INTRODUCTION
This Investigatory Project is all about using Marigold flower and other
who apply lotion made from chemicals on their skin regularly. This will provide
information on people that they can make an effective and affordable home
made moisturizing lotion made from natural ingredients instead of buying and
be harmful to skin. The study will also inform people that they can make their
own lotion that will prevent the skin in drying by means of using alternative
natural ingredients like local citrus fruits that will be available in rural areas
with financial incapability. This will also help the environment in managing
chemical use and recycling biodegradable products like citrus fruit peelings

SIGNIFICANCE, SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This study will benefit the consumers especially the poor as good
business venture to start with. Likewise, they will be benefited since the
effects of the Marigold moisturizer is the same as the branded and high
priced lotion, and at the same time they can be sure that it is purely
organic.
This will also help people save money because they can find the
