Abstract

Objective: Cosmetics production is estimated to increase by 7% due to consumer demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, one of which is soap production. The purpose of this research was to determine the citronella oil (Citronella oil) with the addition of red spinach (Amaranthusgangeicus) extract can be formulated in the manufacture of solid soap. Method: The method used in this research is a laboratory-based experimental method. The formula for solid soap is the ratio between citronella oil (Citronella oil) and red spinach (Amranthusgangeticus) namely formula 1 = 1% and 2%, formula 2 = 1.5% and 2.5% and formula 3 = 2%, and 3%. The tests carried out in this study included Organoleptic Test, pH Test, High Foam, Irritation Test on Volunteers’ Skin and Preference Test. Result: formula 1 with pink organoleptic test results, in solid form and produces lemongrass oil aroma, pH 9.0 test, high foam test with 60% foam stability, and irritation test on volunteer skin is no irritation. Formula 2 with organoleptic test results was pink in solid form and produced the aroma of citronella oil, pH 9.0 test, high foam test with foam stability 70%, and irritation test on volunteer skin was no irritation. Formula 3 with purplish pink organoleptic test results in a solid form and produces lemongrass oil aroma, pH test of 10,4, foam height test with 60% foam stability, and irritation test on volunteer skin is no irritation. Conclusions: The conclusion of this research is that formula 2 is the best.
