With increased consumer awareness about health and hygiene for personal safety in view of harmful effects of chemicals used in textile processes and products, emphasis on use of herbal products has been increasing day by day. Health friendly baby care products are more in demand to take care of baby’s sensitive skin and avoid common skin problems. The present exploratory study was conducted in Udaipur city of Rajasthan on 50 mothers of young babies below three years of age, using structured interview schedule. Findings revealed that majority of the respondents had good knowledge about baby care products and opined that these products used to give satisfactory performance in use but at the same time found them quite expensive to use.Keywords

Neem oil microcapsule gel was successfully prepared with wall material including gelatin and gum Arabic using coacervation technique by the researcher as an outcome of standardization of microencapsulation process of volatile oil of Azadirachta indica. An essential oil is the volatile lipophilic component extracted from plants. The use of medicinal plants is a universal phenomenon. The plant Neem belongs to the big mahogany family of Meliaceae and the genus Azadirachta of A. indica. The diverse biological activities of Neem essential oils can be applied on a large scale as antioxidant, antimicrobial agents comprising many important benefits including their volatility, lower level of risk to the environment than with synthetic ones. Findings of the study revealed that best results of microcapsules formation using Neem oil were obtained when the ratio of oil:gum:gelatin was kept 2:4:4, at optimized 50°C temperature having initial pH 4.5 and final pH 9.5.Keywords
