Kulit kering merupakan masalah umum yang terjadi akibat rendahnya
kelembapan serta produksi minyak alami kulit, dan dapat diperburuk oleh paparan
sinar matahari serta faktor lingkungan. Handbody gel menjadi alternatif
perawatankarena mampu melembapkan sekaligus memberikan efek sejuk,
terutama jika diformulasikan dengan bahan alami seperti tomat (Solanum
lycopersicum L.) yang kaya likopen sebagai antioksidan, serta lidah buaya (Aloe
vera (L.) Burm.f.) yang memiliki sifat pelembap dan antiinflamasi. Penelitian ini
bertujuan merumuskan dan mengevaluasi sediaan handbody gel berbahan aktif
sari tomat dan lidah buaya dengan variasi konsentrasi untuk memperoleh formula
yang sesuai standar mutu fisik. Metode penelitian menggunakan rancangan
eksperimental laboratorium melalui tahapan determinasi, preparasi, ekstraksi,
formulasi handbody gel, serta evaluasi mutu fisik. Parameter uji meliputi
organoleptis, homogenitas, pH, viskositas, daya sebar, dan stabilitas (sentrifugasi,
penyimpanan suhu ruang dan freeze and thaw). Sebanyak sebelas formula diuji,
yaitu F0 (basis), F1F3 (sari buah tomat 5%, 10%, 15%), F4F6 (sari lidah buaya
5%, 10%, 15%), serta F7F11 (kombinasi dengan konsentrasi 2,5%:2,5%, 5%:5%,
7,5%:7,5%, 10%:5% dan 5%:10%). Hasil menunjukkan semua formula stabil
dengan pH 4,56,5, viskositas 3.000-50.000 cPs, homogen, dan memiliki
dayasebar baik. Formula F7 (2,5% tomat dan 2,5% lidah buaya) memberikan hasil
terbaik karena selama masa pengujian cenderung stabil, dengan tekstur lembut,
daya sebar optimal, dan stabilitas tinggi. Kesimpulannya, sari buah tomat dan sari
lidah buaya dapat diformulasikan menjadi handbody gel yang memenuhi standar
mutu fisik serta berpotensi sebagai perawatan kulit kering.

Dry skin is a common problem that occurs due to low moisture and natural
oil production of the skin, and can be exacerbated by sun exposure and
environmental factors. Handbody gel is an alternative treatment because it can
moisturize and provide a cooling effect, especially if formulated with natural
ingredients such as tomatoes (Solanumlycopersicum L.) which are rich in lycopene
as an antioxidant, and aloe vera (Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f.) which has moisturizing
and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aims to formulate and evaluate
handbody gel preparations containing active ingredients of tomato juice and aloe
vera with varying concentrations to obtain a formula that meets physical quality
standards. The research method uses a laboratory experimental design through the
stages of determination, preparation, extraction, handbody gel formulation, and
physical quality evaluation. Test parameters include organoleptic, homogeneity,
pH, viscosity, spreadability, and stability (centrifugation, room temperature storage
and freeze and thaw). Eleven formulas were tested: F0 (base), F1F3 (tomato juice
5%, 10%, and 15%), F4F6(Aloe vera juice 5%, 10%, and 15%), and F7F11
(combinations with concentrations of 2.5%:2.5%, 5%:5%, 7.5%:7.5%, 10%:5%,
and 5%:10%). Results showed all formulas were stable at a pH of 4.56.5, with a
viscosity of 3,00050,000cPs, homogeneous, and good spreadability. Formula F7
(2.5% tomato and 2.5% aloe vera) performed best throughout the testing period,
maintaining a soft texture, optimal spreadability, and high stability. In conclusion,
tomato and aloe vera juice can be formulated into a handbody gel that meets
physical quality standards and has potential as a treatment for dry skin.
