Development and Evaluation of Polyherbal Face Pack with Antibacterial Effect

Abstract

Cosmetics are the fastest-growing segment in the cosmetics industry, experiencing unparalleled growth. Cosmeceuticals, which combine medicinal and cosmetic qualities, have emerged as a key factor in the pursuit of healthier, more beautiful skin. Natural substances have been critical in the creation of cosmetics, providing efficacy without the negative side effects associated with synthetic compounds. The trend towards herbal-based goods is gaining attraction, motivated by a need for purity and safety. This study focuses on the ability of certain herbal compounds, such as Aloe vera, Neem, Papaya fruit, Almond, and Tulsi, to address a variety of skincare conditions, such as antioxidants, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, wrinkles, and deep cleansing. With their distinct chemical constituents, these herbs provide treatments for pimples, acne, blemishes, pigmentation, and skin suppleness. All powder ingredients created fine powder with using sieve mesh no. 44. The formulation procedure, which entailed properly mixing all of the formulation using a geometrical method with variable powder weights, was subjected to thorough testing, which included organoleptic, rheological, physicochemical, irritancy, and washability studies. All formulations such as F1, F2, F3, and F4 were created. The findings corroborate the face pack's quality, safety, and usability. Formulation F1 was chosen as the best option across all studies, demonstrating its commercialization and market availability potential. Additional research and development routes may be pursued to investigate its prolonged performance and effectiveness.
