Abstract

This work is focused on Preparation and Evaluate a cosmetic Herbal Face Wash by using natural ingredient. The cleansing has progressed immensely over several thousand years from simply scraping the skin to an exercise in relaxation and improvement in the skin's health and appearance in the present day. a few years ago, cleansing was done by using a piece of bone or stone to scrape the skin. Behind time civilizations used materials of plant origin along with water for cleansing. Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition of the pilocebaceous unit characterised by increased sebum production by sebaceous glands and aberrant desquamation of hair follicles as a result of rising androgen levels as puberty approaches. Follicular obstruction produces follicular distention, which is commonly accompanied by the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes proliferating and an inflammatory reaction being triggered. The goal of this study was to use Carbomer Ultrez 20 to create and test a herbal face wash gel including extracts of Azadirachta indica (Neem), Curcuma longa (Haldi), Carica Papaya (papaya), Aloe berbadandis (Aloe Vera), Citrus limon (Lemon). The plants have been shown to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties in the literature. The prepared formulation was tested for a variety of criteria.

Formulation of gel

All ingredients weighed accurately and it is given in Table no. 1. Gels were formulated using Carbopol 940 was dispersed in distilled water with continuous stirring. In another beaker, propyl paraben (0.03mg) and methyl paraben (0.05mg) and sodium lauryl sulphate was dissolved in 5ml of distilled water. The extracts were added into prepared solution and triturated well. The above mixture was then added to the Carbopol mixture and stirred well. Finally propylene glycol and triethanolamine was added to adjust pH 6.9. ref.no.7,1.
