Description
Abstract: The primary aim of this study is to develop an ecofriendly Ayurvedic bath soap using water-based extracts of plants with dermatological benefits as described in Ayurveda, specifically Orange peel, Aloevera and Almond oil. Orange peel were extracted in water, and this extract was combined with oils and lye in a saponification process to produce the soap. The resulting soap was assessed for physicochemical properties, including total fatty matter, moisture content, and pH, demonstrating favorable characteristics across these parameters. The formulated soap is suitable for all skin types. With further standardization, it may serve as an alternative to commercial medicinal soaps for skin whitening and acne treatment.
