Formulation And Evaluation of Herbal Neem and Tulsi Soap for Enhanced Skin Care Applications

Abstract

This project is dedicated to formulating an herbal soap by harnessing the extracts from Azadirachta indica (neem) and Ocimum tenuiflorum (tulsi) powders. With an increasing recognition of Ayurvedic cosmetics, renowned for their natural composition and minimal side effects, this formulation seeks to integrate botanical ingredients deeply rooted in traditional medicine practices. Neem, celebrated for its medicinal properties, assumes a crucial role, distinguished for its anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antimalarial, and antibacterial attributes. The study takes a comprehensive approach, exploring the effects of various neem leaf extracts. The herbal soap is meticulously crafted, incorporating neem and tulsi, demonstrating specific efficacy against dermatophytes, while tulsi showcases remarkable antiviral properties. This research serves to underscore the vast potential inherent in herbal formulations, shedding light on the manifold benefits of neem and tulsi and their transformative applications in skincare products.
