Abstract
activated charcoal and mandarin orange (Citrus Reticulata) peel powder as aromatic
deodorizing soap. The respondents of this study were the 16 Grade 12 STEM voluntary
students studying at Garcia College of Technology, Inc. The research instrument used in
this study was the researcher-made questionnaire for the level of acceptability of
activated charcoal and mandarin orange (Citrus Reticulata) peel powder as aromatic
deodorizing soap in terms of lather, color, fragrance, hardness, cleansing ability, and
lasting rate answered by the respondents. For the product testing, the researchers used
the user testing approach and used the observation checklist as an instrument for the
evaluation of the product in terms of lather, color, fragrance, hardness, cleansing ability,
and lasting rate and as well as for identifying the significant difference of the said product
among the different treatments. Data gathered from the research were subjected to
mean and standard deviation for descriptive data analysis and Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) was used for inferential data analysis. The major finding of the study revealed
that the degree of acceptability of activated charcoal and mandarin orange (Citrus
fragrance, hardness, cleansing ability, and lasting rate was found to be higher by the
respondents. The evaluation of the product was found to have a foamy lather,
less dense in terms of hardness, cleansing but a faint odor in terms of cleansing ability,
and minus 2 to 3 cm in size in terms of lasting rate. Lastly, this study found that there
was no significant difference between the homemade aromatic deodorizing soap among

Orange fruit is indeed the greatest source of Vitamin C, which is beneficial to overall
well-being and healthy skin. Citrus fruits, according to Borse (2019), are outstanding for
their aroma, owing to flavonoids and limonoids found in the skin. Yet, orange peel itself
contains the vast majority of their benefits. Orange peel has potentially valuable
components that can be developed into high-quality products. Due to its anti-
inflammatory and germicidal properties, the powder created from drying the peel is a
great ingredient for skin and hair (Yoshizaki et al., 2014). In addition to serving as a
secondary element for the antibacterial property, this will also provide aroma to the soap,

In this study, “activated charcoal” refers helps eliminate excess oil, grime,
product build-up, and unwanted germs. Because activated charcoal has a high surface
area and may absorb toxins, it potentially clings to grime and oil on the skin. This
element will be used to achieve the deodorizing characteristic of the generated soap as
it contains antioxidants that will help eliminate bacteria and germs that causes odor.
Aromatic – refers to the odor, sensed through the nose and retro nasal olfaction,

several years a household chore rather than a profession. Soap was heavily taxed as a
luxury item in several countries well into the nineteenth century. When the tax was
cleared, soap became available to most people, and cleanliness standards across
societies improved.
A key step toward large-scale soap making took place in 1791 when a French
chemist, Nicholas Leblanc, patented a process for making soda ash from common salt.
Soda ash is derived from ashes and may be mixed with fat to create soap. Along with
other developments and the creation of power to run factories, this discovery led to soap

Soaps are anionic surfactants that are mostly used in combination with water for
cleaning, washing, and bathing. Moreover, they are also employed in textile spinning
and are crucial parts of lubricants. By processing vegetable or animal oils and fats with a
highly alkaline solution, cleaning soaps are produced. Triglycerides, which are made up
of three fatty acid molecules linked to a single glycerol molecule, are the building blocks
common oils or fats with a strong alkaline solution to produce sodium or potassium salts
of fatty acids. Soap is a member of the detergent family, which includes substances that

Foamy hand soap is a type of liquid soap. It is made of diluted liquid soap that is
filled with air as it exits the dispenser in order to create a frothy lather. Foaming hand
soap must be used in pairs with specialized dispensers. Some are meant to be used
without being refilled, while others are meant to be refilled on a regular basis. When the
pump is used, some soap is stored in a pressurized container, while others are
combined with air in the dispensing unit. As a result, foamy soap saves money by
requiring less liquid while still dispensing an enormous quantity of soap into your hands.
It is also better for the environment because it uses fewer products (Megaphone, 2022).
washing your hands. It is important to understand, however, that washing only helps to
remove germs from your hands and does not necessarily destroy them. Surfactants in
hand soap are responsible for bacteria removal. Surfactants are chemicals that lower the
surface tension of water and dissolve molecular barriers. Surfactants, in other words,
make your hands slick, making it more difficult for dirt, debris, or germs to grip and stay.
Using a bar or foaming hand soap mechanically reduces the bacteria count on your skin.
Soap "pulls" dirt and other pollutants from your hands and pushes them into running
water.
As you might already know, water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one
oxygen atom. When these molecules are pulled together within water, they create a thin

