Abstract

This study aims to develop a solid soap formulation using natural ingredients by combining cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii) extract and Aloe vera peel extract, which are known for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and moisturizing properties. The research involved several stages, including the extraction of cinnamon and Aloe vera, soap formulation with varying cinnamon and Aloe vera extract concentrations, and testing of physicochemical properties and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. The formulated soaps were evaluated for moisture content, free alkali levels, pH, foam stability, antibacterial inhibition zones, and skin irritation. The results showed that increasing the concentrations of cinnamon and Aloe vera peel extracts significantly affected the soap’s characteristics. The optimal formulation was obtained with 15% cinnamon extract and 6% Aloe vera peel extract (A3B3), yielding a moisture content of 2.44%, free alkali content of 1.70%, pH of 11.8, and an antibacterial inhibition zone of 1.28 mm, without any skin irritation. FTIR analysis identified functional groups such as aldehydes, alkanes, aromatics, and hydroxyls, which were associated with the bioactive compounds responsible for antibacterial and moisturizing effects. The presence of cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon and saponins in Aloe vera contributed to the soap’s enhanced antimicrobial and skin-conditioning properties. Furthermore, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis identified key functional groups responsible for the soap’s bioactivity. These findings suggest that incorporating herbal extracts into soap formulations can improve their functional benefits, making them a promising alternative for natural skincare products with antibacterial protection and skin health benefits.

Abstract

This community service (PPM) program was conducted on Kabung Island, Karimunting Village, Sungai Raya Kepulauan District, Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan. The partners involved were community groups representing the northern, southern, western, and eastern parts of Kabung Island. The partners were vegetable and plantation crop farmers who experienced difficulties in controlling pests on their crops. This PPM activity aimed to provide partners with additional knowledge and skills in pest control using local natural resources. The program consisted of several stages: coordination, outreach, technical training, and activity evaluation. 100% of participants experienced increased knowledge and skills in making and applying pest traps. Furthermore, increased productivity and crop quality were observed several months after using the pest traps. Based on these results, it can be analyzed whether partner income will increase if the pest trap application is implemented sustainably in crop cultivation on Kabung Island.
