Abstract :
The present research focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal face cream incorporating natural ingredients with proven dermatological benefits. The cream is composed of Aloe vera, Amla, cucumber peel extract, beeswax, white soft paraffin, and a blend of preservatives and humectants including methyl paraben, glycerin, propylene glycol, and sodium benzoate. These components were selected for their synergistic effects in enhancing skin health through moisturization, anti-inflammatory action, antioxidant protection, and antimicrobial activity. The formulation was prepared using standard homogenization techniques, followed by a comprehensive evaluation based on physicochemical and dermatological parameters. Key tests conducted included pH determination, spreadability, viscosity, washability, consistency, and a non-irritancy assessment on human volunteers. The optimized batch demonstrated favorable characteristics, including a pH of 6.7, excellent spreadability (7.4 g.cm/cm), appropriate viscosity (39015 cps), and non-irritant behavior, confirming its safety and effectiveness for topical application. Organoleptic attributes such as color, odor, and texture further enhanced consumer acceptability. The outcomes affirm the potential of herbal ingredients as efficacious alternatives to synthetic additives in cosmetic formulations. This study contributes to the growing field of herbal dermatology and supports the development of eco-friendly, biocompatible skincare products with minimal adverse effects.
