ABSTRAK: Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan tingkat penambahan yang terbaik dari ekstrak gambir (Uncaria gambir, Roxb) dalam bentuk mikropartikel pada sabun transparan berbasis minyak sawit. Penambahan berbagai tingkat mikropartikel ekstrak gambir akan mempengaruhi sifat fisik dan sensori sabun transparan. Berdasarkan hasil pengukuran menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) dengan perbesaran 200x ukuran mikropartikel ekstrak gambir berkisar antara 12,1-22,8 µm. Penelitian ini menggunakan 8 perlakuan dengan 2 ulangan, yaitu penambahan mikropartikel ekstrak gambir dengan konsentrasi 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% dan 10%. Penambahan 3% mikropartikel ekstrak gambir memberikan hasil yang terbaik dengan karakteristik kekerasan 17,53± 1,99 kg/cm2, stabilitas busa 84,18 ± 0,08 %, uji iritasi 0, nilai warna 4,70 ± 0,47 dan transparansi 4,60 ± 0,60. Kata kunci: ekstrak gambir, iritasi, SEM, stabilitas busa ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to gain information related to excellent addition gambir extract microparticles (Uncaria gambir Roxb) for palm oil-based transparent soap. Different addition of gambir extract microparticle affected physical and sensory characteristics of transparent soap. Based on Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with 200 times magnification, the size of gambir microparticle were between 12.1-22.8 µm,. There were 8 different concentration (3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, and 10%) observed with 2 replications in this study. It showed that the ideal addition of gambir extract was 3% with 17.53 ± 1.99 kg/cm 2 for hardness, 84.18 ± 0.08% foam stability, zero for irritation test, while sensory analyses were 4.70 ± 0.47 for color and 4.60 ± 0.60 for transparent.
