Nowadays, people are focusing on herbal plants especially those who are common
in the environment. One of the examples are the malunggay (moringa) and calamansi
(calamondin) plant, based on research these plants are good for healing and treating
wounds and other skin infections. In this project the researchers want to make facial
soap out if it. People, researchers, scientists were focusing on medical plants because
they want to prove that there are plants that are effective against diseases especially
in skin.
According to Harrison (2009) most people know about the health benefits of a
malunggay plant but they are unaware of the fact that even this plant have several
medical properties and offer an array of health benefits that being packed with anti-

Lastly, owing to the side effects resulting from the usage of medicines and drugs,
herbal plants are being increasingly considered for the treatment of various diseases

properties the researchers planned to make these as facial soap for removing acne.

HISTORY
Malunggay (moringa Oleifera) has been used as herbal medicine in many cultures
which promotes general well being. Malunggay is also called a “miracle tree”
primarily for the various health benefits it can provide for almost all kinds of diseases
anad medical conditions. Moreover almost all of its parts have use- from its roots,
pods, barks, flowers and leaves. Malunggay is used for skin rejuvenation, the
malunggay is also used to wash sores, cuts, skin ulcers, wounds and other skin

Most people actively try to minimize the amount of toxins that enter their body.
They eat good food, they drink purified water, they breathe purified air, and some
even take added measures to detoxify their body. However, what many people don’t
realize is that toxins can be absorbed through their skin. No time is this more important
than when deciding what kind of soap to use. Given the industrious process used to
produce many of the commonly known soaps, it’s not a surprise that most
many of us would be better off avoiding. If you want to minimize the “casual toxins”
you and your family are exposed to, consider using organic soap. Many people have
sensitive skin that doesn’t respond well to chemically laden soap. By using organic
soap, you might be able to avoid, or at least reduce, the skin problems that are caused
by irritating chemical ingredients. Organic soap contains ingredients that are not, and
have not been produced with, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or pesticides. It’s
invaluable for those who suffer from chemical sensitivities (Edwards, 2016)
conventional soap will most assuredly dry your skin. Non-organic soaps usually do
not contain glycerin (a moisturizing agent). Unfortunately, many people wait until
itchy, dry skin is a problem before making the switch to natural soap. Using organic
soap has other benefits. First off, most organic soaps are cruelty-free, meaning they’re
not tested on animals. Purchasing natural and organic products is better for the
environment, too. Organic ingredients are grown without chemicals and pesticides,
both of which can pollute the water supply, air, and soil. Organic soap might not lead
the charge in saving the world but it supports the fundamental effort.
The Moringa tree has long been used for a variety of healing and health

It Acts As an Antioxidant
Just like your internal organs, your skin can greatly benefit from flushing out
toxins, and the power of the tree can be harnessed in Moringa Soap. The
astringent properties of the plant help to dry out infections and wounds and
have proven to be effective with killing germs, leaving skin cleaner and clearer.
Moringa is packed with over 45 types of antioxidants that will benefit your
