The researcher aimed to develop a product that will

minimize the expenditure of people using essential oil as

skin product.

Endless possibilities exist for making and using herb-

infused oils at home. Herbs are easy to grow in home

gardens or containers, providing an inexpensive and

plentiful supply for infusion.

Essential oils are concentrated extracts of various

plants. Practitioners use them in natural and alternative

health practices, such as aromatherapy and naturopathy.

Essential oils often have a much stronger smell than the

plants they come from and contain higher levels of active

ingredients.

An infused oil, also referred to as a macerated oil,

consists of a carrier oil that has been permeated with one

or more herbs. Some plants do not have much essential oil

contained in them, and in those cases, it is rare or

impossible to commercially find an essential oil for that

plant species. Infusing the herb into a carrier oil,

however, can be a suitable way to still use the herb for

aromatherapy purposes.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

This research is primarily concerned with the efficacy

of infused oil on faces in comparison to essential oil. Its

primary goal is to cut costs without sacrificing

effectiveness and quality.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This research focuses on the risks and concerns of

people using over the counter skin products such as

essential oils, primarily to those who have more sensitive

skins. This research addresses the problems and side

effects of over the counter essential oils which can affect

their health and skin. This study will help the problems

and effects of using OTC essential oils. Essential oils are

highly concentrated, while infused oils are much more mild.

Essential oil is so powerful that they should almost never

be applied directly to the skin. With this research, people

should not feel concerned. This product contains only

organic household ingredients that provides the same

benefits without using any chemical compounds. This product

will not only cut your costs but makes your skin safe and

healthy from potent chemical conservatory.
