Medicinal plants are all types of plants that can be used as medicinal ingredients, either individually or in mixtures, which are believed to cure a disease or provide effects on health. The sensitive plant has potential for anti-inflammatory treatment due to its flavonoid content. This serves as the basis for the urgency of this study, namely testing parts of the plant to be used as medicinal ingredients in an emulgel preparation. The formulation of an emulgel preparation from ethanol extract of sensitive plant leaves is a series of processes for producing a medicinal preparation with the main ingredient being sensitive plant leaves (Mimosa pudica L.). The purpose of this study was to formulate an emulgel preparation from the ethanol extract of sensitive plant leaves (Mimosa pudica L.). The research method used in this study was a laboratory experimental method. The emulgel preparation was made with variations in the concentration of the gelling agent HPMC (3%, 5%, and 7%). Evaluation of the preparation included organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesiveness, and emulsion type. In conclusion, the ethanol extract of sensitive plant leaves (Mimosa pudica L.) can be formulated as an emulgel preparation.
