Abstract
The komba-komba plant is very rich in chemical substances including alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins and triterpenoids/steroids. Based on the potential utilization ofkomba-komba leaves in empirical medical field as well as research showing the presence of antibacterial scientifically, then this plant has the potential to be further processed in the form of liquid soap preparations. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the leaf extractkomba-komba (Chromolaena odorata L) can be formulated into liquid soap preparations and knowing the best concentration so that it can produce preparation of liquid soap ethanol extract ofkomba-komba (Chromolaena odorata L) leaves which well based on the parameter tests carried out. The design of this research is research experimental, which is a study by conducting experimental activities to knowing the influence that exists, as a result of certain treatment or The experiment was carried out by examining the experiments carried out on the variable test using, using organoleptic test experiments, homogeneity test, test foam and pH test. The results of this study indicate thatkomba-komba leaf extract (Chromolaena odorata L) can be formulated as liquid soap and it has been done homogeneity test, pH test, foam test it is known that all parameters the requirements for liquid soap were tested, namely the overall preparation was homogeneous, pH The soaps have a pH of 10, 11 and 11, respectively, and have high foam resistance good that is able to maintain 60-70% foam volume for 5 minutes. Keywords: komba komba plants, liquid soap, physical properties