layer, which is surface tension. Surface tension is defined as a measure of the force
surfactant. A surfactant is used to reduce that surface tension of the water. If there is not
a surfactant, the water will continue to hold on to itself due to the water molecules being
spread out over a surface, a surfactant is required (Nazdrajic and Bratovcic, 2019).
Due to the tension that is formed as the two ingredients combine, soap and water
produce a lather. The air then starts to displace water molecules, relieving surface
tension, and tiny bubbles start to form. As a result, lather might be defined as
microscopic bubbles that have been tightly "packed" together (The Handcrafter's
Companion, 2023). Most of us have the misconception that homemade soap does not
lather as well as commercial soap (Earthy Sapo, 2020). While handcrafted soap lathers,
it's important to remember that not all soap recipes are created equal. Some may
contain ingredients that promote it, while others may suppress it. As a result, we have an

what people look for in soap since it helps us remember where we've previously had a
bath. In our minds, lather colors the areas that have been cleansed, therefore making a
lot of foam will enable us to satisfy the user's illusions. Scientists say that the main
purpose of soap lather is to suspend dirt, grease, and grime by creating a great amount
of surface tension in water. The friction of washing our skin traps dirt for easy removal
while rinsing. In short, lather serves an important purpose in cleaning you during shower

active ingredient, foam stabilizer, and other elements such as the kind of oil used
(Wibowo, 2015). The oils used in the soap formulation along with the sodium hydroxide
ratio may be what cause the soap to foam. According to Yernisa et al. (2013), the
content of fatty acids or oil and alkaline solution had an impact on the foam production
rate and stability of aromatic deodorizing soap, which produced a sizable amount of
Megaphone (2022) claimed that effective hand soap has been found to need less
time to accomplish good hand cleansing. Having a soap that is lathery uses less soap
per hand washing session. It's also thinner and less likely to clog drains, which are often
cleaned with harsh chemicals and detergents. When less soap is flushed down the
drain, less soap ends up in the environment. Another less obvious environmental benefit
is water conservation. Consumers who lather and rinse their hands with foamy hand
soap use significantly less water than those who use conventional liquid soap. Lather is
produced by foamy soap without the use of chemicals. Because foaming hand soap
lathers better, it takes less to achieve a satisfactory state of hand cleanliness. It takes
less of it to thoroughly lather your hands (Centers for Disease and Control Prevention,
2020).
There are instances where adding too much butter prevents the bar's natural

because of the little bubbles. When you super fatten a batch of soap, you add excess oil
knowing that there won't be enough lye solution to saponify it into soap. Because the
additional oils aid to hydrate the skin and give a safety buffer, most soap is extremely
fatted at a rate of approximately 5%. Super fatting is the result of insufficient lye. As long
as it isn't too much, this simply means a softer bar. Lye in excess can cause skin
irritation and burning. That is something that should be avoided at all costs (Benjamin
Anderson (2021) claims that soap producers are instructed to choose a variety of
oils in order to produce a high-quality bar of soap. Shea butter and olive oil are both
widely used, but coconut oil is perhaps the most popular. It is believed that while coconut
oil soap is very hard and bubbly, it may also be excessively drying, thus milder oils must
be added to the formula to balance it out. For instance, despite the fact that palm oil may

