This study aims toevaluate the organoleptic properties of facial soap containing Hermetia illucens powder.Hermetia illucens powder based facial soap is a promising product due to the potential naturalingredients and possible health benefits associated with the components of Hermetia illucenspowder. In this research, Facial soap is produced through a formulation process with variousdifferent concentrations of Hermetia illucens powder. This research method involves thepreparation stages of Hermetia illucens powder, making facial soap using appropriate methods,and organoleptic testing on the final product. Evaluation of organoleptic properties is carriedout by involving experienced panelists who are trained to assess several sensory aspects,including aroma, color, texture and overall impression of facial soap. The results showed thatfacial soap containing Hermetia illucens powder had significant variations in organolepticproperties depending on the concentration of Hermetia illucens powder used in the formulation.Increasing the concentration of Hermetia illucens powder tends to produce more striking colorchanges and a more distinctive aroma.
