ABSTRACT
soap that contains Watermelon juice extract with a purpose to increase the water levels
in our skin in combatting dry skin. The objectives of this project are to increase the
levels of hydration in the stratum corneum of the skin, the essential oil production of the
skin and to determine its capability of removing germs from the skin. This project used a
who used the Watermelon soap and another three volunteers for other brands of soap.
Results showed that the Watermelon increases the water levels in our skin and
increases the essential oil production of the skin significantly compared with other
brands. Additionally, the Watermelon soap can also remove germs from the skin.
TABLE OF CONTENTS

CHAPTER 1
Skin is the second largest organ in a human body and the largest in the
integumentary system. In fact, it protects our internal organ from our physical
environment and prevents excessive loss of water (KC Madison, 2003). Additionally, our
skin serves as the over-all protection or covering of our human body pathogens
(Elizabeth A. Grace, et. al, 2009). It is divided into three layers namely; epidermis,
Dry skin or xerosis is a common skin condition which results from lack of
moisture or water on the epidermis layer of the skin (Gray W. Cole, MD). According to
Cole, it can affect both males and females but more so in elders. Dry skin may arises
when the essential oils in the skin that serves as protection against water loss is
removed and scrub off thereby increasing the chance of skin moisture to evaporate,
(Cole, MD).Dr. Cole stated that there are several factors that can cause skin dryness in
individuals and among these are harsh soaps that contains synthetic chemicals which
can exuviate the skin from its oils. According to the study of Gunter Kampf and Joachim
Ennen (2006), they found out that frequent hand washing results to skin dryness and
roughness. Albeit having dry skin is pretty normal among the population, it can lead to
much more concerning and alarming diseases such as Atopic Dermatitis (eczema) if
ignored. .

Epidermis is the outer layer of the skin. As a result, this layer of the skin becomes
Staphylococcus epidermidis, which colonize the skin surface. In fact, our faces can
house over 500 million bacteria per square inch (Grace et. al, 2009). Moreover,
because our skin is diversified in terms of types, it became an opportunity for bacteria
which commonly numbers up to 1000 species from 19 phyla to turn it into their habitat
(Grace et. al, 2009). The commonly bacterial phyla are; Actinobacteria that makes up
seborrheic dermatisis and et cetera can be traced back into the emergence of arrays of
microbes residing in specific skin sites, (Grace et. al, 2009). Moreover, Grace et. al
(2009) postulated that the sebaceous glands in our faces, scalps, and backs produce
immoderate amount of oily sebum hence, becoming the perfect sites for lipophilic
considered to be the most abundant bacterium in human skin and plays a huge role in
the development of acne vulgaris or simply known as acne (Sarah Mollerup et. al,
2016).
Acne vulgaris (AV) is one of the most common dermatoses in humans and
emergence of this may vary in age and ethnicity, (S.M Gallitano, MD & D.S Berson, MD,
2017). 85% of adolescents and two-thirds of patients over 18 years old suffer this kind

Berson, MD (2017) in their study stated that acne has been correlated with higher levels
of depression, stress, anxiety and other psychological distress. Women with acnes are
and heredity. Acnes, one of the most common skin complications which can be caused
by hormones, genes, menstrual cycle and other triggering factors, affects 85% of people
at some time.
1.) How much can Watermelon soap hydrates the skin compared to other brands?
2.) How much can Watermelon soap increase the production of sebum compared to
other brands?
The main objectives of the study is to create a soap that can increase the
hydration level of Stratum corneum, increase the production of sebum/oils in the body,
and can remove germs from the skin. The researchers also hope to reduce and
eliminate the use of synthetic chemicals on soap by promoting natural ingredients in the
production of soap.

