| Abstract | ||
| This research project explores the production, applications, environmental importance, and benefits of natural soap, with a focus on its role as a sustainable alternative to commercial synthetic soaps. The study highlights the cold process method of soap-making, which utilizes plant-based oils (e.g., olive oil, coconut oil) and natural additives (e.g., salt, sugar, flour) to create eco-friendly and skin-friendly products. Key findings demonstrate that natural soap is biodegradable, non-toxic, and gentle on sensitive skin, making it a viable option for personal hygiene, household cleaning, and medicinal purposes.The environmental benefits of natural soap are significant, as it reduces chemical pollution and reliance on non-renewable petrochemicals. However, challenges such as higher production costs, lower lather, and shorter shelf life were identified. To address these limitations, the study proposes future directions, including innovations in formulation, increased consumer awareness, and the integration of advanced technologies like nanotechnology. Additionally, the importance of sustainable packaging and supportive policy frameworks is emphasized to further enhance the adoption and impact of natural soap.This research underscores the importance of natural soap in promoting health, sustainability, and environmental stewardship. By combining traditional methods with modern green chemistry principles, natural soap represents a promising solution for reducing the ecological footprint of cleaning products while meeting consumer needs. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders aiming to advance sustainable practices in the soap and detergent industry | ||
