This research investigates the formulation of a herbal hand sanitizer using natural antibacterial agents such as neem (Azadirachta indica), aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), and essential oils. The increasing use of chemical-based sanitizers has led to skin-related side effects, making herbal alternatives highly relevant. The sanitizer was prepared using a blend of these ingredients with 70% isopropyl alcohol and tested against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus using the agar well diffusion method. The herbal sanitizer showed significant antimicrobial activity, offering an effective and eco-friendly solution for hand hygiene.
