ABSTRACT

Background: The formulation of herbal soaps involves the incorporation of plant-based extracts, oils, and other natural ingredients, which offer therapeutic advantages like antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and soothing effects. The formulation and evaluation of herbal soaps require an in-depth understanding of various factors such as ingredient selection, surfactant choice, formulation methods, and the properties of the final product. Objectives: The present work involves the formulation and evaluation of Ubtan Scrub by using Goat Milk Soap base. Methods: The herbal soaps were formulated using Ubtan powder, walnut shell powder, Chandan Powder, Liquorice powder, Ambe Halad, Ubtan F.O, Goat Milk Soap base and evaluated for various properties like Appearance, colour, shape, odour, pH, fragrance, texture, hardness, foam retention (Fr), foam height (Fh). Results: Ubtan Scrub soap gave the most stable foam with over 4 minutes and 40 seconds foam retention when small amount of soap was dissolved in distilled water. The results of the formulated soaps, reveal that formula containing only one show less significant activity than formula with two or more combined. Conclusion: The results of the study offer potential alternative to the cosmetic industry in polyherbal soap production.
