Abstract: Herbal remedies have always been a key part of traditional medicine, with origins tracing back toancient eras, as mentioned in old texts like the Vedas. Among the many plant-based components, guava(Psidium guajava L.) stands out for its high content of beneficial compounds and healing qualities. Thisresearch investigates the creation of a facial serum using guava extract and assesses its stability,effectiveness, and advantages for consumers. Guava is rich in vitamin C, which is vital for producingcollagen, brightening the skin, and providing antioxidant defense. It also holds flavonoids, carotenoids,tannins, and polyphenols, which help combat aging, reduce inflammation, and fight bacteria. Organicacids, including ascorbic, citric, and malic acids, facilitate gentle peeling and skin regeneration, whileminerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc support hydration, healing of wounds, and themaintenance of the skin barrier. Serums are concentrated skincare items aimed at penetrating deeply andefficiently delivering active components. Unlike lotions and creams, serums are composed of smallermolecules that enhance both absorption and effectiveness. The development of a guava-infused facialserum focuses on keeping its bioactivity, ensuring stability, and enhancing sensory experiences to achievethe best outcomes. Its goal is to boost moisture, lessen the appearance of aging features, and shieldagainst environmental damage.
