<![CDATA[Avocado seeds contain secondary metabolite compounds that have many benefits such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and vitamin E which can be utilized for skin care. Body scrub is a skin care preparation in the form of a liquid emulsion consisting of an oil phase and an aqueous phase with coarse grains that are useful for moisturizing, cleaning the surface of the skin pores, removing dead skin cells as well as being a carrier for efficacious substances into the skin. This study aims to see a body scrub preparation formulation of avocado seed ethanol extract that meets the physical quality requirements and determination of the potential irritation of body scrubs. The method of making avocado seed ethanol extract is done by maceration and remaceration. Four formulations were made, namely F0 base, F1 1%, F2 5% and F3 10%. The physical evaluation carried out was organoleptical test, pH test, homogeneity test, spreadability test, adhesion test, viscosity test, and irritation test. The results showed that the body scrub preparation made had met the requirements of the physical quality test and the value of the degree of irritation of the body scrub was 0.3-1.3 which means very mild irritation to mild irritation.]]>
