Abstract: The primary aim of this study is to develop an ecofriendly Ayurvedic bath soap using water-based extracts of plants with dermatological benefits as described in Ayurveda, specifically Orange peel, Aloevera and Almond oil. Orange peels were extracted in water, and this extract was combined with oils and lye in a saponification process to produce the soap. The resulting soap was evaluated for its physicochemical properties, including total fatty matter, moisture content, and pH, exhibiting favourable characteristics across these parameters. The formulated soap is suitable for all skin types. With further standardisation, it may serve as an alternative to commercial medicinal soaps for skin whitening and acne treatment purposes.
