Herbal soaps have gained popularity due to their perceived natural ingredients and potential health benefits. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal soap enriched with botanical extracts known for their skin-nourishing properties. The soap formulation included extracts of aloe vera, calendula, and lavender, chosen for their moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and soothing effects. The process involved blending these extracts with traditional soap base components and evaluating the resulting product for physical characteristics such as pH, hardness, and sensory attributes including fragrance and lather quality. Additionally, the soap was tested for skin compatibility through patch testing on human volunteers to assess potential irritation or allergic reactions. Results indicated a well-balanced soap formulation with desirable physical properties and favorable sensory attributes. Patch testing revealed minimal adverse reactions, suggesting good skin tolerance. Overall, the formulated herbal soap offers a promising natural alternative in skincare, combining botanical benefits with effective cleansing properties.
