The team with three Agribusiness Program 2019 Faculty of Agriculture (FP) UNS as members, Cornelya Venny Wijaya, Khairum Bannaati Ahmad, and Fatimah Az Zahra, proposed the business idea to facilitate the implementation of health protocols in the new normal era. Their business proposal was an innovation on 75-grams bar soap that is more efficient to be carried by people because it reduces the risk of leakage.
