- Background: Green tea contains catechin polyphenols. Catechins in green tea serve as antioxidants. Antioxidants are intended to inhibit the premature aging that occurs due to free radicals. Olive oil is used as a natural emollient in the formula, the choice of olive oil because Research says that olive oil is a nutritious beauty treatments rich in vitamin E which is anti-aging, besides olive oil is useful to soften and moisturize the skin without clogging the pores. Objective: This study aims to know physical and chemical characteristic and physical stability of green tea antioxidant cream (Camellia sinensis L.) with emollient olive oil with variation of levels against green tea antioxidant cream (Camellia sinensis L). Method: Green tea extract obtained by maceration extract. The antioxidant potential content in green tea extract was tested by DPPH method (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrihidazil). The cream formula was made with the emollient variations of olive oil FI (5%), FII (10%), and FIII (15%). Testing the physical properties of cream include viscosity, dispersion, pH, and physical stability test cream with Freeze thaw method consisting of 6 cycles. The physical properties of the cream were analyzed by One-Way anova test. Result and Conclusion: he results of green tea extracts have antioxidant potential after being tested with DPPH, with the addition of olive oil to the dosage, the preparations are softer. Physical properties show that elevated levels of olive oil affect the level of tenderness but not for other characteristics. So it can be concluded formula I is the formula that has the best physical and chemical characteristics.
