Research has been carried out on 1% and 3% concentrations of mango (Mangiferaindica L.) leaf extract for the manufacture of solid soap preparations and physicalquality tests of solid soap preparations have been carried out. Mango leaves have the ability as an antioxidant that can inhibit the main factor in the aging process. This study aims to determine that mango leaf extract (Mangifera indica L.) can be used as a solid soap with a concentration of 1% and 3% which meet the physical quality test requirements which include pH test, foam power test, organoleptic test, and homogeneity test. This research design is experimental research. The mango leaf extract was obtained from the maceration process with 70% ethanol and phytochemical screening was carried out. Making soap formulation is done by calculating using the Lye Calculatorand making soap using the Cold Process method. The research results were processed using descriptive analysis. The treatments in this research were the concentration methods added were 1% and 3%. The homogeneity test showed that the three solid soap formulations of mango leaf extract (Mangiferaindica L.) were still homogeneous as indicated by the absence of coarse grains orparticles on the surface of the mango leaf extract (Mangifera indica L.) solid soap which was seen in plain view on the soap preparations. solid without the addition of extract and a concentration of 3%. Meanwhile, the concentration of 1% looks like it is semi-homogeneous. The organoleptic results showed different forms, the formula without the addition of extract and a concentration of 1% had a solid form while the formula with a concentration of 3% had a solid and hard form. The formula without the addition of the extract and the concentration of 1% has a distinctive aroma of lux soap while the formula with a concentration of 3% has a distinctive aroma of mango leaves which is more concentrated, the color of the preparation in each formula is different, influenced by variations in the concentration of mangoleaf extract. The high stability of the foam with a height of 9cm and the pH value is in accordance with SNI 06 -3532 -2016 with a pH value of 9-11.
