dc.description.abstractBar soap is a commonly used cleaning and lubricating item that contains fatty acid salts and surfactants. Unfortunately, many bar soaps are made with palm oil, which is scarce due to depletion in Malaysia. To address this issue, a study was conducted to explore the use of Baeckea frutescens oil as a substitute for palm oil. Baeckea frutescens is a wild herb known for its historical medicinal uses, such as treating fever and sunstroke. This study extracts the oil for integration into soap production through saponification, followed by analysis using Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Results showed the presence of crucial antioxidant compounds, including phenolic acids and flavonoids, which have potential skincare benefits. The soap's innovative spherical design prevents microbiological growth and highlights the oil's possible aesthetic and health benefits. The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities of the soap point to potential advantages for a number of skin disorders including eczema and acne. This groundbreaking soap demonstrates the integration of ecological sustainability and soap production, combining natural healing with modern skincare requirements. Baeckea frutescens soap could become a popular alternative to commercial soaps due to its natural ingredients and therapeutic qualities.en_US
