FORMULATION OF NONI LEAF ETHANOL EXTRACT ETHANOL MASK PREPARATION AS ANTI-ACNE AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY TEST AGAINST PROPIONIBACTERIUM ACNES

Abstract

Skin is the outermost part that covers the entire human body including the face. Facial skin is most often exposed to sunlight, pollution, and free radicals. As a result, facial skin becomes unhealthy, resulting in skin problems such as acne. Acne or acne vulgaris is a skin disease that often arises and can disturb teenagers, the solution to acne is to use a face mask. clay masks are very suitable for use to treat acne skin, because clay masks have advantages such as being able to soften and clean sebum on facial skin. The method used in this research is experimental which was conducted in the laboratory of STIKes Indah Medan. The samples used were blank formulation, formula 1 (10%), formula 2 (15%) and formula 3 (20%). The results showed that the clay mask preparation of noni leaf ethanol extract met the physical quality requirements such as homogeneity test, organoleptic, irritation, liking, spreadability, drying time and stability test.  The antibacterial test method was carried out by the well diffusion method and the results of the inhibition zone test on formulation 1 were 16.4 mm, formulation 2 was 22.11 mm and formulation 3 was 27.48mm. Ethanol extract of noni leaves (Morinda citrifolia L.) can be formulated into clay mask preparations for blank formulations producing bone white colour, formulation 1 produces light green, formulation 2 produces dark green colour and formulation 3 produces dark green colour. From the inhibition zone test, it can be seen that the best inhibition zone can be seen in formulation 3, namely: 22, 48 mm. The data obtained were analysed using statistics and standard deviation.
