent the soap looks; the pH test produced 10.63-11.43; the initial foam height test resulted in 80 mm, and the final rest got 70 mm, 60 mm, and 50 mm; skin irritation tested to volunteers showed a negative reaction. The formulation in this study was formula 1, which produced the best transparent soap. It is concluded that FI, FII, and FIII soap with 70% ethanol extract of rosella flowers can be formulated as transparent solid soap.

Uji Standar Mutu Sabun padat transparan minyak atsiri sereh wangi ( Cymbopogon nardus L )

Transparent solid soap is a bar-shaped soap with a transparent appearance, resulting in a softer foam on the skin and appearance is more shiny than other types of soap. Soap quality standards are needed to determine the quality of soap. This research aims to find out the quality standards of soap formula whether it meets SNI standards. Quality standard tests from the study were taken from transparent soap formulations using the active substances of fragrant lemongrass essential oil on a VCO basis made by the watering method (Fx). Evaluation of the quality standards of transparent solid soaps of fragrant lemongrass essential oil (Cymbopogon nardus L) is a free alkaline test, pH test, water content test using a comparison soap containing essential oils circulating in the market (Fy). Quality standard test results on the Fx and Fy formulas are on the verge of pH 9-11 meeting SNI standards. While the results of fx and Fy formula testing on water content testing > 15% and alkali free > 0.1% so it does not meet SNI standards. So the transparent solid soap formula of fragrant lemongrass essential oil (Cymbopogon nardus L) has not met the required SNI standards.
