ABSTRACT
Lapindo mud eruption in Sidoarjo caused a lot of material and non-material losses. On the other hand, the potential of Lapindo mud requires further utilization. Lapindo mud, which contains 53.03% Si, is a future silica reserve if processed based on research and technology. One of the efforts made by synthesizing Lapindo mud as nanosilica is because silica content is the main element in Lapindo mud which can be applied to adsorb ibuprofen waste. Nanosilica from Lapindo mud using a green chemistry-based sol-gel method which is more environmentally friendly was synthesized using pluronic P123 as a mold and egg white as a natural surfactant with a ratio of 1:1. This synthesis uses a hydrothermal process at a temperature of 90oC. The results obtained were then calcined at a temperature of 500℃ to obtain completely pure silica in the form of a white powder. The adsorption performance test of nanosilica material against ibuprofen waste with various conditions was measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The maximum adsorption capacity occurred at a contact time of 40 minutes, adsorbate concentration of 100 ppm, adsorbent mass of 0.01 grams, neutral pH, and room temperature (27). Adsorption kinetics of ibuprofen by nanosilica followed the Ho&Mckey isotherm model. Keywords: Lapindo Mud, Nanosilica, Green Chemistry, Ibuprofen Adsorption, Sol-Gel Method

ABSTRACT
Traditional therapy is an alternative medicine technique that has been around for a long time. One of the traditional therapies that are still popular with the community is scraping. Scraping is a treatment method that is done when you catch a cold by pressing and sliding a blunt object repeatedly on the surface of the skin until red welts occur. However, scrapings can cause side effects in the form of inflammation of the skin. Symptoms begin with heat, pain to (erythema) redness. To overcome these side effects, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. The right antiinflammatory drug preparation to be applied to the skin is in the form of a cream. To take advantage of the natural resources that exist and as a form of care for the environment, many preparations are made from natural ingredients or in the form of herbal plant extracts. Mimosa leaves contain secondary metabolites, namely flavonoids, steroids, tannins, and saponins that can be used as natural anti-inflammatory. As an herbal plant, the leaves of mimosa are commonly used as transquilizer, expectorant, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory. In addition to the mimosa leaves, pandan leaves are also one of the natural anti-inflammatory herbal plants. Pandan leaves contain secondary metabolites in the form of flavonoids and steroids that can inhibit the cyclooxygenase enzyme thereby inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins. Every drug has side effects, especially those that contain chemicals that are inseparable from anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory drugs that are currently circulating have side effects such as burning, itching, dryness to secondary infections. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a cream that can function as an anti-inflammatory drug as well as a skin moisturizer.

Abstract
Garlic and shallot are commonly utilized in culinary preparations as well as herbal treatment. Tuber use, on the other hand, frequently results in skin waste. Because they include chemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, quinones, saponins, and polyphenols, garlic and shallot peels have the ability to act as sunscreens, while garlic peels operate as antioxidants. Meanwhile, shallot peel is high in chemicals like flavonoids and organosulfur, which can function as antibacterial and anti-acne agents by inhibiting Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. The goal of this research is to create a sunscreen with a variety of benefits using a combination of garlic and shallot peel extracts. Garlic peel yields 16 percent and shallot peel yields 11 percent from the extraction process. The sunscreen was created in three formulations with extract concentrations of 6%, 13%, and 20%, which were then put through a series of testing. The result of physical testing revealed that the F3 sunscreen had the darkest color, with good uniformity in all three formulae. The three cream recipes darkened in color from the 7th to the 21st day. The dispersion test results on F1 are among the most extensively disseminated. With the O/W cream type, the obtained sunscreen pH varies from pH 5 to pH 7. The strongest antibacterial activity was found in shallot peel extract at a concentration of 20%, while the three sunscreen cream formulations had the least anti-acne effect.
