        abstract = {Polyherbal dry handwash formulations are gaining attention as safe, eco-friendly, and chemical-free alternatives to conventional liquid hand cleansers. The present review focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal dry handwash prepared using natural ingredients such as Moringa powder, Tulsi, Clove, Reetha, Neem, Orange peel, Rose petals, and Ajwain extract. These herbs possess strong antimicrobial, antifungal, cleansing, and skin-soothing properties. The combination works synergistically to provide effective hand hygiene without the use of synthetic surfactants or preservatives. Various evaluation parameters—including skin irritation test, pH determination, spreadability, viscosity, stability, organoleptic properties, appearance, homogeneity, and grittiness—ensure the safety and efficiency of the formulation. This article summarizes the scientific basis and advantages of a herbal dry handwash using Moringa as the principal antimicrobial agent.},
