Formulasi dan Uji Stabilitas Fisik Sediaan Hair Tonic Ekstrak Daun Cabai Rawit (Capsium Frutescent L). Dengan Variasi Propilenglikol Dan Etanol 96%

Cayenne pepper leaf (Capsicum frutescents L) is one of the natural ingredients that contains chemical compounds including saponins, alkaloids, terpenoids, quinones and flavonoids. Saponin and flavonoid compounds in cayenne pepper leaves have a role to stimulate hair growth. So that it can be used to overcome the problem of hair loss, where hair loss often occurs in the community dueto lack of nutritional intake and excessive use of chemicals. To overcome this, this research was carried out which aims to use preparations from natural ingredients of ethanol extract of cayenne pepper leaves which were made into hairtonic preparations with variations of propylene glycol and 96% ethanol Hairtonic formulations used 96% ethanol, menthol, propylene glycol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, and aquades. Then a physical stability test was carried out to determine at what concentration the hairtonic preparation produced good physical stability. Hairtonic physical stability test was carried out for 14 days of storage with organoleptic results. Brownish orange color in the form of a clear solution and distinctive aroma of cayenne pepper leaf extract, the pH test was from the last cycle Formulation 1: 4.9 then Formulation 2: 5.0 and Formulation 3. : 5.1. Still in the skin pH range of 4.5-6.5, the Viscosity test is from the last cycle of Formulation 1: 1.01 Cps then Formulation 2: 0.95 Cps and Formulation 3: 1.06 Cps. Still in the hair tonic viscosity specification, which is below 5 Cps, in the Specific Gravity test in Formulation 1: 0.9950 gram/ml. then Formulation 2: 0.9951 gram/ml. and Formula 3: 0.9978 gram/ml. Still in the hair tonic viscosity specification, which is ±1 gram/ml. From these results, it can be seen that at concentrations of propylene glycol 10%, 15%, 20% and ethanol 5%, 10%, 15% produced good physical stability
