A Science Investigatory Project on Oryza Sativa Cleanser

Abstract

Nowadays, the air is already polluted, causing several skin problems. Effects on the skin alone include dryness, premature aging, skin rashes, eczema, and acne. Rice is one of the most consumed food in the Philippines, primarily found in almost all households. It is full of vitamins and minerals that are wonderful for the skin; something women in Asian cultures has known for centuries. Today’s facial wash products are so expensive, which is why the researchers thought of a product that is affordable and effective since the majority of the ingredients will be commonly found in an ordinary household. The research method design utilized in the study is quantitative analysis. The participants of the study sampled 10 Science Teachers and 5 Science Experts to test the significant difference in the level of acceptability of cleanser in terms of effectiveness, affordability, odor, lifespan, and presentation using t-test at the level of significance at α= 0.01 and degree of freedom 13. The prominent findings of the study in terms of effectiveness, affordability, odor, and lifespan revealed were strongly agree; there is no significant difference between the assessments of the two groups of respondents on the level of acceptability of the Oryza Sativa cleanser in terms of effectiveness, affordability, odor, and lifespan. As suggested, the product must be cream so it can be applied to the skin easily, the PH level of the product must be between PH level 6 –7 so that it will not irritate the skin and lastly, the product price must be competitive and affordable so that a normal student can afford it. The results can be forwarded to improve the effectiveness of the product. Researchers must provide a picture that will show the before-and-after effects of the product upon application. To increase the lifespan of the product, researchers must improve its packaging. To make it affordable, the researchers must lower its price so even students can afford it.
