Introduction
Skin diseases present a significant challenge in healthcare due to their diverse manifestations,
underlying causes, and impacts on quality of life. These conditions range from common issues like
acne and eczema to more severe disorders. Skin diseases can be caused by genetic factors,
complex. Symptoms vary widely, from mild rashes and itching to serious complications requiring
advanced medical intervention. Understanding these diseases involves thorough research into their
etiology, symptomatology, and effective management strategies, which is crucial for improving
patient outcomes and developing targeted treatments. The medicinal plants are used for various
diseases because of their safety and effectiveness. The problem of microbial resistance is growing and
the outlook for the use of antimicrobial drugs in the future is still uncertain. Therefore, actions must
be taken to control the use of antibiotic, to develop research to better understand the genetic
mechanisms of resistance, and to continue studies to develop either synthetic or natural new drugs.
According to Normah and Zuryati (2015), Guava, which is high in vitamins and antioxidants, has the
capacity to nourish the skin, while Calamansi, a citrus fruit, is known for its brightening and
clarifying properties.
Guavas offer a range of health benefits, making them a valuable addition to any diet. Rich
in essential nutrients like vitamins A and C, guavas provide a significant boost to immune function
and overall health. Consumers who are concerned about their health are driving the need for natural
and sustainable skincare products in the global market. Because of this tendency, body scrubs—which
Paaralang Sekundarya ng Lucban Integrated
School
have exfoliating and rejuvenating properties—have become crucial parts of personal care regimens.
Growing interest in using natural components, especially those derived from tropical fruits, has
resulted from the search for eco-friendly and effective skincare solutions. In this regard, guava and
calamansi have attracted recognition for their potential skincare advantages. Guava is well-known for
its regenerating qualities. It is high in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and other nutrients. The tiny
citrus fruit known as calamansi is highly valued for its whitening and exfoliating properties. Putting
Natural and sustainable skincare products are becoming more and more popular worldwide
as people look for more environmentally friendly and healthful substitutes for synthetic goods. Body
scrubs are a popular category within this trend because of their exfoliating and revitalizing properties.
In light of these worries regarding the long-term impacts of synthetic compounds used in many
commercial scrubs on both the environment and skin health, there is increased interest in investigating
the potential of natural components, especially tropical fruits, for skincare products. Rich in health-
promoting chemicals, guava and calamansi have intriguing qualities for improving skin health. Guava
is well-known for having a high vitamin and antioxidant content, which may help with anti-aging and
skin renewal. Calamansi enhances these advantages with its inherent lightening and exfoliating
properties.
The increasing prevalence of skin diseases, alone with the growing conflict of necessitates the
exploration of natural and sustainable alternatives for skincare. While traditional treatments exist,
they may not always be effective or may be accessible, and the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
further complicates treatment. At the same time, consumer demand for natural skincare products is
rising. Confluence of factors creates a need for research into the potential of natural ingredients, like
guava and calamansi, to address skin health concerns and offer a viable alternative to synthetic
products and potentially harsh chemical treatments. Specifically, this research aims to investigate the
efficacy of a body scrub formulation utilizing guava and calamansi in promoting skin health and
addressing common skin issues, offering a potential solution that is both natural and effective.

Statement of the Problem
The primary aim of this study is to develop the Potency of Guava Leaves Extract and
Calamansi Peels as Cosmetic Formulation of a Guava skin hydration and reducing skin dryness, in
comparison to a standard body wash scrub. In relation to this, the study seeks to answer the following
research questions:
1.1. Age
1.2. Gender
2. What are the physical properties of the body wash scrub in terms of:
2.1. pH Level
2.2. Viscosity
2.3. Color
2.4. Shelf-life
3. What is the level of acceptability of formulation made from guava leaves and calamansi peels
3.1. Odor
3.2. Washability
Hypothesis
A cosmetic formulation made from guava leaves and calamansi could provide considerable
skin advantages due to the unique properties of each. These leaves are high in vitamin C and
flavonoids, which function as antioxidants. They also include anti-inflammatory components that can
help reduce skin irritation, protect the skin from free radical damage, and promote skin regeneration.
Guava leaves also contain antimicrobial chemicals, which help prevent skin infections and promote a
brighter complexion. In contrast, calamansi, which is high in vitamin C, is well-known for whitening
and exfoliating the skin, therefore lightening darker spots, enhancing texture, and decreasing wrinkles

