About Us
Do you aware that 30 million face masks wasted daily. Not only are conventional disposable face masks potentially irritating to our skin and a breeding ground for yuckies, tossing millions of face masks every day can have a deleterious effect on our environment in the long run. In this project, we turn waste to wealth. Agricultural waste such as banana peels is a problem for the environment if it is not properly managed. In fact, the banana peel can be utilized in cosmetic product formulation such as peel-off face mask because of the natural antioxidant content in the peel. In this project, the AA Team conduct research and development in product testing, including drying time, colour, pH and elasticity for the formulation of peel-off face mask. It was found a good result with 15% polyvinyl alcohol and 0% of carbomer. This formulation then was compared with the commercial product in terms of its physicochemical properties. Banana peel was utilized in cosmetic product formulation such as peel-off face mask. We then design a reusable cotton face masks infused with this substance and helps fight bacteria growth. One possible solution for the skin and environment concerns caused by single-use masks is a new type of mask. The outcome of this market survey responses and the development testing was presented at the International Conference on Bioengineering and Technology in 2021.
