Abstract

Indonesia's geographical location causes Indonesia to have a diverse flora with many benefits. One of them is sente (Alocasia macrorrhiza L.). Sente is known to contain glucomannan. This compound can be used as an excipient in pharmaceutical preparations such as gel formulations and emugators. This study aims to see the implementation of the use of sente starch as an ingredient in lotion preparations combined with citronella oil as an anti-inflammatory. This study used an experimental method with 3 variants of different formulas at sente starch levels with concentrations of 4%, 6%, and 8%. The results of organoleptic testing of fragrant lemongrass massage lotions are cream-colored liquid preparations with a distinctive aroma of citronella oil and have a smooth texture. Whereas based on homogeneity and emulsion type test, lemongrass massage lotion has good homogeneity with oil-in-water emulsion type. Lemongrass massage lotion has a viscosity ranging from 17.0 cP to 144.9 cP, and has a good spreadability with pH 6. Based on the research results, the use of sente starch as a thickener gets good results and meets the requirements in terms of characteristics and pH.
