Abstract
In today’s chemical world, a return to nature has become the need. Since chemicals are now used in almost everything, they have become a necessary component of modern life. For this reason, avoiding the use of chemicals and using products made from natural materials is beneficial for the environment, human life and society in every aspect. In the present paper mainly three products were made. First product was organic plant insecticides, made using natural materials such as Neem leaves, Custard apple leaves, and garlic. Use of this insecticide not only protects the plants against insects, but it is also safe for children, animals, and the environment. The second product was a hair color made from dry henna leaves, dry coconut husk, dry Custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) leaves, Aloe vera gel, and coconut oil. It not only provides black color to the hair but also nourishes the hair. The growth of hair is also increased; its color does not go away from the hair for a long time and natural black color and shiny hair is also maintained. The third product was a lip lotion, made from beet root, coconut oil, and natural ghee. Generally the skin of the lips gets dry during winter season; it also gets chapped and often bleeds and blackness is also seen in the lips. This lip lotion can help to get rid of all such problems as it not only removes the blackheads on the lips but also makes the skin smooth and soft preventing bleed and gives a beautiful lips to the person.
Keywords: Natural materials, environment, organic pesticides, hair color, lip lotion.
