Oravé Lotion is a green cosmetic venture developed through the 2025 Student Entrepreneurship Creativity Program (PKM-K) at Batam State Polytechnic. It converts orange and avocado peel waste into a natural body lotion under circular economy principles. This descriptive study used a convenience-sample survey of 56 campus respondents, product trials, third-party heavy-metal testing, and financial records, analyzed with descriptive statistics and feasibility indicators (COGS, B/C, R/C, BEP, payback period). Initial interest was expressed by 93% of respondents (non-representative sample); trial feedback was positive on packaging, texture, and skin softness, with scent and color flagged for improvement. Heavy metals were below detection limits. At a projected volume of 760 units, COGS was IDR 12,500 and the selling price IDR 21,500, yielding a B/C ratio of 1.72, BEP at 194 units, a payback period of 18.7 months, and profit after tax of IDR 6,087,600. Representative demand validation is needed before scaling.