Natural soap is a natural surfactant, thus it does not require synthetic ingredients
to produce lather or to clean. So, in addition to creating fantastic bubbles and lather, it
also aids in naturally cleaning greasy debris from your skin. The kind of lather a soap bar
generates is also influenced by the materials and curing period needed to create a
natural bar of soap. Oils like coconut and castor oil aid in producing a thick, frothy,
bubbly lather. Contrarily, soaps largely manufactured from olive oil, such Castile-type

soaps, will result in a rich and creamy lather rather than a bubbly one. Handmade soap
has naturally preserved glycerin, which contributes to the great lather. Natural
handmade soap must "cure," which is the process by which the soap's leftover water
gently dries out over time and becomes harder. Depending on the recipe, we cure our
soaps for roughly 8 to 10 weeks. A bar of natural soap that has been properly cured will
be gentler, last longer, and generate an abundance of bubbly lather even if a bar of
handcrafted soap can be used after only a few weeks (Friedman, 2023).
Olive oil makes a hard, long lasting soap with a gentle cleansing lather, suitable
for all skin types including sensitive skins. High in Oleic acid, a soap made with olive oil
will help to condition and soften your skin. Olive oil is most often blended with other oils
and butters, each one bringing a slightly different property to create a balanced bar, with
a rich creamy lather that cleanses without drying (McBryde, 2021). According to
Purwanto (2021), people preferred soap that was very hard, with the amount of extract
added to the soap mixture having an effect on how hard the soap was.
The quantity of fatty acids in the soap affects how hard it is. The complexity of
the soap increases with the amount of fatty acids present. According to another theory,
the kind of fat used affects how hard the soap is; yet, the optimal hardness of soap is
somewhere in the middle. According to Beckam (n.d.), high-quality soap must be hard,
and the soap's low iodine content contributes to this hardness. This may help the soap
last longer in shower settings. Ellmore (2022) asserts that the kind of soap you use
affects how long it lasts because tougher fats and oils make soap last longer than softer,
liquid oils do. Saturated fats give soap its hardness, extending its shelf life. A lot
depends on the kind of oils used and how they are stored. Like fine wine or cheese,

soap that is stored in cool, dark areas matures nicely. With usage, the soap gets rougher
and softer, prolonging its duration in the shower (Durant, 2023). Both cold-process and
hot-process soaps may be stored for at least a year and probably longer when they are
wrapped in tissue or a cardboard box. Airtight containers are not recommended since
the soap has to be able to evaporate. The temperature of the water in the shower will
because it helps to produce firm bars with stable, fluffy foam. Additionally, it is
inexpensive and generally accessible to most of us. But because it's thought to be
drying, the majority of soap manufacturers will only use 20–30% of it in a regular soap
mix. At that pace, it offers all of its excellent benefits without damaging your skin.
The super fat is a combination of all the oils we use to manufacture soap.
Whatever oils lye comes into touch with, it saponifies. The oil remains after the chemical
reaction, and the lye is consumed and left floating in the soap. Rancidity in certain of
those oils is more likely to occur in products with a greater super fat content (more than
8%). This is especially true for oils like canola, sunflower, and sweet almond oils. In
actuality, all oils except coconut. Because of this, it is okay to use a lot of super fat in this
dish. For the record, the extra fat doesn't make the soap softer.
In daily life, we use soap to wash dishes, clean clothing and maintain the
appearance of our bodies noses, and eyes. Soap may be used in a wide variety of ways
in our daily lives. Making our household a better place to live and work is one of its core
beliefs. According to popular belief, soap was not simply created for personal
cleanliness; rather, it was created to address other problems. Early on in the history of

textiles, colorful yarns were prized. However, because wool from sheep is naturally
grease-coated and makes dyeing difficult, soap was employed to get around this issue
(Warra, A. A. 2013).
Giddons (2009) asserts that bar soap may appear to be very simple and
ordinary. A bathing process of adding water, soap up, and rinsing off. Yet there are a few
benefits ready to surf up concealed inside the seemingly harmless bump. Our ancient
ancestors rapidly understood that maintaining the health of the skin is a strategy for
healthier and longer life since the skin is constantly exposed to outside influences like
the scorching sun, drying winds, biting cold weather, germs, and dirt.
Bar soaps work wonders to clean the skin. Moreover, soaps are inexpensive and
basic. These soaps provide decent lather that spreads across the skin and adheres to
the oil and debris to remove it. Nevertheless, they frequently remove too much oil from
the skin, depleting it of moisture. To replenish it, experts advise using a moisturizer after.
Soaps continue to be one of the most practical and essential hygiene tools that
humankind has ever invented, thanks to their beneficial medical uses, capacity to clean
garments, and ability to cleanse the environment from hazardous microorganisms and
dirt.
Beckam (2022) stated that they compensate for the strong cleansing of coconut
oil by using olive oil (which has a high conditioning value) for supervising that generated
the balance of cleansing power and moisture capacity of the soap. A good soap must
clean well but not excessively, because excessive cleaning of the deeper skin surface oil
causes the skin to become dry. The term "lather" describes the foam or froth that

