TLDR The soap strips are effective and eco-friendly anti-fungal alternatives.

The study develops and evaluates poly-herbal anti-fungal eco-friendly soap strips using natural extracts from Lantana camara, Moringa Oleifera, and Corn silk. These soap strips are formulated with a transparent soap base infused with the herbal extracts. The evaluation assesses physical properties, pH levels, foaming ability, foam stability, and anti-fungal efficacy. Results show that the soap strips have superior physicochemical properties and significant anti-fungal activity, suggesting they are a promising eco-friendly alternative to conventional anti-fungal soaps.
