The main chemical compounds found in ginger are essential oils, oleoresin and starch. Extraction of oleoresin from ginger rhizome is increasingly being used as a raw material for medicine. This study aims to extract oleoresin from ginger and use it as a stick balm preparation. The extraction process was carried out at a temperature of 40◦c for 3 hours using 96% ethanol solvent with a ratio of 1: 5, namely ginger powder with a size of ± 40 mesh as much as 300 grams with 1500 ml solvent. The extraction results were separated using a rotary vacuum evaporator to obtain oleoresin. The result of standarization of red ginger simplicia powder meet the requirements. The result of the four formulas show that the stick balm meets the requirements for the evaluation of the stick balm preparation. Formula 3 with 10% (w/v) red ginger extract was chosen as the best formula because it produces a better warm taste. ER -
