Formulation and Stability Test of Anti-Acne Toner Preparation with Jasmine Flower Extract (Jasmimum sambac L)

Abstract

Toner can prevent residue and sebum from absorbing into the pores of the face which can cause various problems on the skin of the face such as acne. Jasmine flowers have a content that can inhibit Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria and shigella flexneri bacteria with a concentration of 10% which is one of the bacteria that can cause acne. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of variations in surfactant concentration on the stability of anti-acne toner preparations with jasmine flower extract and to identify the optimal formulation based on the results of the evaluation of anti-acne toner preparations with jasmine flower extract. The laboratory experimental research method used a quasi-experimental method without a control group with a one-group posttest only design. Jasmine flower extract was formulated as many as 2 formulas with variations in polysorbate 20 concentration of 5% and 5.65%, then a stability test was carried out using the cycling test method for 12 days for 6 cycles by evaluating before and after the stability test, including organoleptic, homogeneity, viscosity, and pH. The results of the study showed that the preparation of jasmine flower extract toner (Jasminum sambac L) with variations in surfactant concentration showed differences in organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, and viscosity. In the pH test it was unstable (p 0.000). The viscosity test of formula I (p 0.081) was stable, formula II (p 0.400). The conclusion of the two formulas in making jasmine flower extract toner preparations with variations in surfactant concentration from the results of all cycles in the cycling test obtained physically stable evaluation results but were chemically unstable so that there was no optimal formula.
