Shea butter is a fatty raw material derived from shea nut and is associated with skin softening as well as inflammatory and healing properties. This study aimed to explore the potential of the Shea butter for soap production and assayed of its medicated usage. Oil (65.8g) was extracted from the Shea fruit using soxhlet extraction with n-hexane as the extracting solvent. The physicochemical properties of the extracted shea butter oil have saponification value (63.76mg/KOH), acid value (1.45mg/KOH), iodine value (85.26I2/100g) and specific gravity (0.91). The FT-IR spectra of the oil showed absorption peaks at 2918.5cm-1 ; 1738.8cm-1 and 1463.0cm-1 which is ascribed for alkane, carbonyl and cyclic alkene groups respectively. Furthermore, physicochemical properties of the formulated soap showed foaming value (2.6cm) and pH value (9.63). Formulated shea butter soap exhibited stronger antimicrobial effects against Staphylococcus aureus (44 mm) and Candida albicans (24 mm) than DuduOsun soap (14 mm and 12 mm), especially at 500 mg/cm3 concentration. The physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity of shea butter oil infer it viability as a potent raw material for production of medicated toilet soap.
