The present research focus towards formulating a herbal sanitizer wherein an oregano herb possessing anti-bacterial activities and a baobab extract possessing anti-inflammatory properties is mixed with ethanol along with glycerin, wherein glycerin act as a humectant and emulsifying agent to aid in preparation of a anti-bacterial herbal sanitizer. Carbomer was used as a gelling agent. The prepared sanitizer is then subjected to characterization studies which includes pH, viscosity, anti-microbial analysis, anti-bacterial efficacy, anti-oxidant assay, stability, and spreadability. After analyzing the results it was found that, the sanitizer possessed specific potent activity against pathogenic bacterial growth but was not harmful to skin.
