Abstract

Ointments are semisolid topical preparations designed to prolong drug contact time on the skin surface and provide protective effects against irritation, infection, and wounds. The effectiveness of an ointment is strongly influenced by the selection of an appropriate base and formulation method. This review aims to analyze various types of ointment bases, formulation techniques, and active substances used in recent studies. A total of 40 published journals were examined using keywords such as “ointment formulation,” “ointment base,” and “ointment preparation methods.” The findings show that hydrocarbon bases are the most widely used due to their stability and strong occlusive properties. Absorption bases and water-soluble bases are also commonly applied depending on the physicochemical characteristics of the active ingredient and therapeutic goals. The most frequently used preparation methods are incorporation and fusion, selected based on the heat sensitivity of the active substances. Most active ingredients reviewed were herbal extracts containing antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. Overall, the compatibility between the ointment base, characteristics of the active compound, and the selected formulation method plays a crucial role in achieving stable, homogeneous, and effective preparations. This review highlights the high potential of natural-based ointments as safe and effective topical formulations. Keywords: Ointment, ointment base, ointment preparation method, ointment formulation, topical preparation, herbal extract.

Abstract

Ointments, semi-solid topical preparations, are increasingly being developed with natural ingredients for wound healing and antibacterial effects amidst the challenges of antibiotic resistance in Indonesia. This study reviews herbal ointment formulations based on extraction techniques, manufacturing methods, bases, physical quality, and biological effectiveness. Using a descriptive qualitative literature study with narrative synthesis from national journals (2020-2025). The population was all related articles; a purposive sample of 40 articles based on completeness and quality. Instruments were scientific documents; thematic and descriptive clustering analysis. The results showed that ethanol extraction produced flavonoids and tannins; the melting/trituration method with a hydrocarbon/PEG base met standards (pH 4.5-7, spreadability 5-7 cm, adhesiveness >4 seconds), with antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. In conclusion, herbal ointments have the potential to be safe phytopharmaceuticals, requiring clinical validation.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant nutritional problem in Indonesia, requiring practical and acceptable nutritional interventions. Moringa oleifera L. leaves are known to contain essential minerals such as zinc, iron, and iodine, which play an important role in supporting optimal growth. This study aimed to formulate effervescent tablets of Moringa leaf extract and evaluate their physical quality as an alternative nutritional supplement for stunting prevention. Moringa leaf extract was obtained through maceration and formulated into four effervescent tablet formulas with varying extract concentrations. The evaluations included granule flow properties, angle of repose, pH, size uniformity, weight uniformity, dispersion time, FTIR analysis, and hedonic testing. The results showed that all formulas met the physical quality requirements of effervescent tablets. The granules exhibited good flow characteristics with an angle of repose below 40°, while the tablet pH values ranged from 4,4 -5,8, indicating suitability for oral administration. All formulas complied with the standards for size and weight uniformity, and the dispersion time ranged from 1 to 2 minutes. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of hydroxyl, carbonyl, nitroso, and benzene functional groups associated with flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which contribute beneficial mineral content. Based on physical and organoleptic evaluations, Formula 2 showed the best combination of extract content and granule flow properties, while Formula 1 was the most preferred in terms of taste.
