<![CDATA[Clitoria ternatea L. or telang flower is widely used as a natural food coloring, herbal tea and also as an additional active ingredient in pharmacological products. C. ternatea contains antioxidants are good for protecting cells from free radicals, maintaining the immune system, anti-aging and good for skin health. The aim of this research was to determine the gel formulation of C. ternatea flower extract regarding its total flavonoid content. The formulation results have gone through physical quality tests and total flavonoid tests. Physical quality test parameters include organoleptic test, homogeneity test, pH test, spreadability test, hedonic test, moisture test, and irritation test. The high extract content will increase the flavonoid content in the gel formulation, and it also make the color of the preparation more intense (purplish blue), making it less preferred by users. Therefore, from the hedonic test results, it is known that is preferred by users is with a concentration of C. ternatea condensed extract of 1%. The last formulation showed that the total flavonoid content of C. ternatea gel formulation had a total flavonoid content of 63.21 ug/g using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. This flavonoid content indicates that the gel formulation contains antioxidants are good for skin health.]]>
