Abstract As we all know, we are now experiencing global economic crisis especially in third world countries like the Philippines. In line with this, since guava is one of the distributed fruit tree crop in the tropics like the Philippines, the researchers would like to find out if the guava plant is feasible enough as a main ingredient of lotion. If ever successful, this would serve as a milestone for the Filipinos to start a business and have a source of income. The experiment was conducted by having the guavas put in boiled water for five minutes, peeled and put into the blender. Coconut oil was emulsified with beeswax later on mixed with the guava puree together with the preferred scented oil. This lotion was presented and had it surveyed to twelve different people. To know if it reaches the standard, the researchers also surveyed another twelve people to use a commercialized lotion on their skins. With the results averaging 4.02 for the guava lotion and 4.54 for the commercial lotion, we can say that guava is a viable main ingredient of a scrub lotion.
