Data collection methods are observation, documentation, questionnaires and descriptive percentage analysis using lab tests, organoleptic tests, product validity, clinical tests and preference tests. The research results of the pH 5.78 lab test, positive vitamin C lab test, 83% organoleptic test, 82% product validation, 100% irritation clinical test, 3.5% panelist skin color level clinical test, 4% respondents, 91.6% anti-body odor clinical test, and 80% favorability test. In conclusion, product validation was declared valid, product suitability was declared suitable in organoleptic tests, lab tests, liking tests, clinical tests for irritation and body odor, and not suitable for clinical tests on skin color level.
