Abstract

This research used neem oil and pine oil in preparing liquid soap, which were subsequently characterized. The physical properties of the prepared soap, including foamability and pH, were analyzed. The antibacterial properties of the prepared soaps in terms of sensitivity, minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bacterial concentration were analyzed. The antimicrobial properties of the prepared soap in terms of sensitivity and minimum inhibitory concentration (with respect to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) indicated that the properties observed from the produced liquid soap correlate with those obtained from the commercial soap sample and clearly agree with the standards of the World Health Organization for antiseptic soap.
