Abstract
Many soaps in the market offer different kinds of benefits such as whitening the skin, treating various skin problems and removing bacteria from skin. But some may still produce bad results and some can be too expensive to purchase. But there are other options that can be made to have healthy skin. Pineapple is an abundant tropical fruit commonly found in humid and hot regions. Citric and malic acids are found in good quantities in pineapple fruits while ascorbic acid is found in moderate amounts in pineapple fruit. It has antioxidants and immune support. Other health benefits of pineapple is firming skin (by boosting the production of collagen), sloughing off dead skin cells, evening out skin tone, and making tiny wrinkles less noticeable. On the other hand, “Dusol” is a smooth stemless herb arising from tuberous aromatic rootstocks with fibrous cylindrical roots. It is common in the Philippines and it has the resemblance of gingers and turmerics. Its rhizomes are used for medicinal purposes. Dusol plant has antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. These two ingredients are the main ingredients that will be used for a better antibacterial, germicidal and organic soap.
CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Background of the Study
Soap is a substance used for many different kinds of cleaning. It also comes in many forms and content based on its uses. Bar soap is the most common form of soap which is usually made by treating fat with an alkali, as sodium potassium hydroxide, and consisting chiefly of the sodium potassium salts of the acids contained in the fat. The soaps may also have different purposes aside
