The use of natural ingredients is intended to reduce costs and minimize the side effects of synthetic material. One of the natural ingredients that are developed are skin of choccolate or cocoa pod husk (Theobroma cacao L). Indonesia is the third largest producer of cocoa bean in the world. One of the residues produced after removal of the cocoa bean from the fruit is cocoa pod husk (CPH). Cleaning of denture, mechanically or chemically is the effort to prevent oral candidiasis and denture stomatitis. Denture cleaning agents with chemical solution is used to remove plaque formation, mucin, discoloration, food residue, tartar and bad breath. Cocoa skin extract 2% and 0.5% as a mouthwash can reduce the number of colonies of Streptococcus sp.
