HALAL COSMECEUTICAL : KUTEKS WUDLU FRIENDLY DAN TERAPI DERMATOMIKOSIS DARI EKSTRAK PACAR AIR (Impatiens balsamina L)

Abstract

Pacar air leaves (Impatiens balsamina L.) contains saponin which has activity as an
antifungal, can inhibit the growth of Candida albicans which causes dermatomycosis. The
purpose of this study was to determine the inhibition of Pacar air leaves (Impatiens
balsamina L.) made in gel nail polish preparations for the growth of Candida albicans.
Experimental research used a sample in the form of pure nail extract and extract. Physical
preparation tests were carried out on formula I and formula II in the form of organoleptic
tests, homogeneity, dispersion, adhesion and pH. The results showed that the pH test in both
formulas did not irritate the skin. The scattering power test in both formulas spread well and
the sticky strength test on both formulas could be attached to the skin in more than 1 second.
The homogeneity test in both formulas showed the presence of fine and flat particles. The
inhibitory test of Pacar air extract (Impatiens balsamina) on fungal growth of Candida
albicans using the SPSS application was significantly different. In conclusion, formula II and
pure extract showed antifungal activity which could inhibit the growth of Candida albicans
where pure extract had the greatest inhibitory power.