this effect. The main factor that serves as a guide is the aesthetic effect (Musti, 2022).
According to Kallen (2019), the oil transforms into salt when coupled with an
alkaline metal solution. The soap's chemical composition destroys the bacteria and filth it
contains by creating rings around individual droplets. When you wash your hands with
soap, the micelles already present in the soap break up the particles of filth, grease, oils,
and disease-filled waste that have accumulated on your hands. Since the chemicals are
constantly in an active state, these micelles then get better over time as the soap is used
more frequently, making it simpler to lather the soap up and cleaning it more effectively.
hydrophilic on the other—soap has the potential to clean. The soap can demonstrate its
cleaning power due to its dual polarity (Sibanda, N. R., Nyathi, J. A., & Ndlovu, L. N.,
2022). Because contaminants are deeply embedded in the skin, the washing procedure
will help remove fat from the skin. Due to this stance, it has been assumed that soap's

inclusion of essential oils in them, as well as their calming effects on the skin. Yet, some

Cleansing is the ability of soap to remove dirt and oil from the skin. It is the most
critical property of soap, as it is why most people use soap in the first place. Hardness is
an essential property of soap because it determines its duration. If soap is too soft, it
does not last long, so users need frequent replacement. On the other hand, too-hard
soap is difficult to use and may cause skin irritation. The perfect hardness for soap is
somewhere in the middle. The amount of fatty acids in the soap determines the soap’s
hardness. The more fatty acids, the more complex the soap (Anonymous, 2023).
Soap made with too much Lauric and/or Myristic Acid such as coconut and palm
oil, can irritate the skin by washing away not only the top dirty layer of oils, but also the
protective layer of surface oils on the skin. Generally speaking, keeping the total of
coconut and palm kernel in our recipe to no more than 30-35% we keep the cleansing in
the proper range. However, we compensate for the strong cleansing of coconut and
palm oil by using olive oil (which has a high conditioning value) for superfatting (Beckam,
2017).
Soaps made out of harder fats and oils last longer than those made out of softer,
liquid oils. Saturated fats give soap hardness that helps it last longer. Common saturated
fats that are used are tallow (which is beef fat that is a by-product of the meat industry

The soap's soothing scents, which aid in relieving anxiety and depression by
calming the mind, have additional positive benefits. They are especially helpful for ladies
who use makeup as they aid in thoroughly removing it since they may be used to
moisturize dry skin, soften it, and clean it well. ("Aromatherapy Soaps", 2009). Even with
the highest recommendation, some scents don’t make it through. Cold process is a
Many essential oils tend to fade faster than fragrance oils and many essential oils
simply don't get used in our recipes because of scent fade. Some of them don't even
make it through the first 5 days of the soap being made. It's common for essential oils
like Eucalyptus or any Citrus scents to fade very quickly (Alarie, 2021). According to
studies by Alarie (2021), scent fade is very normal in bar soap. Additionally, it has been
shown that citrus odors typically dissipate extremely rapidly. The aroma is not properly
cured before usage, which is another reason why it could not persist long enough in
soaps. In order to include the soap's natural scent and ensure that it lasts a long time, it
is advised to let it cure for at least one month (Bramble Bery, n.d.).
Sanfilippo (2023) claims that scent has a profound emotional connection and can
consumer interest in a product. This is due to the fact that simple aromas like citrus and
pine don't require much mental effort, allowing their brains to create associations with
images associated with these energizing scents. Additionally, certain people have more

issues, certain scents can influence a person's emotions based on how they make them
feel when they smell the fragrance. Additionally, the pleasant feelings that arise from
aromatic pleasures have the power to affect evaluations and add noticeably greater
beauty ratings. According to studies by Holland et al. (2005), the fragrance of a cleaning
process (in this case, a citrus aroma) boosted actual cleaning behavior and made the
task's idea simpler to comprehend conceptually. Previous research has connected color

making process enhances the likelihood of soda ash production. To prevent this, the lye

Deodorant soap is a cleanser that has been designed to assist decrease body
odor. While all soaps cleanse the skin, deodorant soaps are developed to both remove
germs from the skin and slow their development. The deodorant soap reduces the
source of offensive odors by regulating germs. Body odor is generally brought on when
bacteria from the skin interact with sweat. The sweat is started to be broken down into
foul-smelling metabolites by the bacteria. When someone uses deodorant soap to wash,
the antiseptic components eliminate any existing germs and prevent their development.

