MATERIAL AND METHODS

Selection and Collection of herbs

The materials and herbs used were selected on the basis of literature review. The Curcumin, Neem oil, pure almond oil, rosewater, aloevera gel are selected for the development of paper soap.

Herbal paper soap

Paper soap is a thin soap sheet. It is an anionic surfactant that is used in conjunction with Water for washing and cleaning, but these times every person use Herbal because Herbal products no side effects this reason to we are using Herbal products and making Herbal paper soap.

Name of Ingredients	Quantity
Curcumin	1 gm
Neem Oil	5 ml
Almond Oil	10 ml
Fuller’s Earth	6 gm
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate	10 gm
Rose Water	20 ml
Glycerin	15 ml
Aloevera Gel	15 ml
Perfume	3 ml
Orange Colour	2 gm
White Petroleum Jelly	1o ml

Procedure

The Curcumin (Turmeric) extract and combinations of other ingredients like Neem oil, Almond oil, Aloevera, Fuller’s earth, Glycerine, Rosewater were added in water and Sodium lauryl sulphate along with perfume stirred well and both the contents were mixed together thoroughly and the volume was made up using orange colour. And warm the semi solid liquid and we added white petrolium jelly and shaking some times and A4 size butter paper on spread. After that drying paper some time and cut the paper in size then covered to pack for the development of Poly Herbal paper soap strip.

Evaluation Poly Herbal paper soap strip

Evaluations done by various parameters like physicochemical, pH foam height, form retention, Sensitivity, Irritation and Paper spread ability were performed to establish quality of the prepared paper soap strip.

1. Physicochemical Evaluation

Various physicochemical parameters like colour, odour and texture were performed to establish quality of the prepared formulations.

2. pH

The pH of prepared paper soap strip formulations was determined by using Digital pH Meter. The formulations were dissolved in 100 ml of distilled water and stored for two hours.

3. Foam Height

0.5gm of sample of soap was taken dispersed in 25 ml distilled water. Then, transferred it into 100 ml measuring cylinder, volume was making up to 50 ml with water. 25 strokes were given and stand till aqueous volume measured up to 50 ml and measured the foam height, above the aqueous volume.

4. Foam Retention

50 ml of the 1% liquid of paper soap solution was taken into a 250ml graduated measuring cylinder. The cylinder was covered with hand and shaken 10 times. The volume of foam at 1- minute intervals for 4 minutes was recorded.

5. Sensitivity

It is tasted by “patch test. Apply product on 1 cm patch of skin, if no any inflammation or rashes then it considered as free from sensitivity.

6. Irritation

It is carried out by applying product on the skin for 10 minutes. If no irritation then it is considered as non irritation product.

7. Paper spread ability

A pinch of product should be easily spreadability on paper.

Keywords

Up to 5-7 keywords must be provided in alphabetical order, These should be typed at the end of the abstract on the same shee

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Evaluation Poly Herbal paper soap strip

1. Physicochemical Evaluation

Various physicochemical parameters which are mentioned below were performed to establish quality of the prepared formulations.

Parameter	Observation
Colour	Light Orange Colour
Odour	Characteristics and Pleasant
Texture	Smooth
pH	7.2
Foam Height	24 cm
Foam retention	4 min
Sensitivity	No rashes
Irritation	Non irritation

2. pH

The pH of all the prepared formulations was determined by using Digital pH Meter.

3. Foam Height

Foam height measure in ml.

4. Foam Retention

Foam height measure in min.

5. Sensitivity

After application of paper no any inflammation or rashes was observed so it considered as free from sensitivity.

6. Irritation

Applying product on the skin for 10 minutes shows no irritation so it is considered as non irritation product.

CONCLUSION

The process of making paper soap is performed by spreading material on A4 size butter paper shows the best results as compared to other selected papers. Formulated paper soaps was evaluated for physicochemical, pH foam height, form retention, Sensitivity, Irritation and Paper spread ability and the obtained results were in the acceptable limits. The formulated liquid soap containing turmeric Neem oil, Almond oil, Aloevera was found to be easier and simpler, to produce stable paper soap. It is also having accepted range of antimicrobial efficacy which may act as alternative of the liquid soap and very easily to carryout in purrs containing synthetic antimicrobial agent.
