Abstract

Cymbopogon nardus is a traditional plant that has chemical content of citronella oil with potential antibacterial activity. Antibacterial peel-off mask is very easy to applicate on face. This research aim is to develop and characterize the antibacterial peel-off mask gel containing citronella oil. This study used an experimental method. The peel-off mask was formulated using 8%, 10%, and 12% of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a gelling agent. Evaluation of peel-off mask including physical characteristics (organoleptic, homogeneity, viscosity, spreadability, film drying time), chemical characteristic (pH value), stability and antibacterial activity. The organoleptic properties showed that the citronella oil peel-off gel mask was white, aromatic and had a soft texture. The variation in PVA affects the pH value, viscosity and film drying time of the peel-off mask, significantly. Stability test showed that all peel-off mask was no significant changes physically in the freeze-thaw method, but there was some color change and phase separation in the real-time method. The peel-off mask containing citronella oil using 8% PVA has the highest inhibition against Propionibacterium acnes almost the same with the positive control (clindamycin gel). Variation concentration of PVA in the formula was affected on the physical and chemical characteristics and antibacterial activity of the citronella oil peel-off mask gel, significantly. The preparation using 8% PVA gives the best formula with optimal results.