Anatomically, the fruit consists of two distinct regions, the pericarp, also called

● Natural Glowing Agent for the Skin. Orange peels are a fantastic source of
vitamin C, which naturally promotes bright skin. Nothing beats an orange peel
face pack for bringing out the natural radiance in your skin.
To support this, another study by Badwar et al. (2019) stated that economically
citrus fruits are at the top in overall output. The finest source of vitamin C, which is good
for well-being and glowing skin, is this fruit. Nevertheless, the great bulk of the
advantages of an orange lie in its skin itself. The skin of orange fruits contains terpenes
called flavonoids and limonoids, which contribute to the fruit's distinctive aroma (Jadhav
et al., 2019). The abundant nutrients and antioxidants in orange peel protect your skin
from becoming too oily or dry. It also functions as a toner when applied to the skin,
clearing away debris and dead skin cells and constricting pores. According to Lopa
(2022), oranges are a wonderful source of vitamin C and are very beneficial for the skin.
The enzymes in orange peel help to thoroughly cleanse the skin by removing dead
epithelial cells. The rubbing motion helps to speed up natural cell regeneration, giving
the skin a fresher, more youthful appearance. Orange peel powder aids in the lightening
of blemishes and dark spots. Orange peels are a natural bleaching agent that may be
used to lighten dark skin spots and eventually successfully remove them (Bains, 2021).
The use of orange peel brings a lot of benefits to one's skin. It ensures a quality
of benefits that will surely complement the needs of each individual. In addition to all
these benefits of oranges, these fruits have a distinctive aroma and sweetness with the
peel being the most aromatic part of the fruit. This will provide an extra aroma and
sweetness to leave on the body of the user. When used as a flavor, orange peel imparts
a strong, acidic taste to cuisine. The majority of orange types have sweet flavoring peel

that also has hints of pomegranate, raspberry, and bitterness. The main compound in
the fragrant mist is limonene, which can be collected from discarded peels and this will
at the same time enable the product to earn the aromatherapy characteristic. This
limonene, according to ACS Chemistry (2022), is used as the starting platform for the
scent to incorporate. Drying the peel and turning it into a fine powder will enable it to
preserve all the benefits and aroma the peel can contain thus, this Mandarin Orange
Synthesis
In daily existence, we use soap to wash dishes, clean clothing and maintain the
appearance of our bodies, noses, and eyes. Soap may be used in a broad range of
manners in our everyday routines. One of its fundamental principles is to make our
home a better place to live and work. Bar soaps are fantastic for cleaning the skin.
Moreover, soaps are cheap and straightforward. These soaps produce a respectable
lather that sticks to the oil and dirt to remove it while spreading throughout the skin.
In connection with the primary characteristic of our soap, which is being aromatic,
aromatherapy is a remedy that employs fragrant essential oils, scented soaps, and
process. Orange peel may be processed into high-quality goods and contains
components that have potential value. The powder that is produced after drying the peel
is an excellent component for skin care since it has anti-inflammatory and germicidal
qualities. This will provide the soap scent in addition to acting as a secondary

For the first stage, the melting of the lye must be done in a ventilated area. For
precaution, gloves and other protective clothing were worn. Afterward, distilled water
was prepared, measured in 114 ml, and poured into a big enough basin to
accommodate a large amount of water. Lye was therefore opened safely before mixing it
with water. The heat then dissipated over the following four hours without a cover or lid.

