Formulation of pomade with atisiri oil pandan wangi leaves (pandanus amaryllifolius roxb.)

This research aims to: 1) know the formulation of pomade making from aromatic pandan wangi leaf essential oil, 2) know the characteristics of pomade from the essential oil of pandan wangi leaves, and 3) know the quality of pomade from the essential oil of fragrant pandan leaves, and 4) the anti-fungal activity of pomade from the essential oil of pandan wangi leaves. Research methods used by research and development (R&d) models. Formulation of pomade manufacture of pandan wangi leaf essential oil is carried out based on the results of research that produces a stable formula that is pomade with the appropriate quality SNI with the base of pomade type oil based and not petrol based with a concentration of 34% of the total weight of pomade. Pomade formula is added to the essential oil of pandan wangi leaves with different concentrations of 2.5% (formula 1), 5% (formula 2) and 7.5% (formula 3). The characteristics and quality of pomade are known from organoleptic and hedonic tests that 47% of respondents strongly agree with pomade has the aroma of essential oil of pandan wangi leaves, 52% of respondents strongly agree with the color of pomade in dark green, 45% of respondents strongly agree with the texture of pomade very smooth without any granules, the respondent’s response after pomade is on a smooth impression as much as 90.56% and the impression is moist as much as 90.00%. Formula 1 to formula 3 provide homogeneous results. Formulas 1 through 3 have a pH balance with pH range of hair and oil on the scalp which is 5.5 between pH 4.5 -5.5. The largest antifungal activity is in formula 3 (essential oil content 7.5%) with an inhibithor zone diameter of 37 mm. This indicates that the greater the concentration of pandan wangi leaf essential oil, the stronger the antifungal activity against niger’s Aspergillus.
