Introduction

Herbal cosmetics, also referred to as natural cosmetics, have become increasingly popular due to their safety and skin-friendly nature. These products help protect the skin from environmental damage while enhancing its appearance. Cosmetics are generally substances applied to parts of the body such as the face and hands, aiming to soothe, beautify, and improve one’s appearance—without altering the body’s structure or biological functions.

The term “cosmetic”  comes from the Greek word kosmetikos, which means “the art of decorating” or “having the power to beautify”.

SKIN: THE BODY’S LARGEST ORGAN

The skin is the largest organ in the human body, playing a vital role in protection and overall health. For an average adult, it spans a surface area of approximately 1.5 to 2.0 square meters. Skin thickness can differ across various parts of the body and also varies slightly between genders—around 1.3 mm in men and 1.26 mm in women. Structurally, the skin is made up of three key layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Its natural pH typically falls between 4.5 and 6, which helps maintain its protective barrier.

Fig No.:01   SKIN ANATOMY

Epidermis:

The outermost layer of the skin is the epidermis. It lacks blood vessels, so it receives nutrients through diffusion from the underlying dermis. The epidermis is primarily made up of several cell types: keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells. It is further divided into five sub-layers:

  • Stratum corneum
  • Stratum lucidum
  • Stratum granulosum
  • Stratum spinosum
  • Stratum basale (also known as stratum germinativum)

Dermis:

Located just beneath the epidermis, the dermis is a supportive layer made of connective tissue. It acts as a cushion, protecting the body from mechanical stress. This layer is connected to the epidermis via the basement membrane and houses structures like hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and apocrine glands.

Hypodermis:

Though not technically part of the skin, the hypodermis lies below the dermis. It is made up of loose connective tissue, fat (adipose tissue), and elastin fibers. Key cell types here include fibroblasts, macrophages, and adipocytes. This layer provides insulation and cushioning, helping to regulate body temperature and absorb shocks.

Skin Types and Their Descriptions

Normal Skin

Balanced and healthy-looking skin with a smooth texture, even tone, and no noticeable dryness or oiliness. Pores are small and barely visible.

Dry Skin

Feels tight, rough, or flaky due to low oil (sebum) production. It may appear dull and is more prone to irritation, cracking, or redness.

Oily Skin

Appears shiny or greasy, especially on the face. Often has enlarged pores and is more likely to develop acne, blackheads, and other blemishes.

Combination Skin

Features a mix of skin types usually oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and normal to dry on the cheeks and outer areas of the face.

Functions of Skin

  1. Protects the body from harmful germs, chemicals, and physical damage.
  2. Helps control body temperature by sweating and adjusting blood flow.
  3. Allows us to feel touch, pain, heat, and cold through nerve endings.
  4. Stops the body from losing too much water and keeps skin hydrated.
  5. Absorbs small amounts of substances like creams or medicines.
  6. Acts as a water-resistant layer to protect the inside of the body[1].

PEEL- OFF FACE MASK

A peel-off mask is a skincare product applied as a thin layer over the face, usually with fingers or a Brush. After it dries completely, the mask forms a flexible film that can be gently peeled away. This process helps clear out pores, remove dirt and impurities, and leaves the skin feeling firmer, refreshed, and revitalized. In addition to cleansing, peel-off masks can also lightly hydrate the skin and create a barrier that boosts blood circulation, stimulates skin cells, and supports the removal of toxins[2].

Peel-off masks not only help cleanse the skin but can also offer mild moisturizing benefits and create a barrier on the skin that boosts blood circulation. One of the major concerns for skin health is exposure to UV light, which can trigger oxidative stress by generating free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These harmful molecules can accumulate in the skin and contribute to cell damage, premature aging, redness (erythema), and even skin cancer.To combat these effects, antioxidants are used to neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative damage. While synthetic antioxidants have been commonly used, there are growing concerns about their safety and potential side effects. As a result, there's increasing interest in using natural antioxidants in skincare formulations as a safer alternative.Cosmetic products enriched with antioxidants can help protect the skin from premature aging caused by environmental stressors. Among the various types of skincare available today, peel-off gel masks stand out for their ease of use, attractive packaging, and beneficial effects on the skin. These masks form a thin film once dry, which helps tighten the skin and remove impurities. Peel-off masks are also popular in anti-aging treatments, as they can help slow down the visible signs of skin aging by promoting skin health and renewal[3].

Types of Face Masks

Face masks today are available in four main types, each offering unique benefits for different skincare needs:

1. Peel-Off Masks

These masks are applied as a single layer and left to dry for about 30 minutes. Once dried, they are peeled away from the skin in one smooth motion. They help lift away dead skin cells, impurities, and dull surface layers, revealing smoother, fresher-looking skin underneath. Peel-off masks are especially known for their deep-cleansing and skin-renewing effects.

