Abstract

A poly herbal soap and hand sanitizer was formulated using the leaf and bark extracts of Cassia fistula, Ficus religiosa and Milletia pinnata. The antimicrobial efficacy of the prepared formulations was tested using agar well diffusion method against the organisms E coli (MTCC-1698), S aureus (MTCC-1143) and P aeruginosa (MTCC-2453). The prepared poly herbal formulations exhibited good antimicrobial effect. The prepared formulations were evaluated for various physicochemical parameters for which good characteristics were observed. Hence owing to good antimicrobial effect and acceptable parameters, the prepared formulations can be further standardized and used as effective antiseptics and disinfectants.
