Abstract

Baby hair lotion is a baby cosmetic preparation that has a function to make hair strong and thick. There are already many baby skin and hair care products sold in the market. Baby's skin is at high risk of skin damage due to allergies, extravasation, and infection because the skin is very delicate. Emollients or preparations that soften the skin must be free of fragrances, dyes or preservatives. Among specifications, a product must consist of at least 95% organic ingredients to be called "organic." For this reason, it is important to know what ingredients are contained in the products used on baby's skin. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of Almond oil, Aloe vera, and aquades on the final results of lotion preparations, and to determine the feasibility of lotion preparations in each variation carried out. Tests carried out on Baby Hair Lotion preparations are pH tests. Spreadability test, stickiness test, organoleptik test, and homogeneity. The variables used are independent variables, namely Almond oil content (36%, 30%, 25%, 15%, 12%), Aloe vera content (22%; 21.75%; 25%; 15%; 10.05%) , levels of Aquades (38.45%; 44.7%; 46.45%; 66.45%; 74.4%), for the dependent variable, namely levels of Cetearyl Alcohol (1%), Coriander seed oil (0.05% ), Lexgard Natural (0.5%), Plantasen (2%), while for the dependent variable the heating temperature is 60 -70oC.
