Mangosteen peel (Garcinia mangostana L.) and glutathione are known as a antioxidant agents. Topical use of antioxidants can reduce UV radiation which causes skin damage. This research aims to formulate the ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen peel with various concentrations as a body lotion that meets the physical evaluation requirement. Quantitative experimental methods were used and three formulas were made with variation in the concentration of the active substance of the ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen peel used. The result of the physical evaluation test of the three body lotion formulations with concentrations F1(5%), F2(7,5%), and F3(10%) are brownish orange, brown, and dark brown, have a chocolate aroma and have a semi-solid texture, homogeneous with an emulsion type (o/w), the pH of 6, spreadability ranges from 4-6,26 cm, adhesion ranges from 04.19-05.85 second. Formula F3(10%) don’t meet the spreadability evaluation.
