Formulation And Physical Testing Of Face Mist Extract Jujube Leaves (Ziziphus Mauritiana L.) As A Skin Moisturizer

Abstract

Jujube Leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) is a leaf widely used in various traditional medicines because it contains substances that are beneficial for the body. In addition to traditional medicine, jujube leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) are also useful for moisturizing the skin. Face mist has many benefits such as refreshing the face, helping to control oil on the face, and providing moisture to the skin so that facial makeup can last longer. The advantages of this face mist preparation are that it is easy to use and easy to carry everywhere. Purpose: This study was conducted to formulate bidara leaf extract into a preparation in the form of a face mist by carrying out several product analysis processes including organoleptic tests, pH tests and drying time tests so that we can determine the concentration of face mist preparations that meet the requirements. Method: In this study, bidara leaf simplicia was made by a drying process after which bidara leaf extract was made by maceration using 70% ethanol until a thick extract was obtained. The population and sample in this study were in Towuti District, Lioka Village, East Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi Province. Type of Research: used in this research is experimental research in the laboratory by making 3 formulas consisting of F1 with a concentration of bidara leaf extract of 0.5 g, F2 1 g, and F3 1.5 g. Research Results: obtained pH of face mist preparations F1, F2 6 and F3 7. And the drying time on F1 2 minutes 33 seconds, F2 2 minutes 8 seconds, and F3 2 minutes 17 seconds. Suggestions for further researchers are expected to add some product analysis tests on face mist preparations from bidara leaf extract.
