Activity: Chemistry at home (Essay)

1. In this situation, what would you do If someone eats or used an expired product?
- What I would do if someone I know or saw accidentally ate or used an expired product is to
check the amount of expired food he/she ate and then check their situation on how they
reacted to the food if its not severe they can actually just treat it at home but if it they
reacted differently I would bring them to the hospital immediately, As for using an expired
product like expired skin care products and applied on skin or face research says that there
is still a chance that a product can perform well even though it is past its best-by date, and it
could also be possible that it may not work well like it should, But using expired products on
skin surely have risks that you should be aware it can cause infection to people who have
sensitive skin and are prone to getting rashes and other allergies etc. if this reaction
happened to your skin you should wash the area with mild soap and lukewarm water, apply
cream or lotion, if you know what kind of product that you are using that gives you an
reaction you should stop using it immediately.

2. How you determined If the product/s is fake or Counterfeits?


- You can actually detect or see if a product is fake just by observing the product, A product
will not be considered as original if it has grammatical and spelling mistakes, has poor
quality of products, no contact details, came from fake websites as websites that is not
authentic which means it also contains fake products, and flimsy packaging as good brands
and businesses takes a lot of care and they spend a lot of money on packaging to make sure
that they have a good quality product that can satisfy their customers, A product will also be
fake if it has flawed fonts or logos, if you are observant enough to check much like the
spellings it will be easy to detect which one is the original and to the one that is copied

3. Cite one article about the specific product that has counterfeits. How would you recommend to
the people that those products are fake?
- A specific product that I know that has counterfeits is the aloe vera gel skin product that Is
said to cleanse and can get rid of pimples and results soft clear skin, but people should be
wary because just like I said this product has many counterfeits, people that I would
recommend that these products is fake and state facts that you should keep in mind in
order to determine if an aloe vera gel product is fake or original is that the original aloe vera
gel has a darker color and more of a embossed design, while the fake one has a lighter
design, The original aloe vera gel has shining marks on the top, which are made in detail,
and when you glide your hands over them, you can feel the bumps of where the water
marks are, Some of this has a 98% aloe vera gel.
