Abstract

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.) has antioxidant activity that can neutralize free radicals on the skin and also has sunscreen activity to protect the skin from UV exposure. This study highlights the benefits of the mugwort plant, which are currently unknown to the general public, requiring investigation into the formulation of its topical cream. This research aims to determine the stability of mugwort leaf extract cream and its SPF value. The extraction process uses the maceration method with 96% ethanol as the solvent. This study employed variations in mugwort leaf extract concentrations across formulas, starting from the control at 0% extract and increasing to 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. The organoleptic test results of the cream in the control formula showed a white color and green color in F1 to F4, with a characteristic smell and a semi-solid texture. The physical quality test for homogeneity indicates that all formulas are homogeneous. The pH test results of the formulation obtained values of 4,74-5,49, which meet the skin pH standard. The spreadability results obtained values of 6,15-6,38 cm. The cream's viscosity was in the range of 4,870-4,950 cPs. The hedonic test results showed that panelists preferred F1 with an extract concentration of 0.5%. The SPF test yielded scores ranging from 6,45 to 14,71. All formulations were able to preserve the physical quality stability of the preparations, according to the findings of the stability test conducted using the cycling test.

Abstract

Avemor (Aloe vera and Moringa oleifera) is a natural hair growth tonic manufactured with a combination of aloe vera gel and dried moringa leaf extract as its active ingredients. Aloe vera includes a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and C, amino acids, copper, inositol, and others. The extract from moringa leaves also includes tanins, vital amino acids, vitamin C, vitamin E, and other nutrients. One of the products with 2% minoxidil is employed as a positive control. Several hair diseases are treated off-label with the powerful arteriol vasoconstrictor minoxidil, which can also promote hair growth. In order to determine the effectiveness of Natural Hair Growth Tonic, tests were done on male New Zealand white rabbit hair. Avemor (Aloe vera and Moringa oleifera) is one of the products containing 2% minoxidil, with variations in the content of dried moringa leaf extracts of 2%, 4%, and 6% in comparison to the positive control. On the backs of five rabbits, six test regions were created, and each area received a different treatment every day using a sample volume of 0.5 ml. Results of the Natural Hair Growth Tonic's physical evaluation: Avemor (Aloe vera and Moringa oleifera) has a liquid shape, a distinct aroma, a pH of 6, and is homogeneous with the yellow-golden color of the formulae 1 and 2 as well as the golden brown in the formula 3. It also varies in the concentration of the dried moringa leaf extracts. Formula 4 (negative control) has the appearance of a liquid, is dazzling white in color, and emits a distinct odor. Additionally, formula 5 (positive control) has a liquid-like consistency, a vivid yellowish color, and a distinguishable scent. The average reserve viscosity for formula 1 was 2.96 ± 0.14 cPs, for formula 2 it was 2.99 ± 0.10 cPs, and for formula 3 it was 4.05 ± 0.07 cPs. Formula 4 (negative control) had a value 2.96 ± 0.10 cPs, and formula 5 (positive control) had a value of 1.82 ± 0.03 cPs. The average result of rabbit hair growth on the seventh day for treatment 1 is 0.22 ± 0.17 cm, treatment 2 is 0.30 ± 0.23 cm, treatment 3 is 0.42 ± 0.42 cm, treatment 4 is 0.58 ± 0.47 cm, treatment 5 is 0.68 ± 0.36 cm, and treatment 6 is 0.90 ± 0.42 cm. On the 14th day of treatment 1, the average result of rabbit hair growth was 0.43 ± 0.06 cm; on the same day, treatment 2, 0.27± 0.18 cm; on the same day, treatment 3, 0.42 ± 0.33 cm; on the same day, treatment 4, 0.77 ± 0.22 cm; on the same day, treatment 5, 0.28 ± 0.24 cm; and on the same day, treatment 6, 0.43 ± 0.38 cm. The average length of rabbit hair on the 21st day for treatment 1 was 0.43 ± 0.26 cm, for treatment 2 was 0.73 ± 0.19 cm, for treatment 3 was 0.32 ± 0.23 cm, for treatment 4 was 0.48 ± 0.31 cm, for treatment 5 was 0.13 ± 0.17 cm, and for treatment 6 was 0,43 ± 0.30 cm.

Abstract

Introduction:Household drug management, including proper knowledge, behavior, and storage practices, is essential for ensuring medication safety and preventing adverse drug events. Community-level self-medication practices without adequate understanding pose significant health risks. Objectives: This study aims to determine the level of knowledge, behavior, and drug storage practices among the community of Karan Kidul Village, Gayamdompo, Karanganyar, and to analyze their relationships with household drug use safety. Method: This was a non-experimental descriptive survey study using a cross-sectional approach. A total of 165 respondents were selected using the Slovin formula from a population of 280 residents. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires covering knowledge, behavior, and drug storage, and were analyzed using univariate and bivariate Chi-Square tests. Results: The majority of respondents demonstrated good knowledge (42.4%), good behavior (43.6%), and sufficient drug storage practices (51.5%). Safe drug use was reported in 85.5% of respondents. Chi-Square analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge, behavior, and drug storage with household drug use safety, with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05) for all three variables. Conclusion:  Improving community knowledge, appropriate drug use behavior, and proper drug storage practices may contribute to safer household medication management. Community education on rational drug use, Expired Date versus Beyond Use Date distinctions, and proper storage techniques is strongly recommended.
