Type: article
Abstract: The increasing demand for herbal cosmetics is driven by their therapeutic benefits, natural ingredients, and consumer preference for eco-friendly products. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a poly-herbal cream incorporating Aloe Vera, Amla, and cucumber peel extracts, which are known for their beneficial effects on skin health. Aloe Vera, with its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, is used to treat sunburns, acne, and aging signs. Amla, rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, is effective in anti-aging, acne treatment, and skin brightening, while cucumber peel provides cooling, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory benefits. The cream was formulated through a two-phase process, combining oil and aqueous phases to create a semisolid emulsion. The formulated cream was evaluated based on physical parameters, including color, consistency, pH, Spredability, Washabality, and non-irritancy. The results showed that the cream had a smooth consistency, a pH of 6.8, and excellent Spredability and Washabality. No skin irritation was observed, making it a safe and effective product for topical use. The study demonstrates the potential of Aloe Vera, Amla, and cucumber peel extracts in the formulation of a therapeutic and cosmetologically beneficial herbal cream
