Karakteristik dan Efektivitas Formula Sabun Cuci Tangan Cair Handmade dalam Menurunkan Angka Kuman

This study aims to compare the characteristics of handmade liquid hand soap formula and its effectiveness in reducing number germs. The formulation used is difference amount EDTA, Texapon, NaCl making. characterization carried out was organoleptic, physical stability at room temperature, pH, viscosity, foam height stability, water holding capacity, density. Meanwhile, reduced germs by calculating total plate (ALT) bacteria on test taker before after washing their hands. results obtained were that first (P1) which less amounts had a bright color, lack foam, perfect solubility,stable did not cause burning feeling Whereas second (P2) with higher hadexellence amoont compared previous but solubility perfect, stable temperature caused result Pairef t show count bigger than table, so different an effect germ based ALT parameter. P1 can reduce hands 47.64% P2 36.12%.
