This project investigates the sustainable production of chamomile soap using recycled cooking oil as the primary base ingredient. The aim was to create an eco-friendly, cost-effective soap by combining used vegetable oil with chamomile, known for its natural anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties. The process involved filtering and purifying used oil, then infusing it with dried chamomile flowers before undergoing the cold-process soap-making method using sodium hydroxide (lye). The final product was evaluated for cleansing ability, fragrance, texture, pH level, and skin safety. Results demonstrated that the soap had a mild aroma, good lathering properties, and a pH suitable for skin use, making it a viable alternative to conventional soaps. This project highlights the potential of upcycling waste oil into a value-added product, promoting both environmental sustainability and natural skincare.
