Abstract

Research on the leaf prospects of patchouli plants (Pogestemon cablin Benth) as an anti-mosquito lotion Aedes aegypti dengue vectors will be performed. This research aims to find out Prospects of mosquito repellent lotion Aedes aegypti Dengue Fever Vector by knowing its effectiveness as a repellent. The type of research used is Experimental Laboratory. Assay tests to determine the potency of repellent are carried out in vitro. Phytochemical, antioxidant, and organoleptic tests were performed. Data analysis was conducted using Anova and followed by BNT tests. The results showed that the patchouli oil lotion was effective as a mosquito repellent. Formulations 2 and 3 did not differ significantly in their percentage of protective efficacy. These formulations, containing patchouli oil, white wood oil, and clove oil in ratios of 1:0.4:0.1 and 2:0.4:0.1, respectively, were further developed as a prototype named Patchoshield. This prototype has an effective dosage, is safe for human use, and shows promising potential for further development as a natural mosquito repellent.
