Abstract

INTRODUCTION
Pollution of waterways due to human activities results to the destruction of the marine environment.
Household activities, in particular, contribute to water pollution because of the chemical-based products used.
In this study, the researchers intend to determine the potential of aloe vera extracts as organic fabric softener.

METHODS
Experimental research was used. Several trials were made to identify the ideal formulation. The outcome of the
experiments was recorded in a journal.

RESULTS
From the trials, a formulation with fresh aloe vera extracts was determined. The formulation does not leave
residue on different types of fabrics as it softens all fabric types. Plant extracts may be used to formulate organic
household products.

DISCUSSIONS
Results show that aloe vera is not only useful for its medical properties but also for its moisturizing
characteristics. Preference to organic products, such as aloe fabric conditioner, may reduce risks of
environmental pollution and health issues of the users.

KEYWORDS: aloe vera, organic, fabric softener
