Abstract :
Skin aging is a gradual biological process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, with oxidative stress playing a major role. This review emphasizes the formulation and evaluation of herbal antioxidant-rich anti-aging creams utilizing natural extracts such as Aloe vera, green tea, turmeric, grape seed, pomegranate, and licorice. These botanicals contain polyphenols, flavonoids, and vitamins that neutralize free radicals, protect collagen and elastin fibers, and enhance skin elasticity. The review also highlights formulation techniques, evaluation parameters, and stability aspects, presenting herbal antioxidants as safe, effective, and sustainable alternatives to synthetic anti-aging agents.
