Introduction: Stem of Sempeng (Nepenthes gracilis), which contain saponin and tannin has been known had antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes that usually improve severe of acne. Acne is a skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the polisebasca that often occurs in adolescence. Aims and Objective: The aims of this research are to develop and test a peel-off mask prepared from stem of Sempeng extracts, which has antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes. Materials and Methods: Stem of Sempeng was extracted with soxhletation method by ethanol 96\%. The extract was formulated into peel-off mask with different extract concentration (0, 1, 5, 10, 15) \%. Then the inhibition test of the extract and peel-off mask was measured against bacteria Propionibacterium acnes. The data analysis technique used in this study was to measure the zone diameter on a petri dish using a caliper with a millimeter (mm) unit and presented in tables and photos, the results of the inhibition zone measurement were compared with the classification of the response of the extract barrier to the growth of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CSLI) standard bacteria. Results: The result showed that the inhibition zone of the peel off mask preparation of sempeng stem extract in F1 and F2 formulations with extract concentrations of 1\% and 5\% are categorized as resistant, which means that the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria has a low level of sensitivity so that a large inhibition zone is not formed. Whereas in the F3 formulation with a concentration of 10\% is categorized as an intermediate, which means in this concentration, the mask can inhibit the growth of the inhibition zone Propionibacterium acnes bacteria which is formed quite well, but in this category it will require repeated use or with high doses of use. Then in the F4 formulation with a concentration of 15\%, it is categorized as susceptible, which means the mask have a good inhibitory resistance zone, this shows that the increase in high concentration, the greater the inhibition zone as well. Conclusion: The peel off mask from ethanol extract of Sempeng stem is able to inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. The peel mask preparation with concentration 1\%, 5\%, 10\% and 15\% forms a clear zone around the disc which means that this peel off mask formulation has activity to inhibits Propionibacterium acnes bacteria and is included in the category of susceptible interpretation according to the CLSI standard.

Introduction: Lately, the use of natural cosmetics can have a good effect on the skin. One of them is traditional beauty treatments. The Serum is a preparation with low viscosity, because of its low viscosity serum is categorized as an emulsion preparation. From the results of research that has been carried out, ethanol extract of Hati Tanah tuber has great potential as an anti-acne because it can inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium acnes. With the innovation of serum ethanol extract of Hati Tanah tuber, it can be an option for the community later in the treatment of acne. Methods: The formulation is made in 4 (four) formulas with different concentrations of the main ingredients used. Next is to weigh all the ingredients needed according to each formula. Then physical properties test performed. a) Organoleptic test; b) Homogeneity Test; c) pH test; d) Spreadability Test and e) Adhesion Test. Results: The organoleptic test was carried out directly by looking at the shape and color and smelling the serum preparation of the ethanol extract of Tanah Hari tubers. The test results show that at F0 (0\%) the color is clear, for F1 (0,5\%) it is quite pale pink, F2 (1\%) is bright pink and F3 (5\%) is dark red. For scent organoleptic, F0 indicates no scent, for F1 and F2 there is a distinctive scent from the Hati Tanah tuber which is slightly pungent, while F3 shows a pungent aroma typical of the Hati Tanah tuber. The resulting serum has a thick texture at F0 and F1, a watery texture at F2 and a thinner texture at F3. All of the formulas have met the physical test requirement of organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, and adhesion test. Conclusion: The simplicia of Hati Tanah tuber can be made into an innovative cosmetic preparation in the form of serum with a concentration of 0,5\%, 1\% and 5\%. From the results of testing the physical properties of the formulations, all of the formulas have met the physical test requirement of organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, and adhesion test.

Introduction: Dayak community has a long history of using medicinal plants as traditional medicine. But this knowledge is conveyed verbally without any written documentation. Therefore, this study aim is to preserve Dayak{\textquoteleft}s knowledge about medicinal plants in Mandomai village. Methods: To collect the information, a survey was conducted in January 2019. Snowball sampling method was utilized to select 11 informants. Data were collected using structured interviews to gather information about local names, part of plants, the benefit of plants and how the plants are used. Results: The result showed that 55 species of medicinal plants used by the Dayak community in Mandomai as traditional medicine. However, only 48 species were identified, while 7 others were still in the process of being identified. The most widely used part of the plants is the leaves. Before being used as traditional medicine, medicinal plants are processed first. Some plants are ground and used immediately, while some are boiled or soaked in warm water. Conclusion: This documentation provides a catalog of medicinal plants used by Dayak community for the education of future indigenous knowledge

Introduction: In Islam, ethical teachings of biomedical ethics are linked with a Holy Qur{\textquoteleft}an and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Al-Quran is one of the best reference books describing the importance of plants for medical benefits. There are 28 chapters (Surah) which mention specific name of plants in Al-Qur{\textquoteleft}an. This paper aims to compile the up-to-date information about some medicinal plants that mentioned in Al-Qur{\textquoteleft}an. Methods: Comprehensive and detailed information about plants has been collected from Ayat and Surah in the Qur{\textquoteright}an which states the specific name of the plant. Plant identities are arranged in a systematic sequence of confirmed botanical names from literature such as books, journal articles, and online databases, followed by Indonesian names, English names, families, references from the Qur{\textquoteright}an, parts used, chemical content, And medicinal properties. The pharmacological claims of plants mentioned in the Qur{\textquoteright}an, enriched by the search for scientific evidence available in journals and books. Results: Based on the collected data, there are 27 plant species mentioned in Al-Qur{\textquoteleft}an. In this paper, plants species were arranged in a systematic order of identity of the plant, followed by Indonesian name, English name, Family, references cited from Holy Quran, Part used, Chemical constituents, and efficacy of herbal medicine that has been used both empirically and scientifically. Conclusion: In this paper, attempts have been made to compile up-to-date knowledge of 27 species medicinal plants mentioned in the Qur{\textquoteright}an, which can be used as a quick reference guide for further studies in ethnobotany.
