Abstract

Purpose: Dandruff is a scalp condition that affects approximately 50% of the global population and 26% of the population in Indonesia. This study aims to formulate and evaluate various formulations of liquid shampoo containing a combination of patchouli leaf extract (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) and coconut oil as an alternative natural-based anti-dandruff shampoo. Research Method: This study used a quantitative approach with an experimental design. The formulation consisted of a combination of patchouli leaf extract at concentrations of 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% and coconut oil at concentrations of 2%, 3%, and 4%. Quality evaluation was conducted through organoleptic testing, homogeneity testing, pH measurement, foam height measurement, viscosity measurement, and skin irritation testing on 15 respondents. Results and Discussion: All formulas (F0, F1, F2, F3) meet the physical quality criteria for shampoo. Organoleptic testing indicates that the formula has a thick liquid consistency, is homogeneous, and ranges in color from clear to dark green, with a green tea aroma. The average pH is within the safe range (6.75–5.31). Foam height and viscosity are within normal limits, and no respondents reported any irritation complaints. Implications: The formulation of liquid shampoo combining patchouli leaves and coconut oil can be a potential solution in the development of safe, natural-based anti-dandruff products. This study provides scientific contributions to the herbal cosmetics industry in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose: Aromatherapy is a non-pharmacological healing method that uses essential oils as therapeutic agents. Jasmine flowers (Jasminum sambac L.) contain active compounds such as linalool, benzyl acetate, methyl salicylate, cis-jasmone, nerolidol, and indole that have potential applications in stress management. This study aims to investigate the antistress efficacy of aromatherapy candles made from jasmine essential oil on mice (Mus musculus). Research Method: This study employed a laboratory experiment with a post-test-only control group design. A total of 25 male mice were divided into five groups, each consisting of five mice. The treatment groups were exposed to aromatherapy candles with essential oil concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6%, while the control groups included a negative control and a positive control. Stress induction was performed using the Tail Suspension Test (TST), and effectiveness was assessed through immobility time parameters. Data analysis was conducted using a One-Way ANOVA test. Results and Discussion: The results indicate that the wax formula with a concentration of 6% has the best physical characteristics and provides the fastest relaxation effect. The ANOVA test reveals a significant difference between groups (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of aromatherapy wax on stress reduction in mice. Implications: This study reinforces the potential of jasmine essential oil-based aromatherapy candles as an alternative therapy for stress management, while also supporting the development of safe and effective, naturally based health products.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between the level of anxiety in pregnant women and the incidence of baby blues syndrome during the postpartum period. The primary focus is to understand the psychological and physiological mechanisms underlying the transition from prenatal anxiety to postpartum emotional disorders. Research Method: This study employs a qualitative approach, incorporating a systematic literature review of scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The analysis was conducted on secondary data from national and international journals, considering the psychosocial, hormonal, and neurobiological frameworks related to anxiety in pregnant women and baby blues. Results and Discussion: Findings indicate that anxiety during pregnancy is significantly correlated with an increased risk of postpartum baby blues syndrome. Factors such as lack of social support, cultural pressure on the role of mothers, and hormonal fluctuations contribute to the occurrence of emotional disturbances after childbirth. This study also confirms that emotional unpreparedness during pregnancy is an important indicator of mental stability in mothers during the postpartum period. Implications: The results of this study suggest the need for anxiety screening in antenatal services, training for healthcare workers in the early detection of emotional disorders, and strengthening psychosocial interventions as preventive measures. These findings also encourage the development of more holistic maternal mental health policies.
