The addition of the thickener additives (polyglicol) and softener (glyserin) in antiseptic products made from palm shell liquid smoke to give effect to the inhibition of bacterial growth. In addition 16% thickener and softener gives 1.50% inhibition of the growth of bacteria is best to Staphylococus aureus bacteria with strong category and Salmonella bacteria thipy with strong category with a pH of 3.5 and a viscosity of 0.4 DPAs The results of the analysis of a swab test the panelists indicate a difference in the number of bacterial colonies before and after swabbed with antiseptic products based hand wash liquid smoke reduction in the number of bacterial colonies on hand before and after the panelists swabbed respectively 8.3% and 96.75
