BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

This chapter presents the introduction and purpose of the study, the

history of the project, the proponents, proposed name of the business/project,

type of business organization and location of the proposed business or project.

Introduction

This study aims to give data and information regarding on how Eggplant

Soap can be profitable and meet the standard of quality, gentle, fragrance

hardness and moisturizing. This unique product aims to produce soap that has a

plant-based ingredients that helps the skin to be smooth, moisturize and being

environmentally friendly. Eggplant are the tender perennial plant of the

nightshade family and it is native in Southeast Asia particularly in India and China.

Eggplants are rich in fiber and antioxidants and can provide at least 5% of a

person's daily requirement of fiber, copper, manganese, B-6, and thiamine. It

also contains other vitamins and minerals. In addition, eggplants are a source of

phenolic compounds that act as antioxidants.

As the study goes along, the researcher noticed that the households and

residence of Brgy. Bagumbayan, Pililla, Rizal patronize the chemical based soap

that can cause skin irritation, dryness and redness. In other words, it can cause

chemical burns, in your eyes or on your skin. Aside from that they also noticed

that lots of eggplant are over supply and some of it are end up in garbage. The

reason why the proponents came up with this study is to provide plant-based
 soap that helps the consumer to used harmless, high quality and

affordable soap. According to Tabitha Britt, eggplants deliver some vitamin C,

which protects our skin and body from oxidative damage. Vitamin C also

prevents other signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots.

The production of soap is under the cosmetic industry, this industry is

getting bigger and stronger because of its demands and contribution to the

consumers physical health and skincare. Due to the increasing demand for

beauty care products across the globe, the worldwide cosmetics market is

experiencing significant growth. For these, the researcher recognize the

opportunity to sell plant-based soap because of its competitive opportunity to the

market.

Lastly, the objective of this study is to introduce a unique soap that has no

chemical or artificial fragrances that can suite to individuals with sensitive skin.

Furthermore, eggplant soap has a plant-based ingredients that makes an eco-

friendly choice, appealing to those seeking a more sustainable and gentle option

for personal care. Considering the factors such as ingredients, methods of

preparation, packing, quality of the products, and offers reasonable price will be

the key factors to attain customers trust and loyalty. Through quality

management, customer satisfaction will be achieved.

History of the Project

Eggplants originated in China and India and have been cultivated there for

thousands of years. The Spanish Moors introduced the eggplant into Southern

and Eastern Europe where it became very popular. The early explorers of the

New World introduced eggplant into the Americas in the 1500s, but the plant

never caught on. For many years, Americans were suspicious of the plant

because it belonged to the Nightshade family, of Deadly Nightshade fame.

Eggplants, tomatoes and potatoes all belong to this family and many Americans

thought the vegetables were poisonous.

In the 1848 two varieties are listed Large Purple and Early Purple. They

were described as eggplant or melongena as he called the plant in the following

way. This vegetable is a native of Africa. Eggplant skin benefits begins in ancient

India, where it was recognized as a medicinal herb long before it became a

culinary staple. They praised its ability to refine pores, balance skin oil production,

and promote a healthy complexion. As scientific research has begun to uncover

the specific components responsible for its healing properties, its popularity in

cosmetics has grown.

The researcher came up in this idea when there was an oversupply of

eggplant due to the excessive amount of spoilage caused by insects. Consumers

are increasingly seeking products that are gentle, sustainable, and derived from

nature. The eggplant itself possesses a compelling profile for skincare

applications. Rich in antioxidants, it combats free radical damage, which

contributes to premature aging and skin damage. These qualities, combined with

3
its vibrant purple hue and unique texture, make the eggplant an appealing

ingredient for soaps, and other beauty products. In essence, the idea of eggplant

soap is a product of proponents times, reflecting a convergence of trends a

growing preference for natural and botanical beauty products, the recognition of

the eggplant unique skincare properties, and a desire for innovation. While the

popularity of eggplant soap may not be as widespread as other natural products,

it highlights the ongoing exploration of the potential of the natural world and the

creative spirit that continues to drive new and unexpected innovations in the

realm of beauty.

