The purpose of this study was to determine the IC50 value of the antiaging cream of telang flower (Clitoria ternatea). This research method includes the manufacture of telang flower extract, the manufacture of cream with the addition of telang flower extract, and testing of antioxidant cream of telang flower extract. The yield of telang flower extract is blue, has a distinctive odor of telang flower with a yield of 41.3721%.               Telang flower extract cream in the form of green cream, in the form of semi-solid preparations and odorless, made with a concentration variation of 0.25%; 0.75%; and 1.25%.
