The present formulation focuses on the development of a shower gel that harmonizes synthetic surfactant efficiency with natural, skin-friendly ingredients. The key surfactant, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), ensures rich foaming and effective dirt removal, while Glycerine serves as a humectant to preserve skin hydration. Stearic acid and cocoa butter enhance emolliency, improving skin feel and moisturization. Nacl (sodium chloride) is incorporated as a viscosity modifier, while distilled water functions as the universal solvent. Natural components such as rose essential oil and beetroot provide added therapeutic value. Rose oil offers mild astringent, aromatic, and antimicrobial benefits, while beetroot acts as a natural antioxidant and Colouring agent. Xanthan gum, a plant-derived polysaccharide, is used as a natural thickener to stabilize the gel’s texture and ensure consistency. Prepared formulation was evaluated for various parameters like, colour, appearance, consistency, foamability, viscosity, foam retention, pH and spread ability. The best formulation was selected based on its consistency and the pH with acceptable post-formulation properties. All the formulation were evaluated and F2 formulation of shower gel was selected as the best formulation because of its physiochemical characteristic. The formulation shower gel was found to be a better alternative for synthetic products which has lesser adverse effect.
