Day 7

Five days ago, we bought red flowers and treated them the exact same way as we treated the pink flower petals. We, got the same results; that the Vitamin E treated daily petal stayed fresh the longest. All the petals stayed fresh for 2 days and then the untreated petal started to curl up and grow wrinkled. The Vitamin E treated petal that was treated only once stayed fresh for 3 days so far, and now it is getting black, but the Vitamin E treated petal which is treated daily is still fresh. This proves that Vitamin E treated petals can stay fresh the longest, but this also means that it should work on skin too.

Day 5

Today we observed the flower petals, and we looked at the differences between the petal with Vitamin E and without Vitamin E. The petal treated daily is lasting the longest so far, as shown in the pictures above.

Day 3

I have noticed that the untreated flower petal is starting to dry, as is the water treated petal. I think this is because the petal is in an enclosed space, where it is hard for the air to get to it. The Vitamin E treated petals are still fresh.

Days 1 & 2

Today we started the project, and put the petals in bags. We smothered 2 of them with Vitamin E, and we soaked one of them in water. The last one, we left without anything. The next day, we took a dried flower petal and smothered it with Vitamin E. We want to see if dried flower petals will become fresh again if Vitamin E is applied to it. At the end of this project, I hope to prove that the skin products with Vitamin E in them can actually work.
