Abstract

South Aceh is known as a producer of quality nutmeg oil, but the economic value received by farmers is relatively low because sales are dominated by raw materials. This community service aims to increase the added value of nutmeg oil through the innovation of aromatherapy roll-on products branded RefreshCare and improve the institutional capacity of the Subur Jaya Farmers Group in Pucok Krueng Village. The method used is Community Partnership Empowerment, including: (1) Identification and Socialization, (2) Technical Training and Workshops, (3) Production Assistance and Quality Testing, and (4) Implementation of Digital Marketing Strategies. The results of the activity showed significant improvements in production and management aspects. Partners successfully produced 500 units of RefreshCare prototypes with a standard formula (70% South Aceh nutmeg oil, 20% supporting essential oils, 10% carrier oil). Partners' technical skills increased from 40% to 85%. From an economic perspective, the digital marketing initiative succeeded in selling 200 units in the first month, contributing to a 25% increase in partner income from crude oil sales. This innovation creates new jobs and strengthens the image of South Aceh nutmeg as a downstream commodity with high sales value and competitiveness, while also becoming a model for micro-economic empowerment based on local potential.