The scope of this study focuses on the skin benefits of using a handmade soap
that uses Watermelon Juice extract, Virgin Coconut Oil and Olive oil. This project will
have three volunteers who will be the one trying the soap and three volunteers for other
soap products who will be undergoing skin test to generate results. The researchers
would also distribute survey forms to Soap makers and Chemistry teachers in New Era
University to provide evaluation of the soap. This project will not cover any benefits not
related to skin or problems that do not have any relations to the subject focus of this
research.
Watermelon is the hottest Korean skin care trend right now (Abouarrage,2017).
Citrullus lanatus or commonly known as Watermelon comes from the Kingdom Plantae
very effective to use in hydrating and moisturizing the human body (Jessie Szalay,
2017). Due to its watery content, watermelon has a Ph level between 8.5 and 8.8. Aside
from this, watermelon contains array of minerals that are beneficial to your body and
moreover, to your skin and hair. It can also help your skin by making it supple and
12
plump. Despite of a large percent of water taking up watermelons, Neha Sedana (2016)
also adduced that this fruit also contains Cucurbita in E, Vitamin C, carotenoid
free radicals especially responsible for skin aging (Cepali et.al.,2017) Moreover, it has a
variety of vitamins aside from Vitamin C namely; Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B6 (Sedana,
2016).
Our bodies have tons of free radicals- molecules that have unpaired electrons-
that damage our cells which can be reduced by antioxidant. Sedana (2016) argued that
watermelon is very plentiful when it comes to Lycopene, the red pigment we commonly
found in fruits especially tomatoes and other reddish fruits. This lycopene has
skin tone and keeping wrinkles and acnes at bay (Sedana, 2016). Thus, it was possible
to conclude that Lycopene extract from watermelon pulp can be considered as a source
antioxidant can improve skin health and rejuvenate its appearance as well as,
are commonly used to anti-aging combat and the use of vegetable compounds such as
carotenoids are widely studied due to its anti-oxidant act in many system (Lademann
et.al.,2011). Sedana (2016) proposed that Watermelon is also very rich in Vitamin A
which reduces over production of sebum or oil in the body and reduces the size of
pores. Thus, watermelon can also prevent the outbreak of acnes in faces and bodies.
13
The juice of this fruit is natural astringent that helps in shrinking body tissues and
as a result, it can also be used as a toner to freshen our skin (Sedana, 2016).
Furthermore, the malic acid and citric acid in this fruit works as exfoliating agents that
leave your skin radiant and glowing. Aside from your skin, watermelon can also help
strengthen your hair as its seeds can prevent hair fall and breakage. The seeds of this
fruit are rich in protein thus, can make your hair appear lustrous, strong and healthy.
This also contains copper which is essential in production of melanin that provides your
hair its color, preventing you from having grey hair. Additionally, it provides moisture to
dry scalps.
Watermelons also have the amino acid glutathione that inhibits tyrosine in
producing melanin therefore lightening the complexion of your skin. This fruit can also
heal sunburns, blemishes, wounds and cracked lips. According to Chang (2017) as
mentioned that watermelon has seasonal benefits especially during summer. Chang
also stated that the watermelon fruit is used as a cure for rashes and irritated skin
because of its soothing effect, which she also mentioned as “Koreans’ well-known
soothing mask especially after being exposed to sun or during acne breakouts for teens.

