Ganitri leaves (Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb.) contain flavonoid compounds that function as antioxidants. Antioxidants in cosmetics are used to prevent skin damage due to exposure to free radicals. Facial Wash is a cosmetic preparation to help remove dead skin cells, rejuvenate the skin, remove dirt, oil and provide moisture. This study aims to obtain a facial wash formula that has good characteristics and is effective as an antioxidant by varying the concentration of sodium lauryl sulfate, namely F1 (0.25%), F2 (0.5%) and F3 (1%) as surfactant. The results showed that variations in SLS concentration had a significant effect on the physical evaluation of the preparation with a p value of <0.05. Formula 3 (SLS 1%) provides the best facial wash characteristics with the results of the test parameters meeting the standards. The results of the antioxidant activity test showed that formula 3 had an IC50 value of 17.36 ppm which was categorized as very strong with ascorbic acid as a comparison of 10.70 ppm and a negative control of 54.11 ppm.
