Introduction
This is a product proposal for particularly the beauty soap industry. Here, a timely, feasible, profitably potent and environment friendly product concept has been portrayed.

If the overall market segmentation is made from economic perspective, all the existing brands fall into two segments-
• Economic/ General Segment: Lux, Meril, Keya, Tibbet, Cosco, Aromatic.
• Premium segment: Dove, Sandalina, Imperial Leather, Palmolive, Camay, Cinthol, Fa.
There are some other brands in the industry like Lifebuoy, Detol, Savlon, who particularly claim themselves as anti-bacterial body soaps.
