The world market for natural cosmetic products reached $34.5 million in 2018 and $54.5 million in 2027. Due to increasing consumer awareness of natural cosmetic products, this research makes soap formulations made from Illipe oil with ingredients of organic ginger extract. With the addition of ginger extract, it can be an antibacterial alternative to solid soap. This study aims to determine the optimal composition of Illipe oil and active herbal ingredients and have the appropriate specifications to make formulations made from Illipe oil with quality, moisture effect, and skin health with better antibacterial activity. The observed characteristics were pH, foam antibacterial, moisture, hardness, and the test against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results of the transparency test showed that the soap with formula 2 had optimal conditions, i.e., a pH of 9.75, a foam inhibitor of 86%, hardness of 9.5 mm, and humidity of 76.9 AU. The ability to test bacteria against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli is 15 mm and 12 mm with a soap sample concentration of 500 mg/ml. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
