Year:2024-2025

This quantitative research study investigates the effectiveness of natural Moringa

(Malunggay) seed oil as a substitute for Aloe Vera in skincare and hair treatment products.

The research was conducted using an experimental-survey approach, surveying 20 Junior and

Senior High School students from Santo Tomas National High School. The study compared

the effectiveness of Moringa oil and Aloe Vera in terms of skin hydration, acne reduction,

anti-aging properties, hair growth promotion, and dandruff reduction. The findings

consistently demonstrated that Moringa oil outperformed Aloe Vera in all categories,

achieving a rating of moderately to highly effective, while Aloe Vera generally received a

rating of moderately effective. Additionally, the study assessed the safety of prolonged

Moringa oil use, concluding that it is safe for long-term application in both skin and hair care.

The research concludes that Moringa oil is a more effective natural remedy for various skin

and hair concerns compared to Aloe Vera. This study suggests the potential for developing a

range of Moringa oil-based skincare and haircare products tailored to specific needs,

promoting its use through educational campaigns, and conducting further comparative studies

to validate its effectiveness.

 Chapter I
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Malunggay oil, a widely used herbal plant in South Asia, is rich in vitamins, minerals,

and essential nutrients. Its seed extract is a valuable ingredient in skin-care products due to its

antioxidants, antimicrobial properties, and nourishing properties. Malunggay oil is known for

its anti-aging properties, anti-aging properties, and skin purifying properties. It also helps

remove acne, blackheads, and dark spots. Malunggay seeds have antioxidant, anti-

inflammatory, and antiseptic properties, making them beneficial for skincare. The oil can be

used as a moisturizer or to treat skin problems.

Malunggay oil is full of phytonutrients and behenic acid that are associated with many

benefits for your hair and skin, it is also considered to be a superfood because of its extensive

list of benefits and is available in several forms including oils, capsules, powder, tea and

more (Kayce Sebree, 2022).

Aloe possesses numerous activities including, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial,

ant allergic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, antiulcer and

antidiabetic. Some of these activities are due to the presence of polysaccharides(Dalia I

Sànchez-Machado et.al, 2017). Aloe vera contains vitamins A, C, and E. All three of these

vitamins contribute to cell turnover, promoting healthy cell growth and shiny hair. Aloe vera

has been used for centuries for its healing properties it’s a plant that has thick leaves with a

gel-like substance inside of them, it’s found all over the world, and many people even grow

their own (Kathryn Warson, 2023).

Nowadays, the socioeconomic status has been changed a lot, so people are now more

concerned about their life style and health, they have knowledge about the detrimental effects

of synthetic products. That is why they are interested in natural products. Malunggay is one
such tree having tremendous nutritional and medicinal benefits. It is rich in macro- and

micronutrients and other bioactive compounds which are important for normal functioning of

the body and prevention of certain diseases (Islam et.al 2021).

Moreover, Oil of Malunggay Seeds also contains important vitamins that our hair

needed such as oleic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, high protein content, behenic acids, and

amino acids that helps our hair to stimulates a healthy scalp, promote hair growth, strengthens

hair, improves shine and elasticy, hydrates and protects our hair from color depletion, and

reverses damage (Janell Hickman, 2022). Malunggay extract, a naturally occurring anti-

oxidant, protects against aminoglycoside-induced hair cell death (Otol Neurotol, 2021).

Same as aloe vera gel is cooling and soothing when applied to the hair, which is why

it’s sometimes used to for the following: calms itchy scalp, deep cleans oily hair, strengthens

hair strands, promote hair growth (Kathryn Watson, 2023). Aloe vera for your hair can

provide many health benefits such as preventing hair loss, removing excess oil from the

scalp, moisturizing the hair, promoting hair growth, protecting against damage caused by

sunlight, and helping in the treatment of dandruff or scalp infections (Manuel Reis, 2024).

Extracted oil from Malunggay seeds tops the list of most useful things obtained from

the tree. Due to its qualities of being light, dry, fluid, and sharp, this oil has the mysterious

and unique ability to penetrate the skin and detoxify it (Shreya Dalela, 2023). Malunggay is

highly regarded for its moisturizing and antioxidant-rich nature. It effectively hydrates the

skin, leaving it soft and supple. Its high content of vitamins A and E can help combat free

radicals, reducing the signs of aging and protecting against environmental stressors. The oil's

lightweight texture makes it suitable for all skin types, from dry to oily, without clogging

pores. Oleic acid has moisturizing properties, so malunggay oil may benefit dry or

