 Abstract

The purpose of this study, according to the researchers, was to inform individuals that

Ipil leaves extract, start by preparing the ingredients. Cut the banana peel into small pieces

and remove the leaves from the Ipil-Ipil plant. Then, use a mortar and pestle to mash the

banana peel and Ipil-Ipil leaves separately until they become extractable. Squeeze the mashed

materials using a cloth and collect the liquid in a container. Next, combine the extracts and

add cooking oil to the mixture. Transfer the resulting mixture into a bottle for easy
