Comparison of Consumer Products: Chemistry of Use, safety, Quality, and Cost Analysis of Household Cleaners (Zonrox vs. Clorox) and; Skincare Products (Toner vs. Serum) Presented by: GROUP 3  OBJECTIVES To evaluate the chemical components of household cleaners and skincare products to understand their safety, quality, and cost-effectiveness. To compare the effectiveness and potential risks associated with the use of Zonrox and Clorox in household cleaning. To analyze the impact of active ingredients in toners and serums on skin health and overall skincare effectiveness. To assess the value-for-money proposition of consumer products based on their chemical composition and performance. To provide recommendations for consumers on selecting products that balance safety, quality, and cost. To highlight the importance of understanding product ingredients in making informed purchasing decisions.  Table of contents 01 02 Introduction Discussion Overview We will focus on two categories: 1. Household Cleaners (Zonrox vs. Clorox) and; 2. Skincare Products (Toner vs. Serum). 03 Exercises We will test your understanding on the topic. As we kick off... We hope you'll listen closely to our discussion and gain a clear understanding of the topic.  01 Introduction The purpose of this presentation is to compare consumer products based on their chemical components. Understanding the chemistry behind these products helps in making informed decisions about their use, safety, quality, and cost. Household Cleaners - Bleach Zonrox Clorox A popular household bleach A well-known international brand in the Philippines. brand of bleach.  Properties Active Ingredients pH Levels Both products primarily contain Typically around 11-13, making them sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). highly alkaline. Effectiveness Sodium hypochlorite is effective in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Comparison in concentration (usually 5-6%) might influence effectiveness.  Safety of Bleach Products Toxicity Zonrox Clorox Contains sodium hypochlorite, Similar risks due to sodium which can cause skin and eye hypochlorite; includes warnings irritation. Inhalation of fumes on usage in well-ventilated may cause respiratory issues. areas and proper dilution.  Safety of Bleach Products Environmental Impact Zonrox Clorox Potential to release chlorine Emphasizes safety measures and gas if mixed with acids. disposal instructions to minimize Consideration of its effect on environmental harm. Both products require proper disposal to avoid aquatic life. environmental contamination. Quality and Cost of Bleach Products Quality Zonrox Clorox Known for effective stain Marketed for its superior removal and disinfection in cleaning power and longer various household cleaning shelf life due to stabilized tasks. sodium hypochlorite.  Cost Zonrox Clorox Generally more affordable, Often priced higher, but commonly found in local marketed with the promise of markets. higher quality and effectiveness. Personal Care - Skincare Products Toner Serum Concentrated treatment products with Typically used to cleanse the skin and active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, prepare it for moisturizing, with retinol, or vitamin C aimed at targeting ingredients like witch hazel, glycolic specific skin concerns like hydration, acid, or salicylic acid. aging, or acne.  Properties Toner Ingredients Serum Ingredients Focus on delivering active ingredients Often contains alcohols or astringents in higher concentrations, such as that can help with oil control but may antioxidants, peptides, or moisturizing also cause dryness or irritation. agents. Designed for deeper penetration into the skin.  Safety of Skincare Products Chemical Stability Toner Serum Generally stable, but alcohol- Stability depends on formulation; based toners can evaporate some serums, particularly those quickly if not sealed properly. with vitamin C or retinol, may degrade upon exposure to air and light. Packaging plays a key role in maintaining efficacy.  Safety of Skincare Products Allergenicity Toner Serum Risk of irritation from alcohols Potential for allergic reactions or fragrance components. Some to active ingredients like retinol people may be sensitive to or vitamin C, especially in glycolic or salicylic acid. higher concentrations. Quality and Cost of Skincare Products Quality Toner Serum Effectiveness in removing High efficacy due to residual makeup, dirt, and oil, concentrated active preparing the skin for better ingredients. Quality often absorption of subsequent reflected in the texture, products. absorption rate, and results seen over time.  Cost Toner Serum Generally more affordable, Often more expensive due to ranging from drugstore to higher concentrations of active premium brands. ingredients and advanced formulations.  Comparative Summary Category Product Chemistry Focus Safety Safety Cost Comparison Household Cleaners Zonrox Active Ingredient: Sodium Skin & eye irritation Effective stain Generally Offers better hypochlorite Inhalation risks removal and more value for money pH Level: 11-13 Releases chlorine gas if disinfection affordable compared to Concentration: 5-6% mixed with acids Clorox Clorox Active Ingredient: Sodium Similar risks as Zonrox Superior cleaning Often Higher price may hypochlorite Requires ventilation power priced be justified by pH Level: 11-13 Proper dilution advised Longer shelf life higher better Concentration: 5-6% performance Skincare Products Toner Ingredients: Witch hazel, glycolic Potential for irritation Removes Generally More affordable, acid, salicylic acid Allergy risk from active residual makeup more suitable for daily May contain alcohols ingredients Prepares skin for affordable use further products Serum Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, Allergy risk from high High efficacy Often Higher cost is retinol, vitamin C concentrations Concentrated more justified by High concentration of actives Degradation with active ingredients expensive enhanced results exposure to air and light and targeted benefits Key Takeaways  Why comparing consumer products on the basis of their components for use, safety, quality and cost is important? 1.
