Abstract Research has been done on hand gel formulation of the ethanol extract of the leaves of [Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsley) A. Gray]. This research also obtained data of its antibacterial activity with variation of extract that contained in gel (4%, 5%, and 6%). Evaluation that conducted for gel were organoleptic, pH, stability, homogeneity, spread power, and time of gel absorption on skin. Antibacterial activity test against Staphylococcus aureus also conducted for this formulation by well diffusion method. The results of the evaluation conducted on the hand gel ethanol extract of the leaves of [Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsley) A. Gray] showed that this formulation has meet all of the gel’s characterization requirements. Gel that has antibacterial activity is Formula 1, Formula 2 and Formula 3. Formula 3 showed the highest antibacterial activity as indicated by its inhibition zone (35.19 mm). Based on the results of one-way ANOVA statistical analysis there is a significant difference in the inhibition zone that produced by all formulation of hand sanitizer gels of Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsley) A. Gray extract (P <0.05).
