        abstract = {The primary objective of the current study was to formulate and evaluate an herbal soap incorporating orange peel powder. The soap was developed using the melt and pour technique with ingredients including a soap base, turmeric, vitamin E, orange peel powder, and rose water. The prepared formulation underwent comprehensive evaluation based on various parameters such as physical appearance, pH, foam height, foam retention, color, fragrance, and alcohol-insoluble matter. The soap demonstrated a neutral pH and was found to be non-irritating to the skin. Foam production and stability were observed to be satisfactory, indicating good lathering properties. The final product exhibited a dark brown coloration with a pleasant orange aroma. Results suggest that the inclusion of orange peel powder significantly enhances the soap’s cleansing and anti-aging capabilities. Additionally, the presence of glycerin and vitamin E contributed effectively to the moisturizing effect, making the formulation beneficial for routine skincare.},
