ABSTRACT:
The main aim for the preparation of a herbal hand sanitizer is for “hand hygiene”. The purpose of this study was to produce a gel containing essential oils (EO) that are effective against a wide range of pathogens. Hand sanitizer helps prevent negative consequences like dermatitis, itchiness, and irritation. Therefore, with hygiene as the primary consideration, an effort has been undertaken to create a herbal hand sanitizer gel from oregano oil , such as Three different concentrations of essential oil were formulated as a gel using Carbapol 940 as the gelling agent. The outcomes indicate that the All developed hand sanitizer gel compositions have acceptable organoleptic qualities. The formulation's pH was 5.84. The spreadability test performed for all the formulation were in the acceptable range. Antimicrobial effectiveness of the produced hand sanitizer was demonstrated against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as Candida species.. The hand sanitizer with whereas the formulation with Oragano oil hand sanitizer had activity against all microorganisms including Candida species. This study shows that the prepared hand sanitizer gel oragano oil can be used as a commonly used Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizer gel