Then, for the second stage of mixing, tools such as a rubber spatula, surgical
gloves, an electric mixer, a plastic basin, measuring cups, weighing scale, plastic
spoons, a soap mold, and a soap cutter were prepared and cleaned for utilization. With a
rubber spatula, the three oils—75 ml of canola oil, 150 ml of coconut oil, and 75 ml of
olive oil—were combined before being added to the rest of the ingredients.
Afterward, the Lye Solution was carefully added to the oil mixtures. The solution

the mixture into the mold and then it was set aside for 24 hours and let it set.
The following day, the same process from dissolving the lye to mixing it with oils
was repeated but the activated charcoal was added into the mixture this time. By using
the spatula, the charcoal mixture was poured above the mandarin orange layer of the

popularly known as lye, the oils used are coconut oil, olive oil, and canola oil, and no
additional substances in the form of foam boosters were applied. The foam created on
the soap may be derived from the oils used in the soap recipe following with the sodium

but was not particularly eye-catching. Four among the five color variables were said to
be "Liked A Little," but only the two-toned variable was said to be "Liked A Lot." The
findings aligned with Parente and Ares' (2020) study, which found that the visual
appearance and scent of soap can trigger expectations and associations in consumers'
minds, which largely influence their decisions and shape product experience.
The researchers utilized natural colorants to make the pigment and generate the
color of the soap for this study. The first was made using activated charcoal, which
naturally produces black color and showed the purpose of the soap. The second color
was orange, which comes from natural orange mandarin orange peel powder. According
to Kelsey (2015), natural colorants tend to be a bit more muted than other colorant
possibilities; therefore the orange color was a little milder in contrast to other colors.
Furthermore, Gatti et al. (2014) showed in their experiments that participants regarded
the color of the soap as the strength of the soap's smell, which was partly related to the

Sanfilippo (2023) claims that scent has a profound emotional connection and can
eventually affect individuals. We interpret the buyers' "Liked A Lot" reaction as a positive
indicator since Washington State University discovered that basic odors, as opposed to
complicated aroma mixes, are significant motivators for individuals to become more
interested in the product. This is because simple odors like citrus and pine don't need
much mental thinking, allowing their brains to construct visuals connected with these
fresh scents.
Furthermore, some people are pickier with smells because here is where they
would most likely base the product's level of cleaning efficacy and skin improvement

According to the findings, the aromatic deodorizing soap is "Liked A Lot" by the

hardness of the soap is determined by the amount of fatty acids in it. The higher the fatty
acid content, the more complex the soap. It is also said that the type of fat used
influences the hardness of soap, however, the ideal hardness of soap is somewhere in
the center. That is why the researcher combined hard fats with soft fats such as olive oil
to get the necessary degrees of hardness for the soap. Beckam (n.d.) claimed that a
good quality soap must be hard, and the low iodine value of the soap contributes to the

Mean and Standard Deviation of Aromatic Deodorizing Soap in Terms of Lasting Rate
The result shows that the aromatic deodorizing soap is found to be “Liked A Lot”
by the respondents in terms of the lasting rate. All the variables under lasting rate got an
exemplary mean above 4. It proved that the hardness quality of the soap reflected on
how well the soap will last. According to Reusable Nation (2019), the type of soap make
a difference to how long it lasts because soaps made out of harder fats and oils last
longer than those made of softer, liquid oils. Saturated fats give soap hardness that
helps it last longer. Given to what they have studies, coconut oil, which was one of the
oils used by the researcher for this experiment, is considered to be one of the saturated
fats that exists that actually helped to develop the hardness and long-lasting of aromatic
deodorizing soap.

that there should be just the right amount of frothy lather since too much soap is bad. In
contrast to certain soaps that contain foaming chemicals like lauryl sulfate, cocamide,

Similar to the visual of an opal, the soap’s appearance is said to be vivid but with
a hint of white blended with it. It is not totally that vivid especially in the orange part as it
shows signs of grey to white tones. The explanation for the soap's ashy appearance is
that soda ash is produced when unsaponified lye combines with atmospheric carbon
dioxide. The finished bars are unaffected, and the soap is safe to use. It normally
appears on top of the soap, but in certain instances, it can flow all the way through and
However, according to Jaimie (2020), the quantity of water used to make cold-
process soap significantly affects whether or not soda ash will end up on your soap. It
has been shown that the probability of producing soda ash when making cold-process
soap increases as water usage increases. The lye water solution and oils should be
blended at room temperature to avoid this. Increasing the proportion of oils in the mix
that delay trace, such as olive oils, is another approach to prevent this but because a

