Abstract

The study explores the strategic development of Mutiara Farma Pharmacy in Babelan District, Bekasi, through the integration of telepharmacy services. Health issues, including those related to lifestyle, diet, and environmental factors, pose challenges to public health in Indonesia, highlighting the importance of accessible healthcare services. Telepharmacy has emerged as an innovative solution, enhancing drug accessibility, cost efficiency, and patient satisfaction, particularly in underserved areas. This research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach, employing SWOT analysis, in-depth interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) to assess the impact of telepharmacy on service quality, patient engagement, and financial performance. Findings indicate that telepharmacy offers significant advantages, such as improved healthcare accessibility, increased operational efficiency, and higher customer reach. However, challenges remain, including the absence of in-person interaction, data security concerns, and technological dependencies. Despite these challenges, telepharmacy's potential to overcome geographical barriers and provide remote healthcare services offers valuable benefits for Mutiara Farma Pharmacy. The study concludes that telepharmacy can enhance the sustainability of pharmacy services by improving patient care, though further research is needed to explore its broader impact on customer relationships and community reputation.

Abstract

Cosmetics are preparations used on the outer layer of the human body to cleanse, perfume, beautify, and maintain the body in good condition. Free radicals are reactive oxygen species with unpaired electrons that are unstable and can cause cellular damage, leading to degenerative diseases. Antioxidants play an important role in preventing this damage by inhibiting oxidation processes and scavenging free radicals. This study aimed to develop a facial soap gel formulation using calamansi orange peel extract (Citrus microcarpa) as the active ingredient. The extract was obtained through maceration using 96% ethanol and concentrated with a rotary evaporator. The facial soap gel was formulated in three concentrations, namely 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, and its physical properties were evaluated through organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, foaming power, viscosity, spreadability, and hedonic tests. The findings indicate that the calamansi orange peel extract was successfully formulated into a facial soap gel that meets the physical evaluation requirements. Antioxidant activity testing using the DPPH method shows that Formula III exhibits the highest antioxidant activity with an inhibition percentage of 73.75% and an IC₅₀ value of 29.45 µg/mL. Formula III has the potential to be developed as a functional facial soap that not only cleanses but also provides protection against skin damage caused by free radicals.
