Abstract: Red ginger has been proven to be efficacious as an antifungal with active ingredients such as eugenol, kaempferol, galangin, and acetoxychavicol acetate. The use of the red ginger extract in shampoo products is expected to increase the added value of red ginger other than as an effort to find alternative sources of medicinal preparations that are safer for people with scalp infections. This study aims to (1) determine the effectiveness of shampoo with the addition of red ginger extract on fungi that cause scalp infections, (2) determine the effect of adding red ginger extract on the characteristics of shampoo products, and (3) determine consumer preferences for shampoo products with the addition of red ginger extract.In this study, a shampoo formulation was carried out with the addition of several concentrations of red ginger extract. The design used was a single factor Completely Randomized Design with 4 variations in the concentration of red ginger extract of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3%.A formula was made without the addition of ginger extract as a control. Parameters observed included pH, water content, free alkali content, emulsion stability, viscosity, inhibition, and organoleptic tests. The results showed that the shampoo with the addition of red ginger extract was quite effective in inhibiting the fungi Trichophytonmentagrophytes and Microsporum canis with inhibition area diameters of 29-34 mm and 32.3-36 mm, respectively. The addition of red ginger extract turned out to affect the characteristics of the shampoo, pH value, water content, free alkali content, and red ginger emulsion stability according to SNI standards (06-2692-1992). Based on the characteristics of the shampoo, product stability, and preference test, the recommended red ginger extract shampoo formula is added with a red ginger extract concentration of 0.5%.
