1. Epidermis – The top layer
2. Dermis – The middle layer
3. Hypodermis – Bottom/fatty layer [3]

Skin covers the complete body and act as the protective layer of body. They protect body from Harmful rays, Heat light, injure and Bacterial and Fungal type infection. Skin also contains different character and qualities such as they regulate the body temperature, act as sensory organ, store water and fat, stop entry of bacteria, prevent the body loss. Act as a barrier between the organism and environment, help body to make Vit.D when exposed to the sun.[2,5]

Skin consists of three types of layer that is epidermis dermis and subcutaneous/ hypodermis layer

1. Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin having thickness about 0.2 mm. It is also called as metabolic active tissue epidemics again classified into five layers i.e. stratum corneum, stratum lucidium, stratum granulosm, stratum spinosum and stratum Basale
2. Dermis is made up from collagen and elastic as well as fibroblast. Sweet gland present in the dermis. Removal of sweet and impurities is possible due to dermis layer. Due to attachment of Hair they make skin soft and smooth.
3. Subcutaneous layer is the deepest layer of the skin. It is also introduce as a fatty layer. They act as a thermostat mean regulate and maintain temperature and also protects the body. The presence of fat act as filter, protecting your muscles, bones and organ from the damage. subcutaneous layer is also known as Hypodermis layer.

7. Borax –

Borax combined with wax and used in many cosmetic products and act as stability agent.

8. Methyl Paraben –

Methyl Paraben used as a preservative

9. Liquid Paraffin –

Used as a soothing agent

Method of preparation :

1. Extraction of mint leaves –

Fresh leaves of Mentha Arvensis L. Were collected from home garden then the leaves are dried under sunlight for 7 to 8 days. 70 gm of dried leaves was crushed into powder then the 25 gm of powder form of mint was extracted by Soxhlet extraction method using methanol. 125 ml of methanol was used as solvent. The apparatus was continuously heated using a heating mantle. The sample was placed in extraction thimble. The solvent used for extraction process, which undergoes several cycles for about 3 to 4 hours was collected and then obtained solvent was concentrated by thermostatic water bath at 650C temperature.

2. Herbal cold cream preparation –

• Take required quantity of Bees wax and liquid paraffin in porcelain dish.
• Heat mixture in water bath for melting purpose. Remove dish from water bath.
• Take Borax and distilled water in beaker. Heat this solution in water bath for about 750 C.
• These borax solution add dropwise in porcelin dish with continuous stirring, add methyl paraben.
• Then add herbal ingredient like mint, coconut oil, honey, turmeric, and add Rose water for fragrance.
• And herbal cold cream was obtained.

EVALUATION OF CREAM

1. Irritation test –

Mark an area (1 sq.cm) on the left hand the cream was applied to the specified area and time was noted and Irritancy was checked up to 24 hours.

2. Physical evaluation –

• Colour
• Odour
• Texture
• State, are observed

3. Washability –

The cream was applied on hand and observed under running.

4. pH –

The pH Meter was calibrated with the help of standard buffer solution. Weigh 0.5 gm of cream dissolve in 50 ml distilled water and pH was measured with the help of digital pH meter.

5. Spreadability –

Cream placed between two slides and time taken.

Formula = M x L/t Where, M – weight of sample

L – glass of length T – Time taken

6. Greasiness –

Cream was applied on the skin surface in the form of smear and check smear was oily/greasy like.

7. Phase separation –

Cream kept in close container at temperature 25-1000 C away from light and check for 24 hrs.

8. Homogenesity –

Homogenesity was judge by visual appearance/touch.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION :

Following evaluation test performed to ensure nature of prepared cold (Herbal) cream.

1. Irritation test –

   ---

   
          
              
          
       
          
              
          

   ---

    

2. Washability – (easily washable/No)

pH –

Greasiness – (less greasy/No)

Phase separation – (Yes/No)
       
           
       
    

Spreadability – (easily spread/No)

Homogensity – (Good/Bad)

CONCLUSION :

By using different herbal ingredients like mint, coconut oil, honey, turmeric powder, rose water, the cold cream show the different effect and herbal ingredients show specific activities like mint show antibacterial activity and honey provide nourishment to the skin. The prepared cream mainly depends upon the mint extract because they provide cool effect to the skin. Based on the result and discussion, the formulation F1, F2 and F3 show differences in their evaluation parameter like pH range of cold cream are 5.6 to 6.8 But F1 having 5.4 and F2 having 6.83 means more and less pH respectively. But F3 show correct pH i.e 6.66. however F3 show the best result.

 Phytochemical Test :

The analysis of presence of main group of natural constituents present in plant extract was done using different reagent. Phytochemicals such as Phenol, Tannin, Glycoside, Flavonide, Alkaloid etc. were qualitative determined as following :