Proposed Name of the Business

The proponents came up with the name "Hydra Sea" as the name of the

business. The word "Hydra" it is a short term for hydrating because the eggplant

soap purpose is to hydrate the skin of the consumer and since the eggplant is

rich in antioxidant that makes the users skin smooth, moisturize and gentle and

the word "Sea" it is the initial of the proponents name which are Sandara,

Emmanuel and Apple. It will be the trademark of the company for recognition to

the customers. Hydra Sea can be interpreted as one of the affordable plant-

based soap that can be offered to the market and gives the customer a high

quality product.

Emblem/Logo

Figure 1

Logo of Hydra Sea (Production of Eggplant (Solanum Melongena) Soap)

6
 The figure above represents the company logo of Hydra Sea. The

proponents came up with the idea of eggplant image in the center just to make

the logo easier to remember. The eggplant picture indicates the main ingredients

of the product and the water effect represents the sea. Also, the soap image in

the center indicates that it is a soap so that it is easy to recognize. The word Sea

is the initials of the proponents which are Sandara, Emmanuel, Apple.

Type of Business Organization

Hydra Sea is classified as a partnership type of organization which is

owned by three people specifically by Ms. Apple A. Manera, Mr. Emmanuel

Eslabon and Ms. Sandara Jade Benditahan. Since partnership is the

arrangement that allows two or more people to share responsibility for a business.

Specifically, Hydra Sea is a general partnership where all of the 3 owners are

responsible for the production, marketing, managing the business and financial

responsibilities. The three owners will share in all the profits and expenses of the

business. The proponents choose partnership because it is expensive to start a

business if it is only run by a single person.

Location of Proposed Business

The proponents decided to locate the business along 9113 Market Road,

Brgy. Bagumbayan Pililla, Rizal near to 7/11 and Alfamart store and walking

distance from Municipal Hall, Oval Park, Educational Institution, and other

Commercial Establishment. The chosen location has a 13,468 population and

represent the 18.83% of the total population of Pililla, Rizal. The business was

7
accessible in all types of vehicle for easy access and it is very convenient

because the business has a good spot for the customers looking for skin care

products.

Management Proposal

The proponents decided to use the democratic form of management style.

In this type of management, the workers are encouraged to participate in

decision-making and share their opinions which helps the business to grow. They

have the freedom to speak and share their ideas which can lead to innovation,

unique problem-solving processes, and creative solutions. This management

style is one of the most effective and leads to higher productivity, better

contributions from the workplace, and increased employee morale.

Hydra Sea is adapting this kind of management style to consider the

employees and the business to love their jobs and build team relationships.

Instead of controlling and underestimating the skills and ideas of the employees,

Hydra Sea is encouraging all to stay motivated and be creative for the betterment

of the business.

The proponents will implement the democratic style of management to

create open communication and transparency for the workers so that the working

environment can be healthy and no competition will happen. The goal of Hydra

Sea is not just about producing high-quality products but also producing a

workplace where there is a healthy relationship between the upper management

and lower-level employees.

16
Administrative Policies

Administrative policies are the set of rules, guidelines, and procedures

that govern the internal operations and decision-making processes of Hydra Sea.

This policy acts as a framework for how the business functions, ensuring

consistency, efficiency, and accountability in all aspects of its activities. Think of

them like a company's internal "rule book" outlining how things should be done

and what is expected of everyone involved. In short, these administrative

policies provide the structure, guidelines, and clarity needed for an organization

to run smoothly, ethically, and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

Policies as to Hiring

To guarantee that the best people are found, the company's employee

hiring policy outline should be followed. The hiring policy prevents loss of

opportunity, productivity, time, and money. For those individuals chosen during

the interview process, the organization will extend the company's employee

hiring policy guidelines, which should be adhered to ensure that the best

candidates are located. The company will make conditional job offers to those

selected during the interview process. The employment offer is based on the

employee accepting the company's policies, the outcome of the reference and

ingredients such as eggplant as the main ingredient and aloe vera that acts as

the source of vitamin A and vitamin E. The proponents decided to use the Calixto

F1 variety of eggplant since this eggplant is very beneficial for the skin due to its

high antioxidant and thus eggplant is rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C and

nutrient content. The proponents considering the use of aloe vera as

Wastes and Waste Disposal

Proper waste disposal is not just about cleanliness, it's about eliminating

the waste through segregation, recycling, composting, and landfill disposal to

protect the environment and public health. The proponents decided to collect and

separate the waste based on its properties such as biodegradable and non-

biodegradable. Since the eggplant calyx and aloe vera rind are biodegradable it

will go to disposal area where it will bury. The non-biodegradable plastic will be

disposed by garbage collector and the business will follow the day of collection of

garbage in the barangay. Through this proper segregation and waste disposal it

can reduce the pollution, conserve resources, and protect biodiversity.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY

This chapter presents how entities or stakeholders will benefit from the

proposed venture. This demonstrate business' contribution to the economy,

government, industry, and community.

