The scientific study linked to the physical, chemical, biological, and structural characterization of drugs along with their history of cultivation, collection and preparation for marketing and preservation, is defined as pharmacognosy. The cardinal routes of the entry of various infections into our body are our hands. The infection caused thereby causes a spectrum of diseases, especially in children. To get rid of such infections, regular washing of hands after specific time intervals holds imperative cognizance of getting rid of such infectious diseases. The handwash available in the local markets is mainly composed of various chemical compounds which might pose several threats to our skin. In this notion, the search for alternate components for handwash preparation that are organic in nature and do not cause any damage to our skin has been in the research limelight for the past few years. Accordingly, in this research, an attempt has been made to prepare a skin-friendly handwash containing the essential extracts of various ingredients like Aloe vera, turmeric, honey, tulsi, lemon, etc., and thereby their antimicrobial and antiseptic efficacy were evaluated. The basis of the evaluation was set using multivariate criteria like odour, colour, viscosity, pH, foam height and retention, and grittiness. Finally, the skin irritation test was also carried out along with a few other parameters to draw conclusions regarding the suitability of the handwash for human usage. The obtained results were found within the desired ranges without the presence of any adverse side effects. Thus, the proposed scheme of this study may be regarded as an excellent approach to combat the harmful effects of commercial chemicals containing handwash and, thereby, will be beneficial to various stakeholders.

The aim of the present research work was the in-vitro evaluation of the antibacterial potential of polyherbal hand wash formulation against some skin pathogens. Herbal remedies are widely used in healthcare around the World. Herbal medicines have been widely used as effective preventative and treatment options for various ailments. There are a variety of hand washes available in the market many of them have some adverse effects such as itching, dermatitis, irritation etc. An attempt has been made to produce a polyherbal hand wash to prevent these adverse effects of synthetic handwash formulations. For the preparation of polyherbal hand wash the hydroalcoholic leaves extracts of Moringa oleifera (Drumstick tree), Calotropis gigantea (Giant milkweed), Azadirachta indica (Neem) and lemon juice were used. Two hand wash formulations were prepared, and the formulations were also tested for physical attributes such as pH, viscosity, and appearance. The antibacterial activity of formulated herbal hand wash was tested against skin pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus by the streak-plate method. The results obtained were compared with a standard antibiotic drug (Amoxicillin). The efficiency of hand wash was also checked by using the hand wash on volunteers. The findings revealed that prepared herbal hand wash formulations showed a significant zone of inhibition compared with a standard antibiotic. INTRODUCTION:Skin is the most exposed part of our body, and it requires protection from different skin pathogens 1 . The principal routes of transmission of these skin pathogens are through the hands of health care workers, from whom patients get infection 2 . As a result, it raises the issue of using antiseptic for hand washing purposes. The most prevalent skin pathogens are S. aureus, E. coli, coryne form bacteria etc.
