The study entitled “Production of Cream Deodorant from Calamansi (Citrus microcarpa) and Tea Tree (Malealeuca alternifolia) Oil” was conducted to make use of calamansi to prevent perspiration in the underarms. It aimed to: (a) determine the physical properties of produced cream deodorant out of calamansi and tea tree oil; (b) determine the acceptability of produced cream deodorant; (c) determine the best treatment combination. The study was conducted at Barangay Dos, Indang, Cavite from September to November 2003.
The treatments used in the study were: Tp (commercialized deodorant/rexona); T, (20% calamansi extracts + 80% tea tree oil); T (35% calamansi extracts + 65% tea tree oil), T3 (50% calamansi extracts + 50% tea tree oil); T, (65% calamansi extracts + 35% tea Tree oil); and Ts (80% calamansi extracts + 20% tea tree oil).
Highly significant differences among treatments were obtained. It was proven that 35% calamansi extracts + 65% tea tree oil was already as effective as commercialised deodorant in terms of preventing odorous molecules to our body.
