Producción y comercialización de una crema dermatológica a base del rizoma de Calaguala (Polypodium angustifolium)

Abstract

In the current degree work, the lack of knowledge and products based on calaguala was analyzed, since it presents a shortage of dermatological products in the market due to the fact that the rhizome of calaguala contains several beneficial substances for the skin which are unknown to people. The purpose of the enterprise is to publicize the multiple utilities that calaguala rhizome has for treating skin diseases through a study of experimental designs. The main basis was to produce and market a dermatological cream based on the rhizome of the calaguala to perform its proper study. Through the application of a bifactorial analysis of variance, the effects, interaction, and intervals in which the PH of the two formulas was found to verify the general PH, which a dermatological cream must have for its respective production, were analyzed. The two formulas were verified, showing the most effective result of formula two in which distilled rose water was added since an average of PH equal to 5.3 was observed with whereas in formula one distilled water with a PH of 5.27 was used. When producing the dermatological cream, the importance of having statistical knowledge was identified since it is essential to carry out a study to verify the benefits or minimum and maximum margins of a product for its preparation to which the product is directed. This study leads to encourage students to carry out an enterprise, since it will allow the student to put into practice the knowledge acquired within the career and will generate a source of income for the student as an entrepreneur of goods or services.
