Abstract

The sun emits ultraviolet radiation and can produce free radicals. If these free radicals continue to come into contact with the skin excessively, they can damage cells and eventually cause cancer. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a substance that protects the skin from ultraviolet rays. The capacity of a product to shield the skin is indicated by its SPF rating. Soap is a type of formulation that individuals frequently utilize. Red betel leaf extract can protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals and is expected to increase the soap's ability to protect the skin from exposure to sunlight and maintain skin health. The methods include making transparent soap, testing physical quality, and determining the sun protection coefficient at various red betel leaf ethanol extract concentrations. The result is a transparent black-green soap with a pH of 9, a foam height of 57-65 mm, and a water content of <15%. At a concentration of ethanol extract of 0%, the SPF value is 3, and the SPF values are 7.5 (10%), 12.28 (30 and 50%), 18.2 (70%), and 25 (90%). From this information, it can be inferred that clear soap created with red betel leaf extract possesses excellent physical attributes and effectively protects against sun exposure.

Abstract

Background: Bidara leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) have long been used in traditional medicine due to their bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, tannins, and vitamin C. Fermenting bidara leaves into kombucha has the potential to enhance antioxidant activity through bioconversion processes carried out by starter microbes (Acetobacter xylinum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). However, scientific data regarding the vitamin C profile and antioxidant activity of bidara leaf kombucha remain limited. Objective: This study aims to analyze the vitamin C content and antioxidant activity of bidara leaf herbal kombucha, as well as to characterize the quality of the simplisia based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 4324:2014. Methods: This descriptive study involved: (1) preparation of bidara leaf simplisia, (2) 12-day kombucha fermentation, (3) phytochemical screening, (4) determination of vitamin C content using UV-Vis spectrophotometry (λ = 266 nm), and (5) antioxidant activity assay using the DPPH method (λ = 517 nm). Results: The bidara leaf simplisia met the SNI quality standards, with a moisture content of 5.33% and a total ash content of 6.73%. Phytochemical screening identified the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, glycosides, steroids/triterpenoids, and alkaloids. The vitamin C content of the kombucha was 0.009 mg/g, while the IC₅₀ value for antioxidant activity was 621.2158 µg/mL, which falls into the weak category. Conclusion: Bidara leaf kombucha contains bioactive compounds and vitamin C, with weak antioxidant activity. Fermentation increases antioxidant activity compared to non-fermented bidara tea infusion (IC₅₀ = 1129.0069 µg/mL), although it remains lower than that of pure vitamin C (IC₅₀ = 3.0710 µg/mL).

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition, particularly prevalent among adolescents and young adults. This condition is influenced by several factors, including excessive sebum production, abnormal keratinization, inflammation, and colonization of microorganisms such as Staphylococcus epidermidis within the pilosebaceous follicles. This study aims to develop a gel formulation containing butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) extract that meets the physical quality standards of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis. The research involved purposive sampling of butterfly pea flowers from Medan City, followed by extraction and phytochemical screening to identify secondary metabolites. Four gel formulations were prepared using carbopol as the base: F0 (without extract), F1 (0.1% extract), F2 (3% extract), and F3 (5% extract). The formulations were evaluated for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, viscosity, physical stability through cycling tests, and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis. Phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, triterpenoids, and glycosides, indicating the extract's potential antibacterial properties. The butterfly pea extract was successfully formulated into a gel that met acceptable quality standards using carbopol 940 as the gelling agent. Antibacterial tests demonstrated that the formulated gel exhibited inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis.
