FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF ANTI-AGING CREAM USING GRAPE POWDER

Abstract

Skin ageing is a natural human "ageing mosaic" that manifests over time and takes different trajectories. The biological process of skin ageing is intricate and is impacted by both endogenous (intrinsic) and exogenous (extrinsic) elements. Several anti-aging formulas have been created in recent years due to the fact that skin health and attractiveness are thought to be among the primary aspects indicating general "well-being" and the sense of "health" in humans. The intention of this work is to formulate and evaluate antiaging cream using grape powder. Loaded with antioxidants for healthy, glowing skin, grapes have also found their way into the cosmetic industry. Grape extract inhibits the action of enzymes such as hyaluronidase, collagenase and elastase which are responsible for premature aging of the skin and also provides UV protection. The cream was formulated with aloe vera gel, neem oil, grape powder, olive oil of different concentrations. The evaluation of the formulations was done on different parameters like pH, spreadability, stability, irritancy, viscosity, total antioxidants capacity, etc. According to this research, the extracts and cream base's composition is stable and safe, and it could even have a synergistic effect. It can be concluded that herbal creams with antioxidant properties can be used as a barrier to preserve the skin and delay the ageing process. These creams have no adverse effects.
