Abstract

Abstract

Aloe vera is a plant that contains antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that can help maintain elasticity and moisturize the skin naturally. Aloe vera as an ingredient in soap making, not only serves to kill bacteria, but can also soften the skin. Soap is a product derived from a combination of alkali, especially sodium or potassium hydroxide, and triglycerides consisting of fatty acids with carbon chains. Soap from aloe vera has antibacterial effectiveness because it contains many secondary metabolites, namely saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, and anthraquinones. This service was carried out so that the community gained knowledge and experience about how to make herbal soap with the correct composition and method of manufacture. The process of making this product was carried out on December 16, 2024 at the house of the head of the PKK RT 032 Simpang IV Sipin Village, Telanaipura District, Jambi City. The results of this service are to produce good and feasible soap products and have met the criteria with soap quality testing.
