Formulation of Clay mask form Etanol Extract of Kokang Leaves Lepisanthes amoena (Hassk) Leenh

Abstract

Lepisanthes amoena (Hassk) Leenh kokang leaves typical Kalimantan plant which is widely used traditional cosmetic among  Dayak people. Clay masks beauty product in the form  paste preparation with a wash-off type facial mask that uses clay base. This research was carried to making clay mask formulation from the ethanol extract of Lepisanthes amoena (Hassk) Leenh leaves and knowing the results physical evaluation clay mask preparation ethanol extract of Lepisanthes amoena (Hassk) Leenh leaves. Ethanol extract of  kokang leaves meseration using 96% ethanol solvent. Clay mask preparations are made in three different extract concentrations. Physical evaluations carried organoleptics, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, dry time and viscosity. The results obtained from organoleptic test showed the higher concentration extract clay mask preparation, the more intense color and sharper the aroma, the homogeneity test preparation showed  homogeneous composition, the resulting pH test 5.7-6.2. Test drying time 18-18.4 minutes. The spreadability test 5,5-5.7 cm and the viscosity of the preparation 13-14 Pa.s. Results of the research has been carried out, it was obtained the clay mask preparation formula ethanol extract of kokang leaves meets good physical characteristics and it can be concluded the ethanol extract of kokang leaves can be formulated as a clay mask.
