Introduction

Formula ekstrak kulit buah alpukat (persea gratissima gaetn) sebagai cream masker rambut untuk perawatan rambut berketombe. Cari masker rambut? Ekstrak kulit alpukat (Persea Gratissima) diformulasikan jadi cream masker efektif atasi ketombe. Teruji valid & ampuh rawat rambut berketombe.

Abstract

Kulit buah alpukat dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan kosmetika karena memiliki berbagai kandungan seperti vitamin C, saponin, alkaloid, flavonoid, dan zinc yang mampu mengatasi rambut berketombe. Tujuan penelitian (1) mengetahui validitas produk cream masker rambut pada karakteristik ekstrak kulit buah alpukat untuk perawatan rambut berketombe. (2) mengetahui karakteristik produk masker rambut dari ekstrak kulit buah alpukat sebagai masker rambut untuk perawatan berketombe melalui uji inderawi dan uji pH. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif desain Research and Development (RnD). Validitas produk menggunakan 3 panelis ahli yaitu dokter, apoteker, dan pemilik salon kecantikan. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan studi literatur, uji laboratorium, dokumentasi, dan angket. Analisis data menggunakan deskriptif persentase pada uji inderawi sedangkan pada uji pH menggunakan hasil laboratorium. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa masker rambut ini dinyatakan valid oleh 3 panelis ahli dari validasi produk menunjukkan rata-rata F0 67%, F1 92%, dan F2 94%. Hasil uji inderawi menunjukkan kualitas produk sesuai dengan indikator warna, aroma, dan tekstur pada masing-masing formula F0 56%, F1 89%, dan F2 97% sedangkan hasil uji pH menujukkan rata-rata pH F0 6,69, F1 6,37, dan F2 6,04. Simpulan penelitian berdasarkan uji validitas produk, uji inderawi, dan uji pH pengunaan cream masker rambut ekstrak kulit buah alpukat dikategorikan layak dan efektif untuk pengurangan ketombe.

Review

This study presents an interesting exploration into the utilization of avocado fruit peel extract (Persea Gratissima Gaetn) as a hair mask cream for dandruff treatment. The premise is compelling, leveraging the reported richness of avocado peel in compounds such as vitamin C, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, and zinc, which are known for their potential cosmetic benefits, including anti-dandruff properties. The research aims to assess the validity of the product and characterize its sensory attributes and pH, offering a preliminary step towards developing a novel natural-based hair care solution. This endeavor holds promise for expanding the range of natural cosmetic ingredients and addressing a common scalp issue. The methodology employs a quantitative Research and Development (RnD) design, which is appropriate for product development. A key strength is the robust validation process involving three expert panelists: a medical doctor, a pharmacist, and a salon owner, providing a multi-faceted assessment of product suitability. The results demonstrate encouraging outcomes, with formulas F1 and F2 achieving high validity scores (92% and 94% respectively). Sensory evaluations also yielded positive feedback for F1 and F2 concerning color, aroma, and texture (89% and 97%), indicating good user acceptability. Furthermore, the pH values for all formulas (ranging from 6.04 to 6.69) fall within a generally acceptable range for hair care products, suggesting good compatibility with the scalp and hair. While the study successfully validates the formulation and characterizes its physical properties, a critical gap lies in the absence of actual efficacy testing on dandruff reduction. The conclusion states that the product is "effective for dandruff reduction" ("efektif untuk pengurangan ketombe"), but the abstract describes no clinical trials or in-vivo studies that would support such a claim. The reported methods are limited to product validation, sensory evaluation, and pH measurement, which only confirm product suitability and safety, not its therapeutic effectiveness. Therefore, future research must include rigorous clinical trials on human subjects suffering from dandruff to substantiate the anti-dandruff efficacy. Additionally, providing more detail on the specific differences between formulas F0, F1, and F2 would enhance the understanding of the formulation optimization process.