mature skin types. The oleic acid content in malunggay oil acts as a barrier to help seal in

moisture, the oil may be ideal for people with dry skin (Brittany Loggins, 2024).
 Compared to aloe vera gel is an active ingredient in hundreds of skin lotions, sun

blocks and cosmetics, and aloe vera seems to treat of wounds, burns, insect stings, and skin

inflammation, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antimicrobial, antitumor, anti-skin

protection, anti-diabetic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and which are very important for wound

healing (Aisha Saleem et.al, 2022). The plant leaves contains numerous vitamins, minerals,

en-zymes, amino acids, natural sugars and other bioactive compounds with emollient,

purgative, antimicrobial, anti in-flammatory, anti-oxidant, aphrodisiac, anti-helmenthic,

antifungal, antiseptic and cosmetic values for health care. This plant has potential to cure

sunburns, burns and minor cuts, and even skin cancer (Ashwini S Jadhav, et.al, 2020).

We conducted this study to promote Malunggay Seeds Oil natural ability to be natural

hair enhancer and skin moisturizer. Natural skincare and cosmetics have gained much

popularity and claimed to have efficacy and intrinsic acceptability due to routine use in daily

life and avoid the side effects which are commonly seen in synthetic products (M Emerald, A

Emerald, L Emerald, V Kumar, 2016).

And since there are already some existing Malunggay oil products, the problem is the

products is not common in our country Philippines, we will solve it by producing our own

made natural Seed Oil in our country where Malunggay Trees are found everywhere.

Functional value reflects a product’s quality and encompasses elements such as product

workmanship, consistency of quality, and quality reliability (Sweeney and Soutar, 2001).

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to know the effectiveness of Natural oil of Malunggay seeds as a substitute

oil for skin care products and hair treatment

Specifically it aims to answer the following questions:

1. How does Malunggay seed oil integrated in skin care products benefit the skin compared to

conventional skin care products?

2. How does Malunggay seed oil integrated in hair care products benefit hair compared to

conventional hair care products?

3. What are the safety and potential side effects of using Malunggay seed oil for skin and hair

care?

Significance of the Study

This study is conducted to promote Malunggay Seed Oil ability as a natural hair enhancer and

skin moisturizer. Furthermore, the study could be of importance to the future researchers,

product consumers, students environment, and our school.

Administrators can benefit from this research study by identifying evidence-based practices

to improve pedagogy, curriculum, and student outcomes.

Definition of Terms

Aloe vera derives from the Arabic word “Alloeh” meaning “shining bitter substance. It is also

a herb with succulent leaves that are arranged in a rosette. The leaves are grey to green and

sometimes have white spots on their surfaces.

Malunggay oil is derived from the seeds of Moringa oleifera. It’s available as an essential oil

and as a cooking oil. It’s also an ingredient in hair and skin products.

Malunggay seeds are obtained from the pods of the Moringa plant (Moringa Oleifera). They

are greyish-white in colour with unique wing-like structures. They can be steamed, boiled or

roasted for various purposes.

Malunggay tree is a small-medium sized graceful and deciduous tree with sparse foliage,

often resembling a leguminous species at a distance, especially when in flower, but

immediately recognized when in fruit. It is also well known for its multipurpose attributes as

a vegetable ingredient in cooking or as a herbal medicine for a number of illnesses

Natural Oil means glyceride-based, non-petroleum-derived oils, that are produced by

expression in plants or animals, including without limitation vegetable oils, animal fats, and

algal oils, and fatty acid or fatty ester derivatives from such oils.

Sampling procedure and Sample

The respondents of this study are directly chosen from the Junior High and Senior

High students of Santo Tomas National High School, 10 students were selected for the study

so the sampling technique that researchers used is simple random sampling. The reason for

the simple random sampling is to ensure unbiased data.

Data Gathering

The researchers first prepared a set of guide questions. These guide questions are designed

for the evaluation of the product. Then, the researchers asked their research teacher to

validate the guide questions. After the questions are validated, they printed 10 copies of the

guide question. The chosen data gathering technique is simple random sampling so the

researchers distributed the guide questions to the chosen respondents and while the

respondents were answering the questionnaires, the researchers took photos of them for

documentation. Lastly, the researchers collected the respondents’ response. The findings are

then analyzed and interpreted by the researchers.

Data Analysis

The data collected from the respondents is in the form of numerical data, so the

researchers used experimental analysis. This data analysis helps the researchers classify,

summarize, and interpret the data they have collected. Experimental analysis provides a

summary of the data about the sample and their responses. It helps the researchers summarize

large amounts of data in a very simple way.
