Research Study. Laboratory Science High School. Cavite State<br/>University, Indang, Cavite. May 2019. Adviser: Ms. Arvie Grace B. Masibag.<br/>This study was conducted from November 2018 to January 2019 at Department of<br/>Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, Cavite State University. Specifically, the<br/>study aimed to: 1. determine the physical properties of the deodorant cream in terms of color,<br/>odor, texture and general acceptability; 2. determine the effectiveness of the produced<br/>deodorant cream with guava leaf extract and whitening ingredients against Pseudomonas<br/>aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis; and 3. determine the most effective treatments<br/>among the other treatments. Experimental research was used in the study. Making of deodorant<br/>cream, testing the inhibitory activity of the product against the said bacteria, and evaluation of<br/>the physical properties and general acceptability of the soap by the respondents were<br/>accomplished to gather data. The inhibitory activity of the produced deodorant cream against S.<br/>epidermidis showed a highly significant difference among treatment means which indicates that<br/>the amount of guava leaves extract and whitening ingredients affect the bacterial growth. On the<br/>other hand, inhibitory activity of the produced deodorant cream against P. aeruginosa showed<br/>significant difference but not that significant compared to S. epidermidis.<br/>In terms of the deodorant's inhibitory activity against S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa,<br/>Treatment 8 (5mL of 20 guava leaves extract + honey) is the most effective among all the other<br/>treatments. Based on the observations of the thirty randomly selected respondents who<br/>evaluated the products, with regards to the color, Treatments 0 (control treatment), 1 (5mL of 10<br/>Guava Leaves), 2 (5mL of 10 Guava Leaves+ Oatmeal), 4 (5mL of 10 Guava Leaves+ Lemon<br/>juice), 6 (5mL of 20 Guava Leaves) and 7 (5mL of 20 Guava Leaves+ Oatmeal) were<br/>interpreted as white, Treatments 3 (5mL of 10 Guava Leaves+ of Honey), 8 (5mL of 20 Guava<br/>Leaves+ Honey) and 9 (5mL of 20 Guava Leaves+ Lemon juice ) were interpreted as warm<br/>ivory while Treatments 5 T5 (5mL of 10 Guava Leaves+ malunggay) and 10 (5mL of 20 Guava<br/>Leaves+ Malunggay) were interpreted as parakeet green. In terms of odor, all treatments were<br/>pleasant except Treatment 10 (5mL of 20 Guava Leaves+ Malunggay) which was unpleasant<br/>and Treatment 0 (control treatment) which was interpreted as very pleasant. In terms of texture,<br/>Treatment 0 (control treatment) was interpreted as very smooth while the other treatments were<br/>interpreted as smooth. For general acceptability, all treatments were acceptable except to<br/>Treatment 0 (control treatment) which was interpreted as highly acceptable.
