Fromont’s patented formula produced an unusually mild, clear soap that rinsed quickly and easily from the skin, leaving essentially no soap residue. Eleven minutes after washing with this unique soap, the skin was able to return to its normal pH - just one minute more than if it had been washed with only plain water!

    According to the Roper-Logan and Tierney model, cleansing and dressing are one of the twelve activities of daily living also known as ADL’s.2 This model also describes other possible contributing factors which may influence the activity of living such as; biological (this varies from skin pigmentation and hair to gender and physical disability) psychological (such as the knowledge people have about cleansing and dressing and why hygiene is so important to prevent infection) environmental (such as if a person has running water where they live, also if a person is living in a tropical climate they may need to bath or shower more often due to excessive perspiration).2 This model also talks about politico economic; this is where a person may have all the facilities necessary to meet hygiene needs but due to rising costs of fuel cannot afford to use them.2…

    Personally, being a part of the fashion program, I have learned that the textile industry is one of the largest contributors to the negative impacts on the environment. Part of it is the processes of textile dyeing. According to Green Choices, “Dyeing alone can account for most of the water used in producing a garment; unfixed dye then often washes out of garments, and can end up coloring the rivers, as treatment plants fail to remove them from the water. Dye fixatives – often heavy metals – also end up in sewers and then rivers” (Environmental Impacts). Conventional dyeing leaves one of the biggest water footprints on the planet. It causes a huge problem in terms of water use and pollution, not to mention the risks of human health. Usually, toxic chemicals (including dioxin, toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde, etc.) are contained within the dye fixative that is used to bond the dye color to the fabric. The last stage of the dyeing process is to remove the excess dye color from the fabric. It requires an enormous amount of water equivalent the weight of the fabric to actually flush out all of the toxic…

    Body odour (esp., foot odour) is the body’s unpleasant smell that is caused by bacteria. The main cause of this is foot sweat. Actually, sweat itself is odourless, but it creates a beneficial environment for certain bacteria to grow and produce bad-smelling substances. These bacteria are naturally present on our skin as part of the human flora. More smell is created with factors that cause more sweating such as wearing shoes and socks with inadequate air ventilation for many hours. Hair on feet, especially on toes may contribute to the odours’ intensity by increasing its surface area where bacteria can thrive. Foot powder is a type of sweat-absorbing powder that helps prevent or remove foot odour. But some common foot powders aren’t as absorbent as the ideal foot powder. Some irritates the skin and some are expensive enough for consumers to reject. So therefore, the researchers thought of making such Calamansi Peel Foot Powder to provide a cheaper and a skin-friendly prevention for foot odour.…
