Paraswati, Amalia (2025) FORMULATION OF HERBAL TOOTHPASTE FROM EGGSHELL AND COCONUT SHELL CHARCOAL (COCOS NUCIFERA L.) TO PREVENTING TOOTH DISCOLORATION. S1 Undergraduate thesis, Universitas Darussalam Gontor.
Abstract
Herbal toothpaste is an alternative to environmentally friendly products that are less irritating than synthetic whitening agents such as carbamide peroxide. This study utilizes eggshells as a natural abrasive and charcoal as a natural whitening agent that is less irritating than synthetic whitening agents. This study aims to determine the physical characteristics and effectiveness of eggshell herbal toothpaste and coconut shell charcoal (Cocos nucifera L.) in reducing tooth discoloration. Formulas were made with 20% eggshell concentration in each formula and activated charcoal F0 (0%), F1 (6%), F2 (12%) and F3 (18%). Evaluation of the physical quality of the preparation includes organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, stability by the cycling test method and evaluation of tooth discoloration reduction. The results of the physical quality test of organoleptic preparations, homogeneity, pH 8.95-9.25 and spreadability 2.64-3.75 are following SNI 12-3524-1995 but after the stability test there was an increase in pH and spreadability of the preparation and in the F0 preparation with 20% eggshell and 0% charcoal eggshell precipitation occurred. The best formula for reducing tooth discoloration is F3 with 20% eggshell content and 18% coconut shell-activated charcoal. The hope in further research is that the eggshell particles used will be smaller and tooth color measurements will be carried out instrumentally.
