Abstract: Dragon fruit is a kind
of cactus tree from the family Cactaceae. Red dragon fruit contains lots of
vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B1, B2, and B3. These vitamins can increase
energy, and metabolize food, and even improve skin quality. This study aims to
determine whether red dragon fruit skin extract can be made into lotion
preparation and to know the effect of variation of red dragon fruit skin
extract on physical properties of lotio. Red dragon fruit skin was extracted by
maceration, lotio was made using formulation with variation of dragon fruit
skin extract which were F1 (3%), F2 (5%), F3 (7%). The lotio was making by
mixing the oil phase into the water. Physical test results showed there was
organoleptic change in F1, F2 and F3 after observation for 4 weeks. The average
result of pH test for four weeks was meet the lotio requirements ranging from
4.5-8. F1 with an average of 6.5, F2 with an average of 7.25, F3 with an
average of 7.5. The result of viscosity test is F1 0,5 poise, F2, F3 and F4 0
poise. The result of F1 7.0 cm, F2 7,1 cm and F3 7.5 cm. The irritation test
results are not irritating on the use of F1, F2 and F3. The test results showed
that F0 and F1 are more favorable. The result of this research was that red
skin dragon fruit extract can be made into lotio formulation and there was
influence of variation of extract concentration on the physical properties of
lotio.
