Abstract

The remedies used to improve a person's look are called herbal cosmetics. The current study set out to create a herbal cream with antifungal, antibacterial, anti-acne properties, as well as moisturizing, nourishing, lightening, and treating a range of skin conditions. Various unrefined medications were consumed, including Curcuma longa (turmeric rhizomes), Nirgundi (Vitex negundo Linn), Azadirachta Indica (neem leaves). The cream is prepared by slab Technique. Final samples underwent accelerated stability testing in an environmental chamber with a temperature of 25 ± 100C and a humidity of 60 ± 10% RH. It was discovered that every product was stable, showing no evidence of phase separation or color change. Additionally, a patch test was performed for sensitivity testing, and there was no indication of any allergic reactions or skin irritation. This work primarily it focuses on evaluating the microbiological quality of prepared cosmetics. To everyone's amazement, both formulations passed the microbiological limit tests according to international standards.
