Abstract

This review article examines the development and assessment techniques for an herbal bathing soap containing multani mitti (fuller’s earth), aloe vera gel, and lemongrass oil. It emphasizes the potential benefits of these natural ingredients for skin health, such as multani mitti's cleansing properties, aloe vera's moisturizing and soothing effects, and lemongrass oil's antimicrobial properties. The formulation process is detailed, covering ingredient selection, incorporation methods, and curing techniques. Various evaluation methods are discussed to ensure the quality and efficacy of the final soap product, including sensory assessment, physicochemical analysis, microscopic examination, chemical evaluation, and quality control protocols. This review offers valuable insights for developing and accessing herbal soap formulations that provide safe and effective skincare alternatives for consumers.
