ABSTRACT

Cocoa extract refers to the bioactive compounds found in cocoa products. These compounds include flavanols, procyanidins and (-) epicatechin. Though these molecules are not unique to cocoa, cocoa extract contains a particularly high level of (-)-epicatechin, compared to other plant products. Supplementing cocoa extract or eating dark chocolate is linked to better blood flow and improved insulin sensitivity. The aim of the study is to replace paraffin oil with oil extract from cocoa, in the formulation of body lotion. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to produce body lotion from cocoa extract and produce cocoa body lotion from blend of cocoa power/extract. The efficiency of cocoa extract to replace paraffin oil in the formulation of body lotion was examined, the result of the work showed that cocoa extract is a good alternative to paraffin oil in body lotion formulation. There is no question that properly moisturized skin looks and feels better, especially during the chilly winter months when it is prone to flaking and itchiness. The problem is that it can cost a fortune to keep a supply of body lotion on hand. From the price, it is easy to wonder if the secret ingredient in some moisturizers is gold dust. What few people realize is that the basic recipe for any lotion is incredibly simple: Oil and water are combined and bonded together with an emulsifier. In fact, anyone can create a month's supply of luxurious body lotion in his or her kitchen for around a dollar. Even more exciting is the fact that you can make a moisturizer that is perfectly suited to your skin type, fragrance preference, and budget. If you want to keep your skin looking silky smooth and want to hold onto more of your hard-earned money, try this simple recipe. This study will be of immense benefit to researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.


Production of Body Lotion Using Cocoa Extract

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Cocoa extract refers to the bioactive compounds found in cocoa products. These compounds include flavanols, procyanidins and (-) epicatechin. Though these molecules are not unique to cocoa, cocoa extract contains a particularly high level of (-)-epicatechin, compared to other plant products. Supplementing cocoa extract or eating dark chocolate is linked to better blood flow and improved insulin sensitivity. Cocoa has a high antioxidant concentration which has shown to smooth the skin when ingested regularly, but a new study is one of the first to prove that it has anti-aging effect when applied tropically. in test on human skin samples, a cream containing Acticoa-a cocoa extract rich in antioxidants called flavonols, boosted the production of collagen and glycosaninoglycans (proteins involved in skin elasticity and moisture).

Experts (beauty experts and reader surveys, dermatologists) agree that skin on every part of the body has virtually the same needs, in that it should be cleansed, exfoliated, moisturized and protected from the sun. They also agree that some ingredients like vitamin E can help to provide healthier and softer skin.

There is no doubt that properly moisturized skin looks and feels better, especially during the chilly winter months when it is prone to flaking and itchiness. The problem is that it can cost a fortune to keep a supply of body lotion on hand. From the price, it is easy to wonder if the secret ingredients in some moisturizers are gold dust. What few people realize is that the basic recipe for any lotion is incredibly simple. oil and water are combined and bonded together with an emulsifier to produce skin moisturizing cream lotion. in fact anyone can create a month’s supply of luxurious body lotion in his or her kitchen. Even more exciting is the fact that you can make a moisturizer that is perfectly suited to your skin type with fragrance of your choice.

As mentioned earlier, all you need to make body lotion is a skin nourishing oil and pure water. The emulsifier will help you create a more professional product, but you do not even need this if it does not bother you to shake up your moisturizer before applications. However, emulsifiers often have a second benefit that may make a trip to the store worthwhile. They also have preservative qualities that keep oils, which can go rancid over time, from spoiling in some cases; they can dramatically extend the shelf life of a cream containing fragile ingredients like fruit juice.

Good moisturizers should include water-binding agents such as glycerin, collagen, hyaluronic acid, antioxidant and anti-irritants (aloe, green tea, vitamin C etc.) experts agree that a good lotion doesn’t have to be expensive. For the purpose of this work, oil extracted from coca was used in place of paraffin oil for the production of body lotion due to the fact that cocoa contains mass polyphenol (CMP), a substance that inhibits the production of immuno globulin (IgE) which is known to aggravate symptoms of both dermatitis and asthma.

1.2 Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of the study is to replace paraffin oil with oil extract from cocoa, in the formulation of body lotion. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows:

  1. To produce body lotion from cocoa extract.
  2. To produce cocoa body lotion from blend of cocoa power/extract

1.3 Scope of Study

The study focuses on the Production of Body Lotion Using Cocoa Extract.

1.4 Limitations of the Study

During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are:

  1. Time Constraint: The time frame given to accomplish this project was very short due to school academic calendar and it was carried out under pressure which made the researcher not to implement some necessary features.
  2. Research material: availability of research material is a major setback to the scope of the study.
  3. Frequent power failure: This made the researcher append more money on fuel to ensure sustainable power.
  4. Financial Constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet).

1.5 Significance of Study

This study will be of immense benefit to researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.
