Abstract

Herbal Soap have become an item of global importance both biologically and economically. The usage of these herbal products has increased the quality, safety and efficacy. The present research has undertaken with the aim to formulate herbal formulation. Soaps are used for the topical application with herbal products against skin infection. Natural herbs are the main ingredients of herbal soap which are safer and beneficial than the commercial soaps. Antibacterial activity of leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica, Ocimum tenuiflorum and Acacia concinna has been evaluated individually and in combination by a previous study. This study aims to formulate a novel herbal soap using the combined extract of herbal drugs. This study also evaluates the physicochemical characteristics of the soap. Easy availability of plant and their effectiveness helps formulation with cost effective benefits with less or no side effects.

 Keywords: Polyherbal Soap; Azadirachta indica; Ocimum tenuiflorum; Acacia concinna; Evaluation Parameters