Contribution to the Economy

The production of eggplant soap could contribute to the economy in

several ways. First, it would create jobs in various areas, from farming the

eggplants to processing them into soap and marketing the finished product. This

would directly boost the local economy by providing employment opportunities.

Second, using locally grown eggplants would support local farmers and

agriculture, increasing demand for the crop and supporting related industries.

This would help to strengthen the local economy and reduce reliance on outside

sources.

Contribution to the Government

The production of eggplant soap could contribute to the government by

means of paying legal requirements, license fee and taxes from their income.

The businesses involved in growing, processing, and selling the soap would pay

taxes on their profits, income, and sales.

 This revenue would help the government fund and will provide public

services like education, healthcare, infrastructure and etc. Next, the creation of

new jobs would lead to increased tax revenue from individual income taxes and

payroll taxes. Additionally, the eggplant soap venture could attract investment

and create new businesses in the area in the country.

Contribution to the Industry

The production of eggplant soap will maintain the supply of soap in the

industry. The contribution of Hydra Sea in cosmetic industry is to provide plant-

based soap, chemical free, and one of the most affordable plant- based soap in

the market. This could help the industry grow by giving customers more choices.

Plus, if the soap is successful, it could bring more attention to the industry

which would benefit other soap makers to.

Contribution to the Community

The production of eggplant soap, could create jobs and boost the local

economy by using locally sourced ingredients and generating income. It could

also promote local products and fostering community pride. Furthermore,

sustainable production methods could benefit the environment.

natural resources. A successful soap business could also make the community

famous, attracting visitors and investors, and making everyone feel proud of their

town.

soap to selling it. This helps them build skills that are useful in many jobs. The

university also benefits because this kind of project shows they're doing

important work that helps the community and the environment.

This study also helps everyone understand better how to write about new

product ideas. It shows how to study if a product will be successful and how to

explain that clearly in a report. This is valuable knowledge for students and

researchers who want to do similar projects in the future.

Contribution to the Students.

marketing and planning, and learn the importance of teamwork. It also teaches

them how to solve problems and think creatively. These are all valuable skills

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the perceived problems, conclusions and

recommendations.

Perceived Problems in Eggplant Soap Business

Starting an eggplant soap business presents both exciting opportunities

and challenges. As an innovative product, it requires careful planning and

strategic solutions to ensure success. Like any business, potential threats must

be addressed to achieve financial stability. The ability to thrive depends on

efficient operations, market adaptability, and strong customer engagement.

In line with this, several challenges may arise, such as:

1. Being new to the market, attracting and building customer trust may take time.

2. Dependence on eggplant supply, which may be affected by seasonal changes

and agricultural conditions.

3. Increasing costs of raw materials, which may impact production and pricing

strategies.

4. Competition from established skincare brands and other plant based soap

products.
Conclusion

The researchers determined that the eggplant soap business is highly

feasible, as it will be one of the first of its kind to be established in Pililla, Rizal.

After considering all factors related to its development and based on survey

results, many individuals support the creation of this business, recognizing its

benefits in promoting natural and plant based skin care. This project has the

potential to provide consumers with a healthier alternative to chemical-based

soaps while also supporting local agriculture.

Recommendations

Proper management is essential for the continuous operation and growth

of the business. Providing high-quality products and excellent customer service

will help build a strong reputation and ensure long-term success.

The proponents therefore recommend the following:

 Maintaining high product quality to gain customer trust and loyalty.

 Securing a stable and sustainable supply of eggplants to avoid production

disruptions.

 Strengthening branding and marketing strategies to increase public

awareness and demand.

 Fostering good relationships with employees and customers to create a

positive business environment.

93
 Continuously improving the product and services to meet customer

expectations and industry standards.
