An Investigatory Project of Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) as a Substitute Component of Sunscreen

Vol.4, No.1

Abstract

Our bodies experience heat as a result of climate change, which might harm the health of our
skin. The majority of individuals are not renowned for providing sunscreen and caring for their
own skin. We frequently leave the house to complete personal chores and tasks outside.
Sunscreen may be used to leave the house in daily life and can help reduce skin disorders. To
address the above-mentioned issue, the researchers conducted a study to find a substitute
component for making sunscreen, which is the kiwi fruit.

The result of the study was Highly Acceptable, with 3.66 OWM from the STEM Teachers and
Acceptable with 3.16 OWH from Dermatologists in terms of ingredients, procedures,
effectiveness, and presentation. The acquired mean of STEM Teachers is 3.66, while the
Dermatologist acquired a mean of 3.16. The variance of STEM Teachers is 0.026, while the
variance of dermatologists is 0.029. The t-computed value is 4.639, while the t-critical value is
2.306, with alpha-two tails of 0.05 and a degree of freedom of 8. The t-test acquired 0.0027 as
a result. It rejects Ho.

The researchers inscribe Kiwi to use as a substitute component for sunscreen. The
researchers suggest using aloe vera gel, non-nano zinc oxide, and beeswax to lessen the oil
substance and using an ingredient for consistency.
