This study formulated organic shampoo bars using Kapok (Ceiba pentandra) leaf extracts with Ylang-Ylang (Cananga odorata) Fragrance. Through a quantitative method using true experimental design, the researchers addressed the three (3) scientific questions. In formulating the organic shampoo bar, the researchers adopted but modified the protocol from Dr. Edna Okuener. The formulation used a cold alkaline process by combining Kapok leaf extracts (1g), coconut oil (58.4g), and various additives like Glycerine (1.16g), Sodium Hydroxide (49%), Sodium Lactate (0.6g), Citric Acid (0.6g), alkaline water (51g), and Water-based Ylang-Ylang (35 drops). Thereafter, it was subjected to evaluation procedures to evaluate its irritation, fragrance, texture, pH level, and microbial properties. It was revealed that the formulated organic shampoo bar had not irritated the skin of the subjects. Also, after 6 attempts, the desired fragrance was attained by adding 35 drops of water-based Ylang-Ylang. Furthermore, the texture of being smooth and plain was achieved on the 2nd attempt by accelerating the stirring of the mixture. Additionally, its pH level of 14 indicates safe to use for the skin and the scalp because of the presence of citric acid as a pH balancer. Similarly, it has an APC result that is equal to 0, indicating its antimicrobial properties. Lastly, using the T-test, it was found that there is a significant difference between the control and treatment, meaning that the treatment is more effective since it did not irritate the skin, compared to the control which demonstrated an irritation after the 24-hour observation.
