Abstract

The use of cosmetics among adolescents has increased significantly alongside the rapid growth of the beauty industry. However, several critical issues, such as illegal cosmetics or the misuse of cosmetic products, raise great concern. Adolescents, a growing population with limited literacy regarding product safety, may pose higher health risks. This community service program aimed to improve high school students’ knowledge of safe cosmetic use through an experiential learning approach. The activity was conducted with 39 students (64% female, 36% male) from SMA Strada Santo Thomas Aquino in Tangerang. The research design is quasi-experimental using methods included a combination of lectures and a workshop on natural-based lip balm formulation. Participants' knowledge was assessed using a pre-test and post-test to evaluate changes before and after the educational intervention. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 78 on the pre-test to 97 on the post-test. Statistical analysis using a paired t-test demonstrated that this improvement was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The proportion of participants in the very good category increased substantially from 7.69% to 76.92%. In addition, the satisfaction survey indicated high participant satisfaction, with more than 70% rating the overall implementation of the program as very good, including the quality of educational delivery, topic relevance, practical applicability, and time allocation. In conclusion, the creative, natural-product-based educational program effectively improved cosmetic literacy among adolescents and achieved a high level of participant satisfaction. This approach may serve as an effective strategy for adolescences education.

Abstract

Community health problems related to inadequate nutritional intake and low consumption of functional foods remain significant challenges in rural areas of Aceh Province, Indonesia. Limited access to healthy probiotic products and the lack of practical entrepreneurial skills among teachers also contribute to low family health awareness and limited economic productivity. This community service program aimed to improve teachers’ knowledge and practical skills in producing household-scale yogurt as a healthy probiotic food while simultaneously promoting creative economic opportunities. The program was conducted at SD Negeri 2 Jeumpet, Aceh Besar, involving 12 active teachers as participants. The implementation method consisted of five stages: socialization and preparation, theoretical and practical training, technology application and production trials, business management mentoring, and sustainability monitoring. The program applied a participatory and hands-on approach using appropriate technology and simple household equipment. The results showed significant improvements in participants’ understanding of nutrition, probiotics, food sanitation, and yogurt production techniques. Participants successfully produced plain and fruit-flavored yogurt products using local ingredients and simple fermentation technology. In addition, the teachers demonstrated increased entrepreneurial motivation through product branding, simple financial management, and digital marketing practices. The program also produced several outputs, including a yogurt production module, educational presentation materials, posters, audio-visual documentation, and a scientific publication manuscript. Overall, the program contributed positively to improving family health awareness, practical life skills, and community-based creative economic development in the school environment.

Abstract

High school students' knowledge of cosmetics is generally limited to finished products, without understanding their composition, formulation processes, or safety aspects, which may increase the risk of improper product use. This community service activity aimed to enhance scientific literacy, cosmetic safety awareness, and formulation skills among high school students through an experiential learning-based solid perfume balm workshop, an approach not yet widely implemented in the Indonesian high school context. A pre-post design without a control group was employed with 21 Grade XI Science students (52.38% male; mean age 16.4 years) at SMA Katolik Ricci 1, Jakarta. The evaluation instrument consisted of 10 validated multiple-choice questions. Because the Shapiro-Wilk test confirmed non-normality of difference scores (W = 0.7774; p = 0.0003), the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used for hypothesis testing. Participant satisfaction was assessed with a seven-item Likert-scale questionnaire. The mean score increased from 77.62 (pretest) to 90.48 (posttest). The proportion of participants with high knowledge rose significantly from 61.90% to 95.24% (Z = −3.823; p < 0.001; effect size r = 0.83). All participants successfully produced their own perfume balm product. The mean satisfaction score was 4.74 out of 5.00. An experiential learning workshop integrating cosmetic safety, formulation skills, and science literacy proved effective for high school students. Recommended follow-up actions include control-group designs, larger samples, and long-term knowledge retention assessments.
