Traditional Medicines are ingredients or ingredients in the form of plant ingredients, animal ingredients, mineral ingredients, galenic preparations or mixtures of these materials, which have traditionally been used for treatment based on experience.  One of the plants that can be used as traditional medicine is the leaves of arum manis mango (Mangifera indica LINN.).  The leaves of Mango Arum Manis which are commonly found are rich in health benefits.  The compounds contained in the leaves of arum manis mango are tannin alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and mangiferin which have antibacterial properties.  This study aims to determine the inhibition of solid soap preparations of arum manis mango leaf extract against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.  Solid soap was made in 3 concentrations, namely 1%, 2% and 3%, then an inhibition zone test was carried out on Staphylococcus aureus bacteria using the paper disk method, negative controls used solid soap base without extracts and positive controls used antiseptic solid soaps on the market.  The results obtained were the average barrier diameter of solid soap with a concentration of 1%, namely 1.93 mm, a concentration of 2%, namely 10.36 mm, while a concentration of 3%, namely 12.68 mm.  Based on the research results obtained, it can be concluded that solid soap ethanol extract of mango arummanis leaves can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
