VARIATION OF EMULGATOR CONCENTRATION IN BODY LOTION PREPARATION FROM TOMATO FRUIT JUICE (LYPERSICUM ESCULENTUM L.) AND OLIVE OIL) ON PHYSICAL TEST

Abstract

Skin care is becoming increasingly popular for both men and women to maintain healthy skin. The skin protects the body from the outside world because it is the outermost tissue of the body. Therefore, the skin is very easily exposed to sunlight and dangerous environmental elements, this causes damage and reduction in collagen and can also cause damage to the skin, the skin looks dark, scaly, dry and can also cause wrinkles if we don't look after or care for the skin. (A. Wilapangga and D. Rahmat, 2023). Tomatoes are a natural ingredient that has various benefits, including being used to maintain healthy skin. Apart from being used as vegetables, fruit and medicine, tomatoes themselves contain many benefits. Lycopene, which is a substance with high antioxidant activity, is found in many tomatoes (N. Product, 2021). Olive oil also contains a number of vitamins such as vitamins A, D, and E as well as a number of minerals. The vitamin E content is useful for treating skin damage because it contains tocopherol compounds which have antioxidant activity, which can protect from free radicals. (Mursyid AM, 2017). The aim of this research was to determine variations in emulsifier concentration using Tween 80 and Span 80 in tomato juice (Solanum lypersicum L.) body lotion preparations with variations in the best emulsifier concentration. The work procedure consists of taking samples, identifying plants (tomatoes), processing samples, making lotion preparations, evaluating lotion preparations including organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, pH tests, spreadability tests, adhesion tests, stability tests. The research results show that tomato juice can be formulated into a body lotion formulation using an emulsifier. The test results on F1, F2 and F3 preparations meet the requirements for organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, pH tests in accordance with SNI standards, namely 4.5-8, spreadability tests with a range of 5-7 cm, and emulsion type tests. However, in the F2 dispersion test, the dispersion is  wider than F1 and F3.
