Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Prunus cerasoides, also known as PADMAKA, is a tree found in the Himalayan region. It has been used in ayurveda because it contains natural compounds that help to resolve the skin problems. This study aims to formulate and evaluate a face serum using PADMAKA, combining traditional herbal knowledge with modern cosmetic science. In this study we formulate the face serum using appropriate ingredients and also characterized the pH, thickness and spreadability of formulation. Safety parameters such as skin irritation and germ contamination tests are performed. The serum's effects on skin hydration, brightening, and anti-aging was also studied on lab scale and real-life use. Finally, people's opinions will be collected to see if the serum is effective and can be sold in the market. The obtained results conclude that the formulated PADMAKA-based serum is safe, stable, and useful for natural skincare.
