Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Soap

The therapeutic virtues of neem (semambu), also known as Azadirachta indica, have led to its widespread usage in traditional medicine. Neem leaves have traditionally been used to treat skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Neem contains antioxidants and boosts immune response in damaged skin tissues. It also contains bioactive chemicals with antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer properties. This study employed neem leaf extract to make herbal soap to treat skin disorders [1] Plant-based components and botanical extracts are used to make herbal soaps, also referred to as natural soaps. Because they are composed of natural components, they provide the skin with a number of benefits. Among the advantages are their natural scent, antioxidant content, moisturizing and nourishing qualities, and environmental friendliness. Herbal formulation and evaluation, including the identification of organoleptic and physic-chemical characteristics, constitute the basis for the manufacture of the herbal soap extract. Measurements and observations were made of the pH, total fatty matter, alcohol insoluble matter, foam height, foam retention, and moisture content. It was found to have a smooth texture, a brown color, and a fragrant scent [2].
