AMIRAH YASMIN BINTI SAPIAN SMK DATO' AHMAD MAHER

The rice soap bar is a solidified form of the starchy excess liquid from blended rice. We created the rice soap bar because it can be used more than once and can be stored easily, and it is ensured that it can last longer. The soap bar is also easy to carry while travelling and it is less likely for mould to grow on it. To make it, heat one cup of soap base until melted. Then, add 4 tablespoons of rice milk, 1 tablespoon of shea butter, and 1 tablespoon of almond oil into the melted soap base. Make sure to mix it thoroughly. Once the mixture has cooled down, add 2 drops of lavender essential oil and 2 drops of peppermint essential oil and mix again. Once the essential oils and the soap mixture are mixed thoroughly, pour the mixture into a mold. Spread out the mixture to an even level. Then, let it cure in a cool and dry place for at least a day. Once it has hardened, remove the soap from the mold and shape it into rectangles with a knife. Now, the soap is ready to be used while you shower to moisturise and brighten your skin, and get rid of any existing acne. After the product was tested on our skin, it shows that the rice soap bar has many beneficial effects on the it. As an example, the shea butter contained in the rice soap bar softened our skin. Other than that, the sweet almond oil also increased the elasticity of the skin and reduced the subtle wrinkles on our face. In conclusion, the soap has many more benefits compared to its original form, thanks to the additional ingredients in the soap bar. The solid form of it is also very convenient for everyone to use.
