Abstract
Koh Phaluai, Koh Samui district, Surat Thani province is a small island away from the mainland 18 kilometers. There is a lot of Gracilaria salicornia (C. Agardh) Dawson waste on Koh Phaluai. Traveling to Koh Phaluai relies on small boat services with an uncertain sailing schedule and takes 2 hours. The purpose of this research is to develop cosmetic products containing Gracilaria salicornia (C. Agardh) Dawson extract for use in health massage of the local homestay businesses provided by the community
enterprises and for sale to tourists in community shops through community participation activities as follows: 1) Analyze the potential of the group, 2) Select the cosmetic products for development, and 3) Transfer knowledge of cosmetic development from Gracilaria salicornia (C. Agardh) Dawson. As a result, the community enterprise group was able to develop facial cleansing gel, bath soap, aroma body massage oil, and body lotion containing Gracilaria salicornia (C. Agardh) Dawson extract using OEM production. The group has a 5% increase in income and has products to promote community tourism based on local identity. In addition, it increases the value of Gracilaria salicornia (C. Agardh) Dawson from 150 baht per kilogram to 16,200 baht per kilogram, an increase of 108
times. The process also reduces the waste problem by 0.3 percent. In conclusion, the group has an income-enerating business that builds a strong community and is self-sustainable and self-reliant.
