Abstract
There is a growing interest in natural and eco-friendly personal care products, which has led to more research on herbal soaps. Aegle marmelos (also called bael) is known for its health benefits, such as fighting germs and fungi, and protecting the skin. Studies have shown that soaps made with Aegle marmelos extract, using clear soap bases and simple soap-making methods, have good qualities like the right pH level, good cleaning power, and are safe for the skin.
One study combined Aegle marmelos with neem (Azadirachta indica) to make soap with stronger antifungal effects. The soap was made in two steps: first preparing a lye solution, then adding the herbal extracts. The soap was tested for its size, weight, foam quality, and pH, and the results showed it is suitable for use on the skin.
These studies show that Aegle marmelos is a valuable ingredient for making herbal soaps. Using this natural ingredient helps create skin-friendly soaps that are effective and better for the environment, meeting the demand for safer and greener personal care products.
