Abstract	The shift towards herbal and naturally derived skincare products has increased interest in plant-based cosmetic formulations. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a widely used medicinal plant known for its beneficial effects on skin due to its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. In this study, a rosemary-infused soap was formulated using the saponification technique to develop a natural skincare product. The prepared soap was evaluated for various physicochemical parameters, including pH, hardness, foam stability, moisture content and to determine its quality and stability. Skin irritation study was carried out to assess safety. The formulated herbal soap exhibited satisfactory physicochemical characteristics, good foaming properties, and a pH suitable for skin application. The soap also demonstrated effective activity without causing any signs of skin irritation. These findings indicate that rosemary-infused soap is a safe and effective herbal formulation with potential application in daily personal hygiene. The study supports the use of medicinal plant extracts as natural alternatives to synthetic ingredients in cosmetic products.