The result shows that the aromatic deodorizing soap is found to have an

This means that the fragrance of our product is said to have enough amount of fragrance
According to studies by Alarie (2021), scent fade is very normal in bar soap. The
aroma gradually begins to leave a solid bar of soap over time; this is just what happens.
Additionally, it has been shown that citrus odors typically dissipate extremely rapidly.
The aroma is not properly cured before usage, which is another reason why it could not
persist long enough in soaps. In order to include the soap's natural scent and ensure
that it lasts a long time, it is advised to let it cure for at least one month (Bramble Bery,

The result shows that the aromatic deodorizing soap is found to be “Hard” in the
first trials but becomes "Less Dense" after several uses in terms of hardness. This
means that the hardness of our product is said to have less amount of hardness.
The amount of fatty acids and oils used in the formulation can significantly affect
the hardness of soap, according to a study that was published in the International
Journal of Technology in 2021. The coconut, olive, and canola oils that were used to
produce the soap may be used to explain this. Coconut is a saturated fat that has a

In the words of Kallen (2019), when combined with an alkaline metal solution, the
oil degrades into salt. The chemical composition of the soap breaks down the dirt and
germs it contains by forming rings around individual droplets. The micelles that are
already present in the soap split up the particles of grime, grease, oils, and disease-filled
waste that accumulates on your hands when you wash them with soap. These micelles
then improve over time when the soap is used more frequently since the chemicals are
continually in an active state, making it easier to lather up the soap and clean it more

that are harder often last longer in the shower. A more rigid bar of soap can be produced
by using additional hard oils. Hard oils are oils including palm oil, coconut oil, beeswax,
and palm kernel flakes that are solid at room temperature. Generally speaking, a firm bar
of soap would include 60 percent or more hard oils. Coconut oil was the only hard oil we
utilized for this experiment. In general, a harder bar results from using harder oils.
Harder bars often survive longer, as was already indicated (Small, 2020).
The shelf life of handcrafted soap varies. The type of oils used and how they are
kept have a big impact. Soap that is kept in cold, dark locations ages well, much like
great wine or cheese. The soap becomes softer and tougher with time, extending its use
in the shower (Durant, 2023). When wrapped in tissue or a cardboard box, cold-process
and hot-process soaps can be kept in storage for at least a year and possibly longer.
Since the soap must be free to evaporate, airtight containers are not advised. The

The results imply that the homemade aromatic deodorizing soap has no
significant difference among the treatments in terms of lather. This is an indication that
the amount of activated charcoal and mandarin orange peel powder doesn’t affect the
quality of the soap’s lather. Since the ratio of the oils and lye used was consistent
throughout the different treatments, the lather remained to be consistent too even though
different amounts of activated charcoal and mandarin orange peel powder were added
to different treatments.
The term "lather" describes the foam or froth that detergent produces when it is
rubbed or agitated in water. Even though soap doesn't operate that way, you can tell
which regions are clean and which ones aren't because to this effect. The main factor
that serves as a guide is the aesthetic effect (Musti, 2022). Water and soap create a
lather due to the tension created between both elements as they mix. Then, small
bubbles start appearing when the air begins displacing water molecules, releasing
surface tension in the process. Thus, we can say that lather is small bubbles “packed”
deodorizing soap contains coconut oil as one of its bases, a generous amount of lather
was created and this aligned with what Anderson (2021) has said. She proved that
coconut oil is a very popular soapmaking oil because it helps create hard bars with fluffy
and stable lather and this explains why the lather is consistent between each treatment.

