Research Paper on Formulation and Evaluation of Azadiracta Indica and Ocimum Tenuiflorum Herbal Soap

Herbal products are becoming popular all over the world because people believe they are safer and better for health. Even though many people are using herbal soaps and cosmetics, there are still questions about how safe and effective they really are. This project was done to make and test a natural herbal soap using NEEM (from its leaves and bark) and TULSI. Herbal soaps, also called Ayurvedic cosmetics, are made from plants and are usually safe for the skin with no side effects. Many herbs used in these products have been trusted in traditional medicine for a long time. Today, because of pollution and harmful germs in the air, our skin can get damaged or infected. Normal cosmetics are not enough to protect the skin fully. Neem is a special plant known for its many healing powers. Its leaves can help with problems like infections, swelling, high blood sugar, ulcers, and even some serious diseases. In this study, we used different kinds of Neem extracts made with water, alcohol, and another liquid called ethyl acetate, to see how they work in soap. We tested the soap for things like how it looks, how well it cleans, how much it foams, and whether it's gentle on the skin. The results showed that the soap had a pH level close to the natural pH of human skin, which means it won’t harm the skin. It also made good foam and stayed foamy for a long time. This herbal soap made with Neem and Tulsi is a natural, skin-friendly product that helps protect the skin from germs and keeps it healthy.
