ABSTRACT
The Philippine health condition is very stable until now. In this manner,
we young boys and girls have to assist our government in any way in order
to improve our health condition through scientific discoveries and
innovations. Creativity and environmental awareness inspire our farmers and
households in maintaining a healthful living condition.
Hand sanitizers provide a quick, easy way to disinfect hands that are
not visibly dirty. It is used to prevent and avoid the spread of bacteria. The
different plants used in the study contained various natural chemical
substances. Some of these natural substances in plant such as the
antibacterial, anti fungal and antiseptic properties that make the tea tree oil
useful for treating fungi and bacteria and the aloe sap for cleansing the body
of a variety of toxins.
Results showed that such a herbal hand sanitizer was very effective in
preventing the spread of bacteria than the commercial ones. This could be
attributed to specific natural chemical components of herbal and such plants.
The importance of the study lays the fact that hand sanitizers can be
pronounced and produced from the cheap sources.
CHAPTER 1
• INTRODUCTION
Hand sanitizer is one of the important needs of the people right now.
It's being used in preventing the spread of diseases and bacteria.
2. What is the use of Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Oil in our output?
• HYPOTHESIS
• CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
PROCESS:
Gather the
ingredients, along
INPUT: with some bottles. I
like to "recycle" the
old bottles of hand
sanitizer.
Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera) is one of about 250 species of Aloes. The
Aloes are members of the Lily family and, therefore, are relatives of such
common plants as tulips, Easter lilies, and asparagus. Aloe vera is believed
to be native to the Mediterranean, but its exact native habitat is
unknown. In the Old World the aloes have had a long history of economic
use, and this species in particular has been carried around by people for so
long that its original habitat has been lost in history. In fact, some
taxonomists believe that Aloe vera is not even a naturally developed species,
but instead some ancient hybrid. This may, in part, account for the use of
two scientific names for the species.
In the past, leaves were sliced and laid on the skin to relieve itching
and to heal burns. Today it is claimed to work effectively on sunburns, minor
burns, wrinkles, insect bites, skin irritations, cuts and scratches. A “tea”
made from the dried sap of this species is said to make a good wash for
wounds and the eyes. Interest in Aloe vera’s healing properties has revived
in recent decades in respect to its use as a treatment for radioactive
burns. Today’s consumer may be familiar with Aloe vera because extracts of
its sap are found in many hand lotions and other skin care products.
The “aloe” of medicine is actually the compound aloin that is extracted
from the sap of Aloe vera. The major source of the raw sap today is the
Netherlands Antilles, the true aloe having been introduced there several
hundred years ago. Aloin is still used as a cathartic (strong laxative) in
various preparations. The cathartic properties of even the raw sap have
been documented for centuries. Historically, physicians commonly
prescribed aloe sap for “cleansing the body” of a variety of “toxins”. Applied
to an infant’s thumb, it was a sure way to stop thumb sucking.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
• RESEARCH INSTRUMENTATION
Ingredients
• Aloe Vera
• Rubbing alcohol
• Essential Oil
Materials
• Recycled bottles
• Bowl
• Measuring cup
• DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
And for us to be able to do this herbal hand sanitizer, we need to follow this
certain procedures:
• Process
• Gather a bowl, put six parts alcohol to four parts Aloe Vera gel
for it to be effective.
• Mix everything well, and begin dispensing into your little or large
size bottles for use. Now you can get fancy and make little labels and
give in a Christmas gift basket too. Just remember to keep it with you
for those times when a sink and soap are nowhere to be found.

This table showed the application of the Herbal Hand Sanitizer. Seven
different people tested the Herbal Hand Sanitizer in each trial. From the
results showed above, the product was able to portray or describe the
difference of our product.
CHAPTER 5
• SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
We concluded that Aloe Vera and Tea Tree oil can be used as the
main ingredient in making an antibacterial herbal sanitizer, different
essential oils to add fragrance in our output and with the help of
rubbing alcohol, we confident says that our investigatory project
became successful.
• RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Put an essential oil which has a good smell. It is for the sake of
your nose not to be irritated with the smell of the original
essence.
