NAJMIATUL HUMAIRA BINTI SYAMSUL RIZAL SM SAINS DUNGUN

Currently, our community especially people who faces sunlight everyday having problem such as skin irritating caude of exposure to ultraviolet radiotion (UV). Also, we found dragon fruit remains significantly underutilized in the skincare industry, with its full therapeutic potential yet to be efficiently harnessed. The primary goal of this innovation is to develop a product that utilizes to solve skin irritating among students and adults.  


This project was developed through a systematic four-step formulation process. First, the base materials, consisting of shea butter and coconut oil, were melted together using the double boiler (tim) technique to ensure a homogenous mixture. Once removed from the heat, dragon fruit extract was integrated into the base and stirred until the color was evenly distributed. Subsequently, zinc oxide powder was gradually added as a protective agent, 
with safety precautions taken to avoid inhalation. Finally, the mixture was continuously stirred during the cooling phase to prevent the zinc oxide from settling, before being stored in a dark glass container in a cool environment to maintain its stability. We utilize the full benefit of Dragon Fruit so people can realize the full potential of the 
dragon fruit.  Other than that, we introduce that dragon fruit also can be an skincare ingredient.   


In conclusion, this innovation offers a highly efficient and sustainable solution for skin protection. By harnessing the potent antioxidants of dragon fruit, it not only soothes UVinduced irritation but also provides a cost-effective, organic alternative in the dermatological market.
