Abstract

Background: As a tropical country, Indonesia experiences high levels of sunlight year-round, increasing the risk of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. Excessive UV exposure can cause various skin problems such as premature aging (photoaging), sunburn, hyperpigmentation, and even increased risk of skin cancer with long-term exposure. This underscores the importance of protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. Sunscreen is an effective form of protection against skin damage caused by UV radiation. However, most sunscreens on the market still use synthetic chemicals as UV filters. Several studies have reported that excessive use of chemical-based sunscreens can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and even impact the aquatic environment. This highlights the need for alternative natural sunscreens that are safer, more environmentally friendly, and still effective in protecting the skin. Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) is one natural ingredient with potential for development as a sunscreen. Kiwifruit is known to contain vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, and polyphenol compounds with antioxidant properties. These compounds can help ward off free radicals, protect skin tissue from UV radiation damage, and maintain skin health. Several studies have also shown that antioxidant-rich fruit extracts can enhance the activity of natural sunscreens. Methods: This study was an experimental study, formulating a sunscreen spray gel from kiwifruit extract with varying extract concentrations in formula I (10%), formula II (15%), and formula III (20%). This experimental study aimed to develop a sunscreen spray gel containing kiwifruit extract as a natural sunscreen product that has the potential to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation exposure. This research did not involve direct human testing, but instead focused on the extraction process, formulation, and physical evaluation of the preparation to assess the stability and quality characteristics of the developed product. Results: Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) extract could be formulated into a stable sunscreen spray gel preparation that met the requirements, with the most optimal extract concentration variation in formula II at 15%. The kiwifruit extract sunscreen spray gel met the stability requirements of physical tests, including homogeneity, pH, spreadability, viscosity, organoleptic (color, odor, clarity), and skin irritation tests during 28 days of storage at room temperature and after a cycling test. Conclusion: The kiwifruit extract was obtained through a maceration method using 70% ethanol as a solvent, chosen because it can extract both heat-stable and heat-stable active compounds. The sunscreen spray gel formula was created by varying the concentration of kiwifruit extract as the active ingredient in natural sunscreen. Product evaluation included various physical tests to ensure product stability, including homogeneity, pH, spreadability, viscosity, organoleptic, and skin irritation tests.

Abstract

Latar Belakang : Kulit kering merupakan masalah umum yang sering terjadi pada manusia. Untuk mengoptimalkan penggunaannya, maka perlu dibuat dalam bentuk sediaan krim. Daun pandan wangi (Pandanus amaryllifolius) diketahui berpotensi sebagai bahan aktif dalam sediaan topikal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memformulasikan dan mengevaluasi sediaan hand cream dari ekstrak daun pandan wangi dengan variasi konsentrasi VCO sebagai pelembab. Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental, ekstrak daun pandan wangi (Pandanus amaryllifolius) sebagai zat aktif diformulasikan menjadi sediaan hand cream dengan memvariasikan Virgin Coconut Oil sebagai pelembap. Konsentrasi zat aktif dalam setiap formula adalah 6% serta variasi konsentrasi Virgin Coconut Oil yang digunakan adalah 4% pada formula I, 5% pada formula II dam 6% pada formula III. Dilakukan evaluasi sediaan pada penyimpanan suhu kamar selama 28 hari dan uji dipercepat (cycling test) selama 12 hari ditinjau dari pH, viskositas, daya sebar, homogenitas, tipe emulsi, warna, bau, uji kelembapan dan uji iritasi kulit. Hasil : Hand cream ekstrak daun pandan wangi memenuhi persyaratan. Hasil pH, viskositas, daya sebar, homogenitas, tipe emulsi, warna, bau, uji kelembapan dan uji iritasi kulit menunjukkan sediaan yang stabil dan memenuhi persyaratan selama 28 hari pada suhu kamar dan 12 hari uji dipercepat (cycling test). Formula yang paling optimal adalah formula II. Kesimpulan : Ekstrak daun pandan wangi (Pandanus amaryllifolius) dapat diformulasikan menjadi sediaan hand cream yang stabil dan memenuhi persyaratan, formula yang paling optimal adalah formula II dengan konsentrasi Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) sebesar 5%

Abstract

Pregnancy and childbirth are a natural process; however, in the process, pregnant women and their families need to understand, one of which is about birth preparedness. The unpreparedness of pregnant women in facing childbirth is one of the factors causing the maternal mortality rate. The high maternal mortality rate indicates that maternal health is still low. Supporting efforts to improve the quality of maternal health service to reduce maternal mortality rate, the government is empowering families with a program for ownership and utilization of KIA books. The KIA book details for birth preparedness including estimated birth date, birth companion, place and assistant of delivery, savings and emergency cost for childbirth, vehicle preparation, blood donation, mother and baby equipment, important document, and plans to contraception method (KB). The result of the preliminary study showed that birth preparedness for pregnant women in the third trimester based on the KIA book is still low. The main aim of the study was to compare the description of birth preparedness for pregnant women in the third trimester based on the KIA book at Puskesmas Mentok, 2025. The type is research a quantitative descriptive observational design with a cross sectional study. The population consist of all pregnant women in the third trimester to visiting Puskesmas Mentok in March 2025 period, amounting to 50 respondents. Sampling was caried out using the total sampling technique. There are still around (8%) of pregnant women in the third trimester who are birth preparedness in a less than good approach. The risk of complicatons during pregnancy and childbirth is still high, one of which is when a pregnant woman experiences bleeding and requires special assistance in the form of a blood transfusion, but the pregnant woman does not yet have a candidate blood donation to prepare of emergencies.
