problem, the event why you made
the product and the purpose of
your product. Make sure to use
cohesive or transitional devices.)

body, protecting from the harmful
rays of the sun or other tactile
incidents.
(Give the origin of the name of the

18. The researchers used the products
such as Baking Soda on the said –
investigatory project because it
contains alkaline that mostly helps to
release the carbon dioxide which
almost manifest oiliness on the skin. In
addition, Oatmeal is a gentle exfoliate
that evens the skins surface while oil is
being removed from the skins’ surface.
(Give a brief explanation of what you
had used on your investigatory
project.)

19. The researchers used the an
interview as a method because it
amplifies the research’s
effectiveness. Thus through an
interview, they may hear ideas why
their research is effective in some
cases.
(Give a brief explanation of you
method, choose either interview or a
survey.)

20. Statement of the Problem:
This product, Skinnex, aims to determine how
feasible the grapes and the oatmeal can be as a
natural facial cleanser. Furthermore, some
questions may follow as:
1. What are the components of grapes and
otameal to use it as the product’s main
ingredients?
2. What makes Skinnex different from other
products?
3. What is the time period for the Skinnex
product?
(Any questions may do.)

21. Significance of the Study
This study has its benefits from different
individuals including:
For minors with many pimples
This may give them some hope that their
skins can still be saved from the over –
infesting pimples on their skins.
For minors with growing pimples
This may give them the resolution that
there should be no worries when it comes
to pimple – related problems.

22. Definition of Terms
Here are the following terms used in the said
– project:
Baking Soda
This ingredient is a natural agent that is used

an instrument to remove the pimples through
extraction of oil.
(State the origin, purpose and the components
of each ingredient. It must be at least two –
three sentences. You can also add the
method used.)

23. Scope and Limitations of the Study

have the skins either with pimples or rough and dry
skins. The nature of study used is a simple interview
with each individual using recording materials such
as tape recorder and a camera. The product may
only use baking soda and grape extract as its sole
component to test its effectiveness, nothing more.
(State the origin, purpose and the components of each
ingredient. It must be at least two – three
sentences.)
