Abstract

Fatigue due to excessive activity can be overcome with stimulants, but the use of synthetic stimulants carries the risk of side effects. This study aims to determine the stimulant activity of cocoa leaf infusion (Theobroma cacao L) and to determine the best dose that can increase central nervous system stimulation in white mice (Mus musculus). Synthetic stimulants often cause side effects, so natural alternatives are needed. This study tested the stimulant effect of cocoa leaf infusion (Theobroma cacao L.) on white mice (Mus musculus) using a rotarod test. Mice were divided into five groups: negative control (distilled water), positive control (caffeine 100 mg/kgBW), and infusion with doses of 50, 100, and 150 mg/kgBW. The results showed that all infusion doses significantly increased the survival time of mice compared to the negative control (p < 0.05). The dose of 150 mg/kgBW gave the effect closest to caffeine. Phytochemical tests showed the presence of alkaloids and flavonoids that are suspected to play a role in stimulant activity. Cocoa leaf infusion has the potential as a natural stimulant.

Abstract

The lips are sensitive and prone to dryness and chapping, requiring special care. This study aimed to develop a Lip Balm preparation that meets physical quality standards and to determine its activity as a lip moisturizer. It also determined the optimal concentration for a Lip Balm formulation using a combination of 70% ethanol extract of Aloe vera and avocado (Persea americana Mill.) pulp. Aloe vera contains lignin, and avocado contains vitamins A, C, and E, which are essential for skin health. This study was conducted experimentally using five formula variations: F0 (0%), F1 (10%), F2 (15%), F3 (20%), and a positive control (Vaseline Repairing Jelly). Physical quality evaluation included organoleptic testing, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, spreadability, moisture testing, irritation testing, hedonic testing, and stability testing. The results showed that all formulas had a semi-solid texture and color, varying depending on the extract concentration, were homogeneous, had a pH within the safe range (4.5-6.5), and met physical quality requirements. Moisture testing showed an increase in lip moisture levels after 14 days of use, with formula F3 providing the best moisturizing effect. In conclusion, the combination of Aloe vera and avocado (Persea americana Mill) extracts can be formulated into an effective Lip Balm as a natural lip moisturizer, with the best concentration in formula F3, with a moisture value of 47.3%.
