Kulit wajah merupakan bagian yang sangat sering terpapar radikal bebas seperti
asap rokok, asap kendaraan, debu, dan sinar UV. Polusi tersebut dapat
menurunkan fungsi kolagen untuk mempertahankan struktur kulit sehingga dapat
menyebabkan kulit wajah menjadi kusam,menggelap dan munculnya penuaan
dini. Maka dari itu perlu menjaga kebersihan wajah dengan mencuci wajah secara
teratur, salah satu produk yang digunakan yaitu facial wash bahan alam seperti
sari buah pepaya (Carica papaya L.) kombinasi sari lidah buaya (Aloe vera Linn.)
dipercayai sebagai antioksidan serta pelembab. Metode yang digunakan
eksperimental dengan pengujian determinasi, preparasi, pembuatan facial wash
gel dan evaluasi mutu fisik, terdapat 12 formulasi, F0 (basis), F1, F2 dan F3 (sari
pepaya 5%, 10%, 15%), F4, F5 dan F6 (sari lidah buaya 5%, 10%, 15%) serta F7,
F8, F9, F10 dan F11 (kombinasi sari pepaya dan sari lidah buaya 2,5:2,5 ; 5:5 ;
7,5:7,5 ; 10:5 dan 5:10). Evaluasi yang dilakukan meliputi pengujian organoleptis,
homogenitas, pH, daya sebar, daya busa, viskositas dan pengujian stabilitas. Hasil
penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua belas formulasi yang mengandung zat aktif
memenuhi semua syarat evaluasi sediaan. Namun pada uji stabilitas freeze and
thaw formulasi facial wash gel yang mengandung zat aktif sari buah pepaya
mengalami perubahan warna dan viskositas secara signifikan dengan p-value

Facial skin is one of the body parts most frequently exposed to free radicals
such as cigarette smoke, vehicle emissions, dust, and UV rays. These
pollutants can impair collagen function in maintaining skin structure, leading
to dullness, darkening, and premature aging. Therefore, it is important to
maintain facial hygiene by regularly washing the face. One product that can be
used is a natural-ingredient facial wash, such as a formulation containing
papaya fruit extract (Carica papaya L.) combined with aloe vera extract (Aloe
vera Linn.), both known for their antioxidant and moisturizing properties. This
study used an experimental method involving determination tests, preparation,
formulation of facial wash gel, and evaluation of its physical quality. Twelve
formulations were made: F0 (base only), F1, F2, and F3 (5%, 10%, 15%
papaya extract); F4, F5, and F6 (5%, 10%, 15% aloe vera extract); and F7, F8,
F9, F10, F11 (combinations of papaya and aloe vera extracts in ratios of
2.5:2.5; 5:5; 7.5:7.5; 10:5; and 5:10). The evaluations included organoleptic
properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, foaming ability, viscosity, and
stability testing. The results showed that all twelve formulations containing

active ingredients met the standard evaluation criteria. However, in the freeze-
thaw stability test, the facial wash gel formulations containing papaya extract

showed significant changes in color and viscosity (p-value< 0.05), and
significant pH changes were also observed at room temperature (p-value <
0.05). Based on the physical evaluation results, the most stable facial wash gel
formulation throughout the testing period was F8 (a combination of 5%
papaya extract and 5% aloe vera extract).
