This study evaluated the effect of maceration time variation on the characteristics of basil leaf extract (Ocimum basilicum L.) and the performance of deodorant spray preparations containing the extract. Maceration was carried out using 96% ethanol for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 days. The extract was then formulated into a deodorant spray at concentrations of 5–25% (v/v). The parameters observed included yield, pH, antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis (colony count/CFU method), and organoleptic testing (color, aroma, and after feel) by 25 panelists. The yield increased with maceration time from 8.64% (day 2) to 10.82% (day 6). The pH value of the preparation was 4.9–5.2, in accordance with SNI 16-4951-1998 and close to the physiological pH of the skin. Commercial deodorants reduced the number of bacterial colonies by 50%, while basil extract deodorants reduced it by 20% in the test concentration range. Organoleptically, the 15% concentration was most preferred by the panelists. These findings indicate that basil extract has potential as an active ingredient in natural spray deodorants; optimization of concentration, formulation base, and further statistical testing are recommended to enhance antibacterial efficacy.

Based on the research results regarding the formulation and testing of Deodorant Spray made from basil leaf extract (Ocimum basilicum L.), it can be concluded that variations in maceration time between 2-6 days resulted in higher extract yields with increasing maceration time, with the highest yield obtained at 6 days (10.Variations in basil leaf extract concentration (5-25%) affected the sensory characteristics and antibacterial activity of the Deodorant Spray, with a concentration of 15% providing the best balance between aroma, color, and after feel, and exhibiting reasonably good antibacterial activity.The formulations remained physically stable and met the pH standards set by SNI, making them safe for topical application.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengoptimalkan konsentrasi ekstrak basil dan formulasi dasar deodoran agar dapat meningkatkan efektivitas antibakterinya. Selain itu, studi lebih mendalam mengenai stabilitas senyawa aktif dalam ekstrak basil selama penyimpanan perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan kualitas produk yang konsisten. Sebagai pengembangan, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada pengujian efektivitas deodoran spray basil terhadap berbagai jenis bakteri penyebab bau badan, termasuk yang resisten terhadap antibiotik, untuk memperluas cakupan perlindungan. Penelitian lanjutan juga dapat mengeksplorasi penggunaan teknik enkapsulasi untuk melindungi senyawa aktif dalam ekstrak basil dari degradasi dan meningkatkan pelepasan terkontrol, sehingga meningkatkan efektivitas dan durasi perlindungan deodoran. Terakhir, studi komparatif antara deodoran spray basil dengan deodoran komersial yang ada perlu dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas, keamanan, dan preferensi konsumen secara komprehensif.
