With this, the researchers proposed a project that will help the people to maintain their natural beauty and confidence. The study determined the potential of Okra Soap to the residents of Calamba, Laguna who are experiencing acne and pimple problems. The researchers interviewed dermatologists around Calamba and conducted product testing with them. Prototype samples of the product were prepared and marketed to see if end- users would be interested to purchase. Okra is a vegetable available everywhere in the Philippines. It contains vitamins that can help the skin to be healthy. Okra soap is very affordable, cheaper than the price of other soap products. The business will be operated by the three business partners who will share on the capital, profits, and expenses. The business will grow since the target market are colleges and universities.
