Abstract

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a natural ingredient with potential therapeutic properties for addressing various skin-related problems. The study aims to identify a suitable formulation for a facial toner extract that exhibits favourable physical properties as determined by organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, and hedonic testing. The present study employed an experimental approach to produce a 70% ethanol extract of cucumber fruit through the maceration method, utilising 70% ethanol solvent. Subsequently, the extract derived from the cucumber fruit developed four formulas to prepare face toners. The concentrations of these formulas were designated as F0 (0%), FI (0.5%), F2 (1%), F3 (1.5%), and F4 (utilising brand x toner as a positive control). The physical evaluation test yielded the fulfilment of the physical criteria for the toner, encompassing the organoleptic, homogeneous, pH, and hedonic tests. The IC50 values obtained from the antioxidant activity test conducted on face toner preparations containing cucumber fruit extract at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% were found to be 128 ppm, 91.017 ppm, and 62.218 ppm, respectively. The SPSS analysis reveals a significant difference in the IC50 value among the various formulas. Specifically, F3 exhibits a smaller IC50 value than the other formulas, indicating a stronger antioxidant activity. It is important to note that a smaller IC50 value indicates a stronger antioxidant activity. The study's findings suggest a positive correlation existing between the extract's concentration and its antioxidant activity, specifically, the extract denoted as F and administered at a concentration of 1.5%.

Abstract

The Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (Pimpinan Daerah Muhammadiyah or PDM) of Tangerang Regency is committed to improving the welfare of the community in its area. One concrete effort to achieve this goal is by organizing free blood pressure checks using digital blood pressure monitors. This activity aims to provide easily accessible healthcare services to the public and raise awareness about the importance of monitoring blood pressure for maintaining good health. In its implementation, this community service initiative involves experienced medical professionals who conduct blood pressure examinations for participants of the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership's (PDM) Tangerang Regency event. The examination results are directly communicated to the participants, and they receive information and education about blood pressure and the steps to maintain heart health. Overall, the health examination results, particularly body temperature checks, are very satisfactory, with 100% within the normal range. However, for blood pressure examinations, it was found that 25.37% of the participants had low blood pressure, 32.83% were in the normal range, and 41.84% had high blood pressure. With activities like this, it is hoped that participants can take the necessary preventive actions promptly. Furthermore, free blood pressure checks also serve to educate the community about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and regular health monitoring
