dc.description.abstract | Butterfly pea flowers contain secondary metabolites, one of which is antibacterial,
because it has potential as an alternative to antibiotics. The purpose of the research was to
increase the function of transparent soap in addition to moisturizing the skin and inhibiting
the growth of bacteria on the surface of the skin. The butterfly pea flower was extracted
by maceration using 96% ethanol, then the butterfly pea flower extract was added to the
making of transparent soap according to the treatment. The treatments in this study were
the addition of S0 (0 mL) butterfly pea flower extract as a control; S1 (0,10 mL); S2 (0,15
mL); S3 (0,20 mL); S4 (0,25 mL) into 100 mL of transparent soap formulation. The best
formulation resulting from this study was the S4 treatment (6 g cocoa butter, 7 g stearic
acid, 14 g palm oil, 5 g avocado oil, 48% NaOH 7 g, 13 g glycerin, 15 g ethanol, cocamide-
DEA 5 g, 17 g sugar, 0.2 g NaCl, 10.45 g aquadest and 0.3 g perfume and 0.05 g dye. The
results of the antibacterial activity produced from the butterfly pea flower extract and
avocado oil resulted in an inhibitory effect on P. acne bacteria ranged from 8,1-20,1 mm
which had moderate to strong inhibition and E. coli bacteria ranged from 21,1-28,8 mm
which had very strong inhibition. | en_US |
