<![CDATA[Butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) is known to contain flavonoids and anthocyanins, which have potential antioxidant properties, while honey possesses humectant properties that can help maintain skin moisture. The research objective was to determine the formulation and physical evaluation of a lotion preparation combining butterfly pea flower extract and honey. This study was an experimental study involving the formulation of a lotion containing butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) extract and honey with three concentration variations: 6%:1% (F1), 8%:1.5% (F2), and 10%:2% (F3). The physical quality evaluation of the lotion formulations includes organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesiveness, viscosity, and hedonic tests. The results showed that all lotion formulations had a semi-solid consistency, were homogeneous, easy to apply, and possessed a characteristic fragrance. The pH values of all formulations were within the normal skin pH range of 4.0–8.0, indicating that they were safe for topical application. The results of the spreadability, adhesiveness, and viscosity tests demonstrated that all formulations meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) requirements for lotion preparations. In the hedonic test, Formula 2, containing 8% butterfly pea flower extract and 1.5% honey, showed the highest level of acceptance among the panelists based on the color, aroma, and texture parameters. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the combination of butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) extract and honey can be successfully formulated into a lotion that meets the required physical quality standards and has the potential to be used as a skin moisturizer.]]>
