Abstract

The formulation and evaluation of an antibacterial polyherbal soap was conducted to develop a product with natural antimicrobial properties that could serve as an alternative to synthetic antibacterial agents. Various medicinal plants, known for their antimicrobial activities, such as Azadirachta indica (Neem), Tulsi (Holy Basil), Aloe vera, and Tea Tree oil, were selected for their synergistic effects. The soap was formulated using a blend of these herbs in combination with natural oils and surfactants to ensure skin compatibility and effective cleansing. The results indicate that the polyherbal soap possesses strong antibacterial properties while being gentle on the skin, offering a natural and effective alternative for personal hygiene. Further studies on long-term use and dermatological testing are recommended to confirm its safety and efficacy.