Additionally, the colors of soap are complementary to the supposed fragrance (N-
Essentials, n.d.). Aligned with the findings of Jan (2021) activated charcoal can give the
soap a marvelous deep black color. This natural soap colorant looks especially nice in
your soap as it contrasts well against other brighter colors and support. Activated
charcoal is a popular ingredient to include in soap and other skin care products, because
of its power to draw impurities from your skin. Multicolored or multicomponent soaps

According to a different study done by the Social Issues Research Centre, a non-profit
organization that conducts research on social and lifestyle issues, certain scents can
influence a person's emotions based on how they make them feel when they smell the
fragrance. Additionally, the pleasant feelings that arise from aromatic pleasures have the
power to affect evaluations and add noticeably greater beauty ratings. However, people

tend to rate things lower when they smell something they don't like. This demonstrates
clearly that the use of fragrance or additional perfumes in a personal care product like
soap serves more than one purpose. But unknowingly, diverse scents have a far more
significant impact than that. One of them is to give customers a pleasurable experience,
which encourages them to develop positive feelings and may lead to a greater view of

indication that the quality of the soap’ cleansing ability has been consistent throughout
The cleansing ability of soap is due to the chemical structure of soap molecules,
where one end is lipophilic and the other is hydrophilic. This dual polarity enables the
soap to exhibit its cleaning ability (Sibanda, N. R., Nyathi, J. A., & Ndlovu, L. N., 2022).
The cleansing process will contribute to removing fat from the skin because the
impurities are embedded in the skin. This position has led to the assumption that soap’s
cleansing ability and ability to dissolve fats and remove them from the skin must be
closely correlated. Consequently, methods for evaluating the cleansing ability of soaps
are mainly based on the study of their ability to remove fat. (Klimaszewska, E.,

The results imply that the homemade aromatic deodorizing soap has no
significant difference among the treatments in terms of lasting rate. This is an indication
that the ratios of oils, lye, and water used were the correct amount that made the soap
last well as it produced enough lather for cleansing ability while being used throughout
combinations of different vegetable oils, essential oils, and plant extracts to produce
various herbal soaps. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is a paucity of
botanical sources may be effective in enhancing the lasting rate and overall quality of
natural soaps. (Adigun, O., Manful, C., et al. 2019). The lasting rate of bar soap is based
on fragrance loss, color shift, or rancidity. Our standard shelf life for all bar soaps is 30
months. While bars will lose some weight, fragrance, and slightly discolor over time, in
theory, soaps will be safe to use and functional for their entire existence (David Rose,

owing to the color's lack of vibrancy. The unusual visual of the soap on its two-toned
color received the highest rating for likeness, indicating that anything new in the eyes of
customers captures their likeability. It was determined that the manner in which the soap
is exhibited influences the consumer's perception of its aroma since the fragrance
findings aligned with the color results. Because the color received a "Liked A Lot"
response, the fragrance received an identical response. As a result, it is possible for one
to speculate that the visual look of the soap might elicit expectations and connections in
the minds of individuals using it, which greatly influence their decisions and form product
experience.
The hardness quality of the soap corresponds to the soap's lasting rate

saponification procedure of the soap is primarily responsible for its hardness and lasting
rate quality. Saponification will only succeed if the ratio of oils, water, and lye employed
is correct and the soap has cured properly. Because of the fatty acids in coconut oil, it
helped generate the necessary degree of hardness for the soap. Given the less dense

regard to the variables inclined with the soap. n terms of lather, the evaluation of the
product is found to have a foamy lather. This is due to the fact that the aromatic
deodorizing soap is primarily made of coconut oil and olive oil which is the main
component to create a rich, creamy, and bubbly lather. Lather is one of the main
characteristics that people look for in a soap and it is expected to be consistent from the
first use to the last. People absolutely love bubbly lather. Although we have come to
associate the cleansing properties of soap with the amount of lather it produces, this is a
misconception. A properly formulated and cured bar of natural soap needs no synthetic

In addition, the aromatic deodorizing soap has natural scents that can help
Due to the fact that it affects how long it lasts, soap's hardness is a crucial component. If

The product is found to be cleansing but has a faint odor in terms of cleansing
ability. Since most individuals use soap to clean their bodies, cleansing is its most
important quality. The cleansing ability of soap must be able to wash away oil and grime
from the skin. However, if it contains too much of a cleansing component, the oil-
grabbing component might irritate the skin by washing away both the protective layer of
surface oils on the skin and the top unclean layer. It's advantageous that the aromatic
deodorizing soap can eliminate oils, grease, and other undesirable substances without
