| dc.description.abstract | Facial mask is one of the treatments that aims to tighten the skin and treat the
skin with ingredients contained in cosmetics. Papaya seeds (Carica Papaya L.) are
known to contain alkaloid compounds that have the potential to inhibit the growth of
Propionibacterium acnes bacteria that cause acne. Gel mask with the active
ingredient of papaya seed ethanol extract is one form of facial treatment to treat
acne. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of papaya seed ethanol extract in
the form of gel mask preparations in inhibiting the growth of propionibacterium
acnes bacteria that cause acne. The preparation of papaya seed extract was carried
out by maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. The antibacterial activity test
method uses the disc paper agar diffusion method and the patch test method in the
irritation test. Formulation of gel mask preparations with papaya seed ethanol
extract concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. The gel mask preparation
was tested for organoleptic, homogeneity, viscosity, pH, irritation test and
antibacterial activity test. The results of this study indicate that the gel mask
preparation is gel, mauve red in colour, has a distinctive peppermint aroma,
homogeneous, pH 7,39-7,99, viscosity 12974-22454 cP, diameter of the inhibition
zone 14.1-15.6 mm including the strong category and does not cause skin irritation | en_US |
