Abstract

Background: Phenolic compounds in plants act as natural antioxidants, with cempedak (Artocarpus champeden) leaf extract showing promise due to its high phenolic content and potential antibacterial properties against Propionibacterium acnes. Objective: This study explores the effectiveness of cempedak leaf extract as an active ingredient in peel-off gel face masks for antibacterial purposes. Methods: Cempedak leaf extract was analyzed for phenolic content and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Its antibacterial activity was tested against P. acnes using agar diffusion, comparing inhibition zones with positive control. A peel-off gel face mask was formulated with cempedak leaf extract, undergoing physical and an irritation test. Results: Cempedak leaf extract contained a total phenolic content of 342.35 mg EAG/g and exhibited significant antibacterial activity. The face mask formulation with cempedak leaf extract showed promising physical properties and did not irritate, meeting the peel-off gel face mask standards. Conclusion: Cempedak leaf extract has potent antibacterial properties, making it an effective ingredient in peel-off gel face masks for treating acne. Further research could explore its commercial potential in skincare products.

Abstract

There are a lot of media available today that can be utilized for education. Using TikTok, a social media platform, is one approach to speak English on your own. This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of TikTok as a medium for learning English. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Researchers employed interviews to gather data. This study's participants are students majoring in English education, consisting of 5 participant taken by purposive sampling. This research reveals that TikTok provides students with the opportunity to watch English-language videos created by native speakers, which can improve their listening skills, expand their vocabulary, improve their grammar and pronunciation, and introduce them to variations in English accents. TikTok can also help students develop their overall English skills in a fun and dynamic way. However, for TikTok to be used effectively as an English learning tool, it requires help from teachers and good content management.
