FORMULATION OF LEMOVERA DISHWASING LIQUID MADE
FROM ALOE VERA (Aloe barbadensis miller) EXTRACT
WITH LEMON (Citrus limon) SCENT
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
In recent years, the demand for natural and eco-friendly household products
has surged as consumers become increasingly aware of the environmental and
health impacts of synthetic chemicals. This growing trend has encouraged the
development of natural alternatives to conventional cleaning products, reflecting a
shift towards sustainability in everyday living. Dishwashing liquids are essential in
daily household chores, tasked with cleaning dishes, utensils, and kitchenware.
However, many traditional dishwashing liquids contain harsh chemicals that can
irritate the skin and contribute to environmental pollution. As a result, there is a
pressing need for safer, more natural cleaning solutions.
Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) is renowned for its soothing,
moisturizing, and antibacterial properties. These qualities make it an ideal
ingredient for creating a gentle yet effective dishwashing liquid. Its application in
cleaning products offers a milder alternative to the harsh chemicals typically found
in commercial formulations. Similarly, lemon (Citrus limon) is another vital natural
ingredient in cleaning products, celebrated for its grease-cutting ability,
antibacterial properties, and refreshing scent. The acidic nature of lemon aids in
breaking down oils and grime, enhancing the cleaning efficacy of dishwashing
liquids.
The formulation of Lemovera dishwashing liquid marries the beneficial
properties of Aloe Vera and lemon extract. This innovative product not only
provides a natural and skin-friendly alternative to chemical-laden dishwashing
liquids but also addresses consumer preferences for eco-conscious household
items. Despite the acknowledged benefits of Aloe Vera and lemon in various
applications, there remains a gap in the market for dishwashing products that
effectively combine these two ingredients. This study seeks to fill this gap by
formulating a dishwashing liquid that leverages the natural attributes of both Aloe
Vera and lemon for effective cleaning.

The primary aim of this study is to formulate Lemovera, a dishwashing liquid
made from Aloe Vera extract and lemon scent, and to evaluate its effectiveness as
a natural alternative to conventional dishwashing liquids. This research holds
significance as it contributes to the expanding range of natural cleaning products,
offering consumers a safer, skin-friendly option in place of traditional, chemical-
heavy dishwashing liquids. Furthermore, the findings may also guide future
developments in eco-friendly household solutions.
This study will explore the formulation process of Lemovera dishwashing
liquid, focusing on its physical properties, such as pH level, viscosity, and foam
stability. Additionally, it will assess the level of user acceptability concerning scent,
aroma, and texture. Finally, the study will investigate whether there is a significant
difference in acceptability among different formulations in terms of cleaning
efficacy.