2. Sheet Masks

Sheet masks are fabric or cellulose sheets soaked in nutrient-rich serums. They're designed for specific skin concerns like

  • Brightening
  • Anti-aging
  • Anti-sebum.

The sheet helps keep the active ingredients in place, allowing for better absorption without the need for heavy stabilizers. They’re easy to use, mess-free, and ideal for quick skin nourishment.

3. Leave-On Masks

These masks usually come in cream or gel form and are packed with moisturizing ingredients. They're applied and left on the skin for 15–30 minutes—or even overnight. Unlike regular creams, they have a richer formula with higher amounts of oils and humectants to deeply hydrate and soften the skin.

4. Clay/Charcoal Masks

Clay or charcoal-based masks are best suited for oily or acne-prone skin. These ingredients help draw out toxins, unclog pores, and absorb excess oil. However, since they can also support microbial growth if not handled correctly, it's important they’re properly preserved and formulated for safe use[4].

In summary, This Herbal peel-off face masks blend traditional plant-based knowledge with modern skincare innovation, providing a gentle yet effective way to care for the skin. Ingredients like coconut water and aloe vera juice work together with other natural components to deeply cleanse the skin while offering soothing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits. This combination not only refreshes the skin but also supports long-term skin health and a natural glow.

COMMON INGRIDIENTS USED IN THE PREPARATION

1. Coconut water (Cocos nucifera):

Coconut water, the clear liquid found inside young coconuts, is widely appreciated for its natural composition and health-supporting benefits. It mainly consists of water about 94%—making it a great natural hydrator. Along with that, it contains small amounts of natural sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose, which give it a mild sweetness. Though low in protein and fat, it’s rich in essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and manganese, contributing to its nutritional value and therapeutic potential.Coconut water is widely enjoyed as a refreshing natural beverage, but beyond hydration, it serves an important role in traditional medicine. Known for its rich nutrient content and healing properties, it is often used to support overall health, aid digestion, and help in rehydration during illness or after physical exertion[6,7].

2. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller):

Aloe Vera, a well-known plant from the Asphodelaceae (formerly Liliaceae) family, is packed with over 75 beneficial compounds. These include essential vitamins (like A, C, and E), minerals, sugars, enzymes, amino acids, and more. Together, these nutrients help keep the skin hydrated, soothe irritation, and speed up the healing of wounds.Aloe Vera is also known for its ability to reduce inflammation and protect the skin from damage caused by UV and gamma rays. It supports the immune system, has mild laxative properties, and offers antiviral, anti-aging, and antiseptic benefits. Additionally, it helps other active ingredients absorb better into the skin, making skincare products even more effective when used with Aloe Vera[3].

Aloe vera juice Preparation: Fresh aloe vera leaves were collected from a local botanical garden and properly identified. The outer layer was carefully removed to extract the inner gel. The gel was rinsed, then blended using a mechanical stirrer. It was filtered through muslin cloth to eliminate impurities and finally stored in a sealed container to prevent contamination[8].

3. Polyvinyl alcohol:

Polyvinyl alcohol, often called PVA, is a synthetic (man-made) polymer known for its strong adhesive qualities. It’s made up of molecules that include both vinyl and alcohol groups. This combination gives PVA several useful properties—it dissolves in water, has a crystalline structure, and is flammable due to the presence of alcohol groups.Polyvinyl alcohol is a versatile ingredient commonly used in skincare products. It helps hold the product together by acting as a binder, forms a smooth film on the skin's surface, and works as a thickener especially for oil-based components giving the product a better texture and consistency[5,9].

4. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC):

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a semi-synthetic compound derived from methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl ether. Its empirical formula is C8H15O8-(C10H18O6)n-C8H15O8, and it has an approximate molecular weight of 86,000. HPMC appears as a white to off-white fibrous or granular powder that is both odorless and tasteless. When mixed with water, it dissolves easily to form a transparent or slightly milky solution with noticeable viscosity .Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is a skin-friendly ingredient made from plant-based cellulose. It plays an important role in skincare products, especially peel-off masks, where it helps to create a smooth, even texture. This version of HPMC has a medium thickness, making it ideal for forming soft, flexible layers that peel off easily without causing discomfort. It also helps mix and spread herbal ingredients evenly throughout the product. Thanks to its gentle nature, it’s safe for all skin types and doesn’t cause irritation, making it a trusted choice in natural and herbal beauty formulations[10].

