Abstract :
The content of banana kepok peel has flavonoid compounds used as antioxidants.
The aim of this research is to know the effect of combination of stearic acid and
trietanolamin on physical properties and get optimum formula. Cream is made 8
formula with stearic acid 15% minimum concentration and maximum
concentration 17%, triethanolamine with minimum concentration 2% and
maximum concentration 4% according to optimization Simplex lattice design. The
optimization of the formula uses the SLD method with the physical properties
parameters of the cream. The optimum cream formula on the combination of
stearic acid 16.7 grams and triethanolamine 2.3 grams. Optimal formula compared
to prediction results in SLD software for pH got 6.1, viscosity 237.47, adhesion
12.32, power spread 18.11, protection 14.98. which showed no significant
difference in the test, then has good acceptability to respondents.
