Abstract
This project consists of developing a Eucalyptus-based product. The selected product is a sports performance T-shirt impregnated with eucalyptus essential oil. A Chemical Product Design approach was used to translate customer needs into the new product. This procedure is divided into four stages: Needs, Ideas, Selection and Manufacture. This product’s target audience is athletics and hiking enthusiasts. Its main purpose is to valorize Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil’s unique properties, providing fresh and decongestion sensations to the user. Finally, an economic analysis was performed to evaluate the product viability.