and sensitive. Watermelon is a water-binding ingredient that can hydrate and nourish
Aside from watermelon, coconut oil and olive oils are vital ingredients of
watermelon soap. When it comes to beauty or skin care products, these two oils are last
or sometimes out of the list of the natural oils which give benefits to the skin. However,
Dermatologist, natural beauty devotees and a growing body of scientific studies are
misconceptions about the ability of coconut oil in treating the skin, especially when the
skin is oily or dry. They thought that oil shouldn’t be applied in the face because it will
just make the skin oilier and prone to acne-breakout. But, actually it’s favorable for all
skin types.
“Dry skin occurs when our skin lacks appropriate oil, resulting in rough, dry or
flaky skin. Applying nourishing oil like coconut oil topically helps restore the lipid barrier,
which reduces the water loss. Inhibits per oxidative and oxidative damage and improves
antimicrobial function… If your skin overproduces oil, applying nourishing oil helps
exfoliate skin because it breaks up and dissolves excess oil…” explains by Noelle, a
cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City,
coconut oil effectively treats the skin due to its natural fats components. One of these
natural fats is linoleic acid which is very beneficial for acne-prone skins and the lauric
acid for antimicrobial and hydration of the skin. Furthermore, studies show that the
15
coconut oil improves the skin barrier function and repair the skin. Also, it has anti-
inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It also fights the sign of skin-aging. Coconut
coconut oil is applied as a moisturizer it is as safe and effective as mineral oil. Coconut
oil is an effective and superior moisturizer for the face and body (Noelle, 2018).
Sullivan (2018) has written that Olive oil, according to the International Olive Council is
rich in Vitamins such as A, D and E. It also has antioxidants to prevent the damage
caused by ultraviolet radiation, it even moisturizes and hydrates the skin. Moreover,
acne-prone skin needs olive oil to decline the acne by fighting acne-causing bacteria.
Lavender oil is knowingly known as fragrance, but Lavender is more than just a scent,
because, the lavender oil helps cleanse the skin and lessen the redness and irritation,
lightens the skin, protects from free radicals, anti-inflammatory and heal acne breakouts
(Sullivan, 2018).
Watermelon, Coconut oil, Olive oil and Lavender oil have all the qualities needed
to create an effective type of soap. These ingredients will make the skin healthier, firmer

According to the studies of Susan Patterson (2016), virgin coconut oil exhibits
good performance on skin by moisturizing it or increasing the hydration level of skin and
several studies have been conducted to testify its ability to moisturize the skin.
Furthermore, this oil contains 85% lauric acid, the primary fatty acid that acts as the
Olive oil has been shown to have antibacterial properties. In one study, they
looked at the effect of using olive oil on Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on skin. The
results found that this oil exhibited antibacterial properties. Moreover, olive oil is a
popular moisturizer that is frequently used to relax both skin and hair.

believed to increase the hydration levels of the skin particularly the Stratum corneum

layer. To increase the water level in this layer, the sebum level of the skin has to
increase concomitantly. The presence of Virgin Coconut oil and Olive oil in the soap can
add moisture as well as oil to the skin, thus; alleviating the dryness or skin. Due to the
watery content of the soap, it helps in maintaining the acidity of the pH level of skin and
at the same time, increasing the pH level of skin enough to remove bacteria and germs.

Distilled Water
It is water that has been boiled into vapor and condensed back to liquid in a separate
container- a process known as distillation.
Virgin Coconut oil is oil that has been extracted without the application of heat,
therefore, its essential properties remains in the oil.

PROJECT CONSTRUCTION
Before conducting the process of making this watermelon soap, the researchers
consulted the website brambleberry.com to use its lye calculator as it is important that
the lye and water are in its specified amount. Any excess or shortage of lye may result
The first step in making the watermelon soap is the making of lye-water solution.
In making the lye-water solution, it is important that the researchers know and are able
to practice the safety precautions in handling lye because it is very dangerous and even
poisonous to our skin and internal organs. Thus, researchers are obligated to wear
gloves and eye protection glasses when handling the Sodium Hydroxide or Lye. After
making sure that the experimenter is fully protected from any hazards, he/she

proceeded in dissolving the lye into the water. The most important step here is that the
experimenter cannot pour the water into the lye instead; he/she will pour the lye directly
to the water. While stirring the solution, one should not use metals or wood in stirring
the solution instead, opt for stainless one. Moreover, it is also dangerous to inhale the
upgraded method in soap making called Water discount in which the water used in
dissolving the lye is reduced by a percentage of 10. In calculating for the water discount,
the researchers will just have to multiply the original water amount with 90% thus (3.30
oz x .9= 2.97 oz.). From its supposed amount of 3.30 oz, the new water amount is 2.97
oz.

