The aim of the present study is to formulate herbal soap containing castor oil, neem oil, mentha oil and further subjected to physicochemical characterizations such as colour, odor, texture, foam height, foam retention, irritation, saponification value and pH. The main ingredient, moong dal commonly known as green gram, has therapeutic qualities. The basic saponification reaction was combined with various extracts, including coconut oil, castor oil, neem oil, Mentha oil, rose petal extract, and NaOH (lye), to create the soap. After the herbal formulation was created, its pH and moisture content were tested. Foaming index, foam retention duration, saponification, TFM calculation, ethanol soluble matter, and antimicrobial activity using varying soap solution concentrations in comparison to standard technique. For herbal soap, the results showed that the pH was 6.5–7, the moisture content was 3.5%, the foam index was 16.5, the foam retention time was 10.0 minutes, the saponification value was 161.287 mg/ml, the TFM was 72%, and the ethanol soluble matter was 63.80%. Additionally, evaluation tests revealed that when compared to standard antibiotics, the herbal soap's antimicrobial results are satisfactory. Additionally, oils are added to various People are most commonly affected by bacterial skin infections, which need People are most likely to get skin infections caused by bacteria, which means treating and keeping healthy skin need careful consideration. There is antibacterial activity found in certain herbal plant extracts and their oils. The generated formulations demonstrated a strong antibacterial effect when tested using the agar well diffusion method against the bacteria Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and pseudomonas aeruginosa. Excellent qualities were noted when the prepared formulations were assessed for a variety of physicochemical factors. The cost-effective advantages and minimal or non-existent side effects provided by plants' accessibility and efficacy are beneficial to manufacturers.
