Abstract
Most of the commercial soaps and detergents contain chemicals that can be harmful to the skin. Using a natural herbal soap and detergents can be a good alternative. They provide relaxation, healing from stress also. In this research, work soap was formulated using herbal ingredients and evaluated for various physicochemical features. Hence, owing to good effect on skin and acceptable parameters, this formulation can be investigated further for curing the infection and nourishing skin.