5. Avacado Seed Powder (Percea americana):

Avocado (Persea americana), a member of the Lauraceae family, is not only valued for its fruit but also for its nutrient-rich seed. The seed contains essential nutrients like proteins, fiber, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, along with vitamins (C, E, K, B1, B2, B6, B9) and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. It is also rich in phytochemicals like flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and antioxidants. These components contribute to various health benefits, including antioxidant, antihypertensive, antifungal, cholesterol-lowering, and anti-parasitic effects. With such a strong nutritional and medicinal profile, avocado seeds hold promise for both health and skincare applications[11].

6. Vitamin-E Capsule (Tocopherol):

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient well known for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an essential part of the body’s natural defense system.Vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant, is commonly used in cosmetics to fight oxidative stress,boost skin repair, and slow aging. Easily added to liquid masks, it improves texture, reduces inflammation, protects against UV and pollution damage, and supports hydration—making it essential for healthy, radiant skin in herbal face masks[12].

7. Rose water:

Rose water, often called rose hydrosol or floral water, is made from the petals of roses belonging to the Rosaceae family. It’s mainly sourced from Asia, though some varieties also grow in North America, Europe, and North Africa. Known for its gentle yet effective skincare properties, rose water has long been used to treat acne, tone the skin, and soothe tired eyes. Packed with antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatory agents, it’s a perfect addition to herbal peel-off face masks. It helps hydrate the skin, balance pH levels, minimize redness, tighten pores, and refresh dull, tired skin suitable for all skin types[4].

8. Ethanol:

Ethanol is commonly used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products for its multiple benefits. In peel-off face masks, around 5% ethanol is added to act as a solvent and to help maintain the consistency of the formulation. It also works as a mild antimicrobial agent, supporting product preservation. Additionally, ethanol enhances the absorption of active ingredients into the skin and provides a refreshing feel. Its fast-evaporating nature also aids in the quick drying of peel-off masks after application[13].

9. Benzyl Alcohol:

Benzyl alcohol is commonly used as an antimicrobial preservative in various products, including cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceuticals. It's often added to both oral and injectable medicines in amounts up to 2% by volume to help prevent microbial growth. In cosmetic products, it can be used in slightly higher amounts—up to 3%—to maintain product safety and shelf life.Beyond its role as a preservative, benzyl alcohol also works as a solubilizer when used at around 5% concentration, helping other ingredients dissolve more effectively This makes it useful in certain medications like injectables, coughsyrups, eye drops, ointments, and dermatological sprays, where soothing or numbing effects may be beneficial alongwith preservation[13] .

METHOD OF PREPARATION

  1. Procedure involved in the Preparation:
  • All the ingredients were prepared, weighed and measured to prepare peel off mask gel at different varying concentrations.
  • The formulation is prepared by gently heating a measured amount of water-based solvent in a clean container.
  • A film-forming agent is slowly added with constant stirring to ensure a smooth and lump-free mixture.
  • After the solution cools to room temperature, herbal extracts and natural actives ingredients are added one by one, mixing well after each addition.
  • A plasticizer is included to improve the flexibility and ease of application of the mask.
  • Humectants and emollients are blended in to enhance skin hydration and provide a soft texture.
  • Finally, a preservative is mixed in evenly. The formulations are then checked for clarity and consistency, filled into containers, labeled, and set aside for further evaluation.
  1. Procedure of Peel off Face mask Application:
  • Cleanse the face thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or excess oil. Make sure the skin is completely clean and dry before applying the mask.
  • Open the container and take a suitable amount of the Gel using clean fingertips or a brush.
  • Gently apply a thin, even layer across the face, taking care to avoid the delicate areas around your eyes, eyebrows, and lips.
  • Allow the mask to dry naturally -this typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the application and room conditions.
  • Once the mask has dried fully and feels tight on your skin, slowly peel it off, starting from the edges and working upward.
  • Rinse off any remaining residue with lukewarm water and gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel[5] .

EVALUATION PARAMETERS

1. Organoleptic Evaluation

The physical characteristics of the prepared herbal peel-off mask were carefully evaluated to ensure its aesthetic appeal and usability.

  • Color: The color of the herbal peel-off mask was observed by placing a small amount of the formulation against a white background. This helped in clearly identifying the shade and uniformity of the product.
  • Appearance: Visual inspection was done to assess the overall look of the formulation, ensuring it appeared smooth and free from any lumps or irregularities.
  • Consistency: A thin layer of the mask was applied to the skin to evaluate its consistency. It was checked for evenness and ease of spreading during application.
  • Texture: The texture was felt between the fingers to ensure a smooth, non-gritty surface, suitable for facial use.
  • Odor: A small portion of the product was mixed in water, and the resulting aroma was assessed to ensure the fragrance was pleasant and not overpowering[2].

