Methods: The extraction was done by maceration method and continues with phytochemical screening and herbal gel formulation (four formulas) using hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose as a base. The gel was evaluated for the physical appearance, pH, homogeneity, and antibacterial.
Result: The ethanolic extract of M. micrantha Kunth had a high value of alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins. All of the formula (F1-F4) showed a good result in physicochemical and antibacterial evaluation.
Conclusion: M. micrantha Kunth can be used to treat the skin diseases, especially acne vulgaris problem.
