Abstract –

Papaya seeds, licorice, aloevera, tulsi, vitamin E, and rose water were used to make the herbal soap. Ayurvedic cosmetics have no negative side effects and are quite helpful. Herbal cosmetics is another name for Ayurvedic cosmetics. Every plant material is easily accessible in the surrounding areas. Cosmetics are a crucial aspect of taking care of our bodies and skin because the pollution in today’s environment, especially UV rays, is harmful to humans and damages our skin. In tropical and subtropical regions of the world, papayas (Carica papaya L.) are a common and significant fruit tree. The fruit is utilized as a processed product or consumed as a fresh fruit and vegetable all over the world. The entire plant, Including the fruit, root, bark, peel, seeds, and pulp, is believed to have therapeutic qualities in addition to being tasty and nutritious. Papaya’s high vitamin A, B, and C content, as well as proteolytic enzymes with antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial qualities like papain and chymopapain, are responsible for its many health advantages.
