Abstract

Nowadays, modern society's activities are mostly carried out outside, so the harmful effects of changes in temperature, exposure to UV radiation, pollution and air humidity, namely a decrease or even loss of skin moisture, cannot be avoided. If untreated, reduced moisture in the skin will not only make the skin scaly, but will also cause irritation or injury to the skin. This research aimed to test the moisturizing effect of the best body lotion formula and also test irritation and hedonics. This test had received ethical approval and was carried out on the same panelists and the moisturizing effect of the preparation was measured using a skin moisture analyzer. The results obtained show that the formulation could increase the moisture of the panelists' skin by 56% and irritation testing showed no redness and swelling. So it can be concluded that the cinnamon extract body lotion formula had a moisturizing effect and not irritating so it was harmless to apply on the skin.

Abstract

The intertidal zone is a crucial habitat for various marine organisms, including Mollusca. Mollusca serve as bioindicators for assessing water quality. However, data on mollusc diversity in the coastal area of Bahowo Beach is still limited. Therefore, this study aimed to improve the knowledge of Mollusca diversity in this region. Molluscs were collected using 1×1 m plots placed randomly along vertical stratification. The samples were preserved in 70% alcohol and transported to the laboratory for identification using an identification guidebook. The assigned Mollusca were then analysed using Paleontological Statistics (PAST) software. The study recorded 79 individuals representing 41 species from two classes: Gastropoda and Bivalvia. The order Neogastropoda was the most dominant, with 22 species. The most abundant species was Littoraria scabra, with 16 individuals. The diversity index (H' = 3.209) falls into the high category, indicating that the Bahowo Beach ecosystem remains in good condition and continues to support mollusc life. Zona pasang surut merupakan habitat penting bagi berbagai biota laut, termasuk Mollusca. Mollusca berperan sebagai bioindikator untuk menilai kualitas lingkungan perairan tersebut. Data mengenai keanekaragaman Mollusca di wilayah pesisir Pantai Bahowo masih terbatas, sehingga dilakukanlah penelitian ini untuk menambah informasi mengenai keanekaragaman jenis Mollusca. Pengambilan Mollusca dilakukan dengan menggunakan plot 1×1 m secara acak, sampel yang diperoleh dimasukkan ke dalam plastik berisi alkohol 70% kemudian dibawa ke laboratorium untuk diidentifikasi menggunakan buku identifikasi. Mollusca yang telah diidentifikasi akan dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak Paleontological Statistics (PAST). Hasil Penelitian ini ditemukan 79 individu dari 41 spesies dari 2 kelas yaitu Gastropoda dan Bivalvia, dengan dominasi ordo Neogastropoda (22 spesies). Spesies terbanyak adalah Littoraria scabra (16 individu). Indeks keanekaragaman (H' = 3.209) menunjukkan kategori tinggi, yang menandakan ekosistem Pantai Bahowo masih dalam kondisi baik dan mendukung kehidupan Mollusca.
