The Development of a Natural, Antiseptic Liquid Bath Soap from Apple Rose Leaves

Abstract

The coronavirus has a high transmission capacity through direct physical contact between humans and objects. It is necessary to use disinfectants, to break the transmission chain. This study aimed to make liquid bath soap with apple rose leaves and evaluate its antiseptic properties. The active ingredient used is a water fraction of 0.78% w/v. The results of the pharmaceutical evaluation showed that liquid soap made from apple rose leaves is homogeneous and has no coarse granules, has a pH of 8, viscosity of 498 mPas, level of free alkaline of 0.7%, specific gravity of 1.03 g / mL and height of foam being 85.71%. The apple rose leaves bath soap can inhibit the growth of S.aureus and E. coli bacteria after 15 and 75 seconds of contact time, respectively. Apple rose leaves have the potential to be developed into a natural antiseptic bath soap.
