ABSTRACT
One of the most important aspects of human health is the skin, which is the largest organ in the
body. A variety of bacteria that cause infection are deposited on the skin's surface from the dust
in the surrounding environment. People are more likely to get bacterial skin infections, which
necessitate intensive care both for treatment and to preserve healthy skin. The purpose of the
current study is to Develop and formulate antibacterial polyherbal bath soap using Curcuma
longa, Azadirachta indica, Melalleuca alternifolia, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Rosmarinus
officinalis, & Lavendula aungustifolia. The antibacterial soap was prepared by using a cold
process method. The formulation was assessed for a number of physicochemical parameters in
order to determine whether it had positive characteristics. Plants are easily accessible, effective,
and provide manufacturers with benefits that are both cost-effective and have little or no side
effects. The soap's antibacterial effectiveness was tested using the cup plate method and it
showed action against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli. The herbal soap has
antibacterial property since it can inhibit the growth of pathogenic microbes.