2.Physiochemical Evaluation

  • pH Measurement Test :

The pH of the formulated herbal peel-off mask was assessed using pH indicator strips to ensure its compatibility with the skin. A small portion of each formulation was dispersed in distilled water, and a pH strip was immersed in the mixture. The resulting color change was compared with the standard color chart provided with the strips. Across different formulations, the pH values were found to range between 6.0 and 6.5. This slightly acidic to neutral range is ideal for maintaining the natural pH balance of facial skin, minimizing the risk of irritation and making the product suitable for regular use[14].

  • Spreadability Test :

To evaluate the spreadability of the formulation, exactly 1 gram of the sample was placed on a clean sheet of butter paper. A watch glass or glass petri dish was gently placed over it. To ensure even compression and uniform thickness, a 5-gram weight was carefully set on top of the watch glass and left in place for 2 minutes. After removing the weight and the watch glass, the diameter of the spread formulation was measured to assess how well it spread under the given conditions[15,16].

Formula for Spreadability:

Based on the diameter measured after applying weight, spreadability (S) can be calculated using the following general approach:

Spreadability S= πD24

Where,

D = Diameter of formulation after compression (cm)

 π=3.14

 (Approximate value)

  • Drying Time Test:

The drying time of a peel-off face mask is a crucial factor for user convenience and overall satisfaction. In this test, the time taken for the applied formulation to completely dry on the skin was carefully observed. Across various herbal formulations tested, the drying time was found to vary between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the composition and thickness of application. A faster drying mask (closer to 10 minutes) is usually more desirable, especially for users with busy routines, while slightly longer drying times may indicate a thicker or more nourishing formulation. One of the tested formulations consistently dried within 15 minutes, which is considered ideal for ease of use. This parameter not only affects user comfort but also determines how well the film forms and peels off. Ensuring the right balance in drying time helps achieve effective application without excessive waiting or incomplete drying[16].

  • Stability Testing :

Stability testing was carried out by storing the herbal peel-off mask at different temperatures to evaluate how well it maintains its quality under varying conditions. The formulation was exposed to a range of temperatures including 20°C, 40°Cand 60°C, and was visually inspected for any changes in appearance, texture, or consistency. The results showed that the product remained stable, maintaining its original characteristics, up to 40°C. However, at higher temperatures of  60°C, noticeable changes were observed, indicating the formulation began to degrade or lose its effectiveness. This suggests that the mask is best stored in cool to moderate conditions to ensure its longevity and maintain its intended performance[16].

  • Folding Endurance Test :

Folding endurance is a measure of the film’s flexibility and mechanical strength, indicating how resistant the dried peel-off mask is to cracking or tearing. In this evaluation, a small strip of the dried film was repeatedly folded at the same point until it broke. The number of successful folds before the film cracked was recorded. Among different formulations, the folding endurance ranged from 20 to 50 folds, revealing variations in film strength based on ingredient composition and polymer concentration. A formulation that could withstand 20 to 50 folds without breaking demonstrated excellent flexibility and durability, which is vital for easy removal from the face without tearing into pieces. A high folding endurance ensures that the mask can be peeled off smoothly in one piece, enhancing user experience. This test reflects the film’s ability to maintain integrity during handling and is an important indicator of the mask’s practical performance[16].

  • Peelability Test:

The peel-off test was performed to evaluate how effectively the formulation forms a removable film on the skin. A uniform layer of the peel-off mask was applied to the back of the hand and allowed to dry naturally. Depending on the formulation’s thickness and composition, the drying time ranged from 10 to 30 minutes. After the mask dried completely, it was gently lifted from one edge and peeled away. The film separated smoothly from the skin without cracking or breaking, indicating proper film formation. This test helps confirm the formulation’s ability to create a flexible, cohesive layer that remains intact during removal. A good peel-off property ensures easy application and contributes to a better user experience[17].

3. Washability Test :

To assess how easily the peel-off mask can be removed after application, a washability test was conducted. A thin layer of the prepared formulation was applied directly onto the skin surface. After allowing it to dry completely, the area was rinsed gently with plain water to observe whether the formulation left any sticky or oily residue. The test focused on evaluating whether the product could be cleaned off effortlessly without requiring any harsh scrubbing. The results showed that the mask had good washability  it came off smoothly with water and did not cause any discomfort or skin dryness. This indicates that the formulation is user-friendly and can be easily removed as part of a regular skincare routine[2].

4. Skin Irritation Test (Patch Test):

To check the skin compatibility and ensure the peel-off mask does not cause irritation or allergic reactions, a patch test was carried out. A small amount of the formulation was applied to two common sensitivity-prone areas: the inner side of the forearm (hand portion) and behind the ear (ear portion). These areas were chosen because they can reveal early signs of irritation. The formulation was left in place for a specified duration, after which it was gently removed and the skin was observed for any signs of redness, itching, swelling, or rash. No adverse reactions were recorded, suggesting that the product is safe for topical use and well-suited for various skin types when used as directed[2].
