Such ointments are already known to many like Efficascent, Katinko, White Flower and Aldrtz Pau Liniment. OINTMENT | COST | Efficascent Oil | Php 180/100mL | Katinko | Php 80/30g | White Flower | Php 297.25/0.67 fl. oz. | Aldrtz Pau Liniment | Php 290/60mL |
E. Scope and Limitation Science and technology is responsible for the most of the things we used today and for showing better ways of using other things. We chose coconut and annatto ointment as our investigatory project. F. Definition of Terms OINTMENTS are fatty