In conducting the product test, the researchers have made it sure the safety of
the watermelon soap by conducting a pH test on it using a pH strip that would tell the
pH value of your soap. This method is commonly done in soap businesses. Normally,
the pH value of the skin is between 4.5-5.0 pH which varies depending on where a
person lives and anywhere between 6.0-10.0 pH value of a Cold-processed soap is fine
and normal since it is naturally alkaline or basic as long as it would not go beyond any
more than that, (soapqueen.com). In conducting the pH test, the researchers would use
a distilled water and rub the soap against his/her hand until bubbles formed. The
researchers would then put the pH strip directly to the soaped hand and wait until the
strip turned in another color. The result of the pH test showed that the soap is
somewhere in between 9 or 10 pH level and is safe to use according to the color seen
After assuring that the soap is safe to use on the skin, three human volunteers
from the research group who have dry skin would undergo a skin test or skin patch

then proceed to use the soap. However, before using the soap, the researchers would
analyze their Stratum corneum hydration levels and sebum excretion levels using Skin

The soap would be tested on the small region in their forearms to see if there are any
significant changes in the skin condition of the volunteer. This would provide the
researchers a result of using the nutrients from the watermelon juices and essential oils.
The researchers strictly monitored the hydration level of the skin and the amount of

The team was divided into different tasks. Each task given depends upon the
strength of each member to finish the task given. In product (soap) making, there are six
(6) members responsible in making the actual soap. The instruments and equipment
used were Sodium Hydroxide (Lye), distilled water, virgin coconut oil, olive oil, a
weighing scale, a clean container and parchment papers. The color of the soap may
depend on how much watermelon juice and oil is mixed in. It only took about 2 to 3 days
before the soap harden enough. To keep the soap clean and bacteria-free, the team
produces a box that perfectly fits with the soap. About the design of the box and logo,
there are four (4) persons assigned to do the tasks; the team asked them first if they
have knowledge in making designs. It only took a day in making the first design draft.
The colors used were vibrant and related to what color the watermelon and other
ingredients have.

SUMMARY
Skin dryness of Xerosis has been a complication among individuals until this day.
Albeit, this is a very common skin condition, improper treatment and negligence can
worsen this condition thus, resulting into skin diseases such as eczema and others. It
was revealed that the use of harsh soaps containing several chemicals bring damages
to our skin, scrap off the essential oils from the skin, hence, resulting to the dryness of
the skin. Moreover, the epidermis layer of the skin acts us the barrier and protection of
the internal organs from the harsh environment and with that being said, it is also the
primary habitat of several bacteria in the skin making it the primary reason of the
emergence of acne.
Harsh soaps that consist of synthetic chemicals are among the reasons that
aggravate the skin by removing its moisture and essential oils. Therefore, the
researchers created a cold-processed soap made up of all natural ingredients that are
healthy to the skin. The main ingredient of the soap is the Watermelon juice extract that
contains arrays of vitamins and nutrients which are good for the skin. Studies have

RECOMMENDATION
PARENTS
The safety of the children from the germs and bacteria are the utmost priority of
parents. However, regular soaps being sold in markets claiming they are antibacterial
pose more danger to children rather than cleanse the dirt from the skin. Those regular
soaps contains harsh chemicals such as Triclocarban (TCC) and Triclosan which can
affect the hormone levels of the body and increase the resistance of bacteria against
them. United States Food and Drug Authority have already banned the use of these
chemical agents. Therefore, by ensuring the safety of the family, use soaps that are
made up of natural ingredients which are proven to be safe and healthy to the skin and
possess antibacterial properties as well rather than the soap that contains list of harsh
chemical additives.
DRY-SKIN INDIVDUALS
Use of harsh soaps can worsen your skin dryness; therefore use soaps that have
natural ingredients such as Virgin Coconut Oil, Olive oil and fruits rich in water such as
Watermelon, to provide moisture to your skin and increase the production of essential
oils.