Although it is understood that skin dryness initiates the formation of fine wrinkles, there are few
objective reports to support that understanding. The purpose of this study was to establish an in vitro
dry epidermal model using reconstructed human epidermal equivalents (RHEEs) and to elucidate the
relationship between skin dryness and alterations of the dermal matrix which is one of the causes for
the formation of wrinkles. An in vitro dry epidermal model was prepared by loading a CaCl2-filled
ampoule on the surface of an RHEE. To evaluate whether the in vitro model reproduced the
characteristics of in vivo skin dryness, histological studies and biological assays using a protein array

were carried out. Histologically, a distinct fluorescence which originated from carbonylated protein
was observed in the stratum corneum (Mariko Yokota and Satoru Hashimoto 2017).
Skin hydration is a complex process that influences the physical and mechanical
properties of skin. Various technologies have emerged over the years to assess this parameter, with
the current standard being electrical probe-based instruments. Nevertheless, their inability to provide
detailed information has prompted the use of sophisticated spectroscopic and imaging methodologies,
which are capable of in-depth skin analysis that includes structural and composition details. Modern
imaging and spectroscopic techniques have transformed skin research in the dermatological and
cosmetics disciplines, and are now commonly employed in conjunction with traditional methods for
comprehensive assessment of both healthy and pathological skin (Meha Qassem 2019).
Synthesis
Although some people are unfamiliar with in, Guava leaves extract is commonly used for
skin diseases. According to the study (Mane I.V.et al.,2018). Cosmetics are integral to daily routines
for both men and women, enhancing and altering the appearance of their skin. Guava leaves (Psidium
Guajava) offer numerous cosmetic benefits, including anti-acne cleanser, body scrub, lotion,
deodorant, toner, and face cream, according to a literature review (Nopi Salastri and Oktavia Rajevi
2022). The study extracted volatile compounds from calamansi peels (Citrus Microcarpa) in Malaysia,
the Philippines, and Vietnam using dichloromethane and hexane, revealing p-Coumaric acid as the
dominant free phenolic acid (Mun Wai Cheong 2021). This study established an in vitro dry
epidermal model using reconstructed human epidermal equivalents to understand the connection
between skin dryness and dermal matrix alterations, a key cause of wrinkle formation (Mariko Yokota
and Satoru Hashimoto 2017). Skin hydration is a complex process affecting skin's physical and
mechanical properties, with current standard instruments being electrical probe-based (Meha Qassem
2019). All of the studies used multiple methods and yielded different result, resulting in a wide range

The evaluation of the body wash scrub formulated with guava leaves and
calamansi peels revealed generally positive feedback from respondents, with an overall
weighted mean of 3.65 (Agree) and a standard deviation of 0.90, indicating moderate
consistency in responses. The most well-received aspect was the mild, earthy fragrance of
guava leaves, which was perceived as complementary to the refreshing scent of calamansi
peels (WH = 4.2, SD = 0.75, Strongly Agree). Additionally, respondents agreed that the odor
intensity of the scrub is well-balanced, avoiding overpowering or harsh smells (WH = 4.1,
SD = 0.73, Strongly Agree). These results suggest that the product delivers a pleasant and
harmonious scent experience that is not overwhelming.
In terms of scent longevity, respondents agreed that the combination of guava leaves
and calamansi peels creates a long-lasting fragrance that remains on the skin after washing
(WH = 4.0, SD = 0.89, Agree). Similarly, the scrub was perceived as effective in reducing
body odor and leaving the skin feeling clean and refreshed (WH = 3.82, SD = 0.53, Agree).
Notably, the low standard deviation (0.53) for this statement suggests strong consensus
