CHAPTER 1 THE BACKGROUND and ITS SCOPE INTRODUCTION This study is about the Effects of different fruits in whitening

skin. It also deals in using natural ingredients for the soap to have better skin complexion, it tells you how to achieve great looking skin. Despite the old saying that beauty is only skin deep we assume that most people would like to look great-or, at a minimum better than they did the day before. We can say that using natural products is much better to use than other chemical products that may cause irritation in our skin. The main purpose of this study is to discover a new alternative soap at the same time to save money but with better results than those branded expensive soaps. We believe that this is something that we must not just take for granted or dont give more value in terms of cosmetic issues so we shouldnt trust easily to some cosmetic products. They are expensive but we dont know how it will react to our skin. So using natural product that are absolutely safer and cheaper than those branded but have more chemical compounds in it, we assure you better good looking skin. Use hypo allergenic cosmetics that suit your skin type and always wash them of f completely before you go to bed. If you are prone to breakouts, look for oil free formulation that are both non-acnegenic and noncomedogenic that our soap contains.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study was conducted to determine the effect of different fruits in whitening the skin. Specifically this study hopes to answer the following questions: 1. Which fruits will give the best effect in terms of whitening the skin? 2. Which is better to use in whitening the skin, fruits or other chemical brands?

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 1. To determine which fruits will give the best effect in terms of whitening the skin. 2. To determine which is better to use in whitening the skin, fruits or other chemical brands.

HYPOTHESES 1. Lemon, because it is loaded with Vitamin C and citrus acid, this citrus fruit is your best friend when it comes to skin whitening. 2. Fruits, because it is more safe and effective to use than other chemical brands.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY This study will aim to know the good and bad effects of different fruits on our skin so that we can use them as a replacement for the chemical substances that are being used to make soaps. Most of the soaps have chemical substances with it. If we can find an alternative for these, we can make our own cheaper and chemical free soap.

SCOPE AND LIMTATION OF STUDY This study was limited to a single factor experiment in randomized blocked design with many treatments. The changes in the skin were determined by the different types of fruit in whitening skin.

DEFINITION OF TERMS FRUITS- refer to the structure of a plant that contains its seeds which will be use in the study. SKIN refers to the outer covering of the body that we will whiten after the result of the experiment.

Chapter 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE On Fruits The term has different meanings dependent on context. In non-technical usage, such as food preparation, fruit normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of certain plants that are sweet and edible in the raw state, such as apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, berries and bananas. In biology (botany), a "fruit" is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries. Taken strictly, this definition excludes many structures that are "fruits" in the common sense of the term, such as those produced by non-flowering plants (like juniper berries, which are the seed-containing female cones of conifers.) On the other hand, the botanical sense includes many structures that are not commonly called "fruits", such as bean pods, corn kernels, wheat grains, tomatoes, the section of a fungus that produces spores, and many more. However, there are several variants of the biological definition of fruit that emphasize different aspects of the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits.

On Skin The skin is an organ that forms a protective barrier against germs (and other organisms) and keeps the inside of your body inside your body, and keeps what's outside of your body outside. Skin also helps maintain a constant body temperature. Human skin is only about 0.07 inches (2 mm) thick. Skin is made up of two layers that cover a third fatty layer. The outer layer is called the epidermis; it is a tough protective layer that contains melanin (which protects against the rays of the sun and gives the skin its color). The second layer (located under the epidermis) is called the dermis; it contains nerve endings, sweat glands, oil glands, and hair follicles. Under these two skin layers is a fatty layer of subcutaneous tissue (the word subcutaneous means "under the skin").
