Abstract :
One of the bacteria that causes acne is Staphylococcus aureus. Jackfruit
leaf (Artocapus heterophyllus L.) is one of the plants that has potential as an
antibacterial, the leaves of Jackfruit have several compounds, one of these is a
flavonoid which has antibacterial activity.
The purpose of the research is to determine the optimum proportion of
PVA and HPMC which will be formulated in the preparation of peel off gel mask
extract of jackfruit leaf using the simplex lattice design method. The extraction
method used in this study is maseration with ethanol as a solvent. Peel off gel
mask manufacturing is done by optimation the base of PVA dan HPMC.
The quality control testing of the peel off gel mask preparation and the
result obtained that meet the requirements of the homogeneity, pH, viscosity,
drying time of the peel off gel mask, speadability and adhesion of the peel off gel
mask. The optimum formula of peel off gel mask based on the simplex lattice
design method is on a combination of 12,79% PVA base and 3,20% HPMC.
Antibacterial activity test obtained has the ability to inhibit against Staphylococcus
aureus bactria indicated by an average diameter of the zone of inhibition by 9,6
mm. The statistical results obtained stated that there was significant difference
between the positive control.
