The studies and research indicated above show that coffee soap possesses anti-aging, anti-cancer, and anti-cellulite characteristics. Glycerine, coconut oil, clear soap base, steric acid, and sodium hydroxide are some of the substances employed in medications to treat various skin conditions. 2.

PULP EXTRACTS AS A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF WHITENING AGENTS The aims of this study were to determine antioxidants and anti-tyrosinase activities of coffee pulp extract, then stability evaluation of lotion from the extract so that coffee pulp may be finally used in cosmetic products. Coffee pulp extracts showed antioxidant activity and expressed anti-tyrosinase activities 40 % inhibition. Besides, their active compounds, caffeine and caffeic acid, revealed strongly inhibit tyrosinase activity with 45- 47 % inhibition.

Efficacy of cocoa pod extract as antiwrinkle gel on human skin surface Cocoa pods are abundant waste materials of cocoa plantation, which are usually discarded onto plantation floors. On the other hand, cocoa pods potentially contain antioxidant compounds. Antioxidant compounds are related to the protection of skin from wrinkles and can be used as functional cosmetic ingredients. Therefore, in this study, cocoa pods were extracted and to be used as active ingredients for anti-wrinkles.
RATIONALE :- Both coffee and cocoa powder are rich in antioxidants, which help fight free radicals that can damage skin cells and contribute to premature aging. These antioxidants can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, promoting a more youthful complexion. Caffeine is known to stimulate blood flow, which can promote collagen production and improve skin elasticity, leading to firmer, more toned skin over time. The natural oils present in cocoa and coffee can help moisturize and hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. This can be especially beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin, as it helps restore the skin's natural moisture barrier. The aroma of coffee and cocoa may have anti-bacterial properties, which could help to reduce the risk of skin infections. coffee and cocoa is often associated with comfort and relaxation, offering potential stress-relieving benefits.

PREPARATION METHOD OF OIL BASE SOAP: -
PREPARATION METHOD OF GLYCERINE BASE SOAP
EVALUATION TEST: - pH of the soap: - 1% of soap solution was prepared by dissolving 1g of soap in distilled water in a volumetric flask of 100ml. The pH of soap was measured in triplicate form using Lab care export Digital pH meter. Electrode was introduced into the solution and the pH was recorded. Foam foaming ability: - 1g of soap was taken and was dissolved in 50ml distilled water in a 100ml measuring cylinder. Then shake the measuring cylinder for about 2 to 3 minutes and it was allowed to stand for about 10minutes and measure the foam height. Retention time of foam: - Foam retention time refers to the time for which the foam produced by the soap retains. The above procedure was repeated and the foam interval was measured for about 5 to 10 minutes.
EVAUATION TEST: - Saponification value determination: - For the determination of saponification value about 2g of the soap sample was taken in a conical flask and 0.5ml KOH solution was added to it. This mixture was heated about 55˚ Celsius along with stirring continuously on a hot water bath. Then the temperature was further increased 100˚ Celsius and boiling was continued for about 1hour titration was performed with phenolphthalein was an indicator and 0.5M HCl. The end point observed is pink color disappearance. Saponification Value : Average volume of KOH × 28.056/ Weight of oil
EVAUATION TEST: - Determination of total fatty matter: - The procedure is carried out by the reaction of the soap with an acid in association of hot water. In this approximately 10g of soap was taken and dissolved in 150ml distill water. It was dissolved by heating. Then the soap solution was treated with 20% Sulfuric acid and heated till the solution gets cleared. Fatty acids would be observed at the surface or the film which were then solidified by the addition of 7g of bees wax and again heated. Odor: - The smell of formulation was checked by applying preparation on hand and feels the fragrance of perfume. Color & shape: - Color and shape was checked by naked eye.
RESULT OF OIL BASE SOAP: - SR. NO. PARAMETERS SAMPLE 1. pH 7.5 2. Color Brownish black 3. Foam foaming ability 10 ml 4. Retention time of foam 8-10 minute 5. Saponification value 140.5 g/ml 6. Total fatty matter 69 %
RESULT OF GLYCERINE BASE SOAP: - SR. NO. EVALUATION PARAMETERS SAMPLE 1. pH 7.8 2. Color Brown 3. Foam foaming ability 12 ml 4. Retention time of foam 10-13 minute 5. Saponification value 157.5 g/ml 6. Total fatty matter 72 %
CONCLUSION: - The herbal soap was prepared by using cold process technique and were found to be without particle transparent components which are used in formulation having good compatibility without any changes. Cold process method is quick, least expensive in compare to hot process. Through cold process method oil base soap can be made and through hot process method glycerin base soap can be made. The present work is a novel herbal soap formulation using coffee contains alkaloids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, terpenoids and so on.
