Pharmacy

The idea that natural medicines are safer and have fewer negative effects than synthetic ones make them more acceptable. Herbal formulations have significant demand in the globe market. The current research work focuses aqueous extracts of neem leaves (Azadirachta indica), turmeric (Curcuma longa), aloe vera, lemon juice, peppermint oil, xantham gum and rose water were developed and evaluated as a natural anti-acne face wash. Although there are several topical herbal treatments for acne on the market, we suggest making a pure herbal formulation without the use of any synthetic ingredients. The plants have good anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, according to published reports. In order to prepare the different formulation batches, namely F1 to F3, different amounts of xanthum gum were used. The prepared formulations (F1 to F3) were evaluated based on a number of criteria, including color, consistency, washability, pH, and spreadability. From the evaluation studies it was concluded that the prepared formulations underwent satisfactory results tests for color, smell, consistency, pH, spreadability, washability, and grittiness. Batch F2 was shown to be the best spreadability across all the formulation studies. The herbal face wash with neem leaves, turmeric and aloe vera in its aqueous extract was a pretty successful attempt.
