  Abstract: This study investigates the formulation and evaluation of polyherbal soap composed of extracts from Vitex negundo, Azadirachta indica, and Curcuma longa. These plants possess significant antibacterial, dermatological, and skin-nourishing properties. The soap formulation follows a saponification process using coconut oil and sodium hydroxide as primary reactants, incorporating polymer chemistry principles in soap structuring and stability. Polymers such as polysaccharides and fatty acid chains contribute to the stability, viscosity, and foaming …
