Abstract

The main method of spreading diseases and germs is through the hands. In addition to being crucial for food preparation and serving, hand washing is also necessary in households, daycare facilities and healthcare settings. In this pursuit, the present was aimed to develop and test an essential oil-rich herbal hand wash gel, in order to demonstrate a superior antibacterial and antimicrobial activity. The study was done to develop and assess the herbal gel for hand wash with cinnamon and sandalwood oil. The hand wash gels antimicrobial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated using streak plate methods, and the outcomes were compared to antibacterial standards in the market. Further testing of the hand wash gel's effectiveness was accomplished using volunteers. The findings of the current study recommend and support the use of herbs for formulations to improve their efficacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
