Comparative Analysis Of Medicinal Plant Soap (Marigold Vs. Mogra)

Abstract

This study uses extracts of Mogra (Jasminum sambac) and marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) to investigate the formulation and preference analysis of herbal soaps. The increasing popularity of herbal soaps can be attributed to its natural ingredients and purported medical properties. A total of 120 respondents were selected for the methodology's sample size from the Ayodhya district in Uttar Pradesh. When making soap, a number of variables are taken into account, including the soap base, oil, colour, fragrance agent, herbal extract, and optimization process. The respondents then rank the made soaps according to a number of characteristics, including availability, usage frequency, smell, and foaming, moisturizing, and therapeutic properties. A statistical research shows that consumers favor certain characteristics in Mogra and Marigold soaps. The study also looks at the sources of respondents' knowledge of herbal soaps and their preferences for soap.
