Abstract

In skincare, particularly facial serums, the utilization of natural ingredients is crucial in addressing various skin issues, notably combating the effects of free radicals that contribute to wrinkles. This study explores the potential of banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) stem extract as an active ingredient in serum formulation due to its rich anthocyanin content known for antioxidant properties. Hedonic testing and cost analysis serve as initial steps in the marketing mix of a product. This research aims to assess the hedonic preferences of various M. paradisiaca stem serum formulations and analyze the production costs. A descriptive research method employing survey and observational techniques was utilized for data collection and descriptive analysis. Hedonic testing was conducted to gauge the personal preferences of panelists toward M. paradisiaca stem serum formulations. Three formulations (F1 with 4%, F2 with 8%, and F3 with 12% M. paradisiaca extract) were evaluated by 40 panelists. Cost analysis of serum production employed quantitative descriptive analysis, computing the cost per unit using a variable costing method. The hedonic evaluation results showed that F1 formulation was highly preferred (79.3%), followed by F2 (73.2%), and F3 (66.8%). Cost analysis using the variable costing method revealed a total production cost of IDR 614,000.00 for 10 packages of M. paradisiaca stem serum formulation, translating to an approximate unit price of IDR 61,400.00.

Abstract

The use of traditional medicine in the modern era is gaining popularity, as it is often considered to have fewer side effects compared to modern medicine. Traditional remedies have been used for generations by communities as an alternative approach to maintaining health. This study aims to assess the level of community knowledge and to analyze the relationship between demographic factors (age, gender, education, occupation, and income) and knowledge regarding the use of traditional medicine. A descriptive-analytic design was employed, with data collected through door-to-door questionnaires. The study was conducted in Banjar X, Gianyar Regency, with a population of 619 households. A total of 87 respondents were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings revealed that the community’s level of knowledge was categorized as good (52.9%). Analysis of demographic factors and knowledge indicated associations between age (p = 0.079), income (p = 0.076), and education (p = 0.064) with knowledge of traditional medicine use. Thus, certain demographic characteristics—namely age, education, and income—were found to be significantly related to the level of community knowledge in using traditional medicine in Banjar X. These results highlight the important role of demographic factors in shaping public health literacy concerning traditional medicine.
