Abstract

Moisturizing cream are semi solids preparation used for reduces the chances of skin problems and fights wrinkles. The main aim of the research work is to prepare the moisturizing creams using different herbs and the prepared moisturizing cream are evaluated for the efficacy. The herbs used in the preparations are dried Ficus racemose leaves powder and cucumber peels the formulated moisturizing creams are evaluated for the various irritancy, washability, ph, viscosity, phase separation, spread ability, compatibility test. The results shown that all formulation gave satisfied results.

Keywords

cucumber peels, Ficus racemose leaves powder moisturizing cream.

Introduction

Cream is a preparation usually for application to the skin. Creams are defining as "a semisolid dosage form containing one or more drug substances dissolved or dispersed in a suitable base “Creams are semi-solid emulsions of oil and water. O they are of a softer consistency & lighter body than true ointment. Semisolid emulsions of either o/w or w/o type. Moisturizer is a cosmetic preparation used for protecting, moisturizing, and lubricating the skin. These are creams which restore water (moisture) to the stratum corneum.

Water contained in the cream is lost by evaporation when the cream is applied to the body. Moisturizers are complex mixtures of chemical agents often occlusive help hold water in the skin after application, humectants attract moisture and emollients help smooth the skin.

Moisturizer cream is a skincare product used to hydrate and nourish the skin. It typically contains a combination of ingredients that help to increase the water content of the skin and prevent dryness, flakiness, and irritation. Moisturizer cream can be used on the face and body and is available in a range of formulas, including lightweight lotions, thicker creams, and balms.

Pharmacological activity: Cucumbers have several pharmacological activities that are beneficial to human health. Some of these activities include:

1. Antioxidant activity: Cucumbers are a good source of antioxidants such as vitamin C and beta-carotene, which can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

2.  Anti-inflammatory activity: Cucumbers contain compounds such as cucurbitacins and flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds may help reduce inflammation in the body and alleviate symptoms of conditions such as arthritis.

3. Anti-cancer activity: Some studies suggest that cucumbers may have anti-cancer properties due to their high antioxidant content and ability to reduce inflammation.

4. Skin health activity: Cucumbers contain vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for skin health. For example, vitamin C can help promote collagen production, while silica can help strengthen connective tissues in the skin.

Overall, cucumbers are a nutritious and healthy food that can provide several pharmacological benefits. (3,4,5,6)

  1. Anti-inflammatory activity: The ethanolic extract of Ficus racemosa has been found to possess anti-inflammatory activity in animal models. This activity is believed to be due to the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and other bioactive compounds.
  2. Antioxidant activity: Ficus racemosa is known to possess potent antioxidant activity due to the presence of phenolic compounds and flavonoids. These compounds scavenge free radicals and protect against oxidative damage.
  3. Anti-cancer activity: Ficus racemosa has been reported to possess anti-cancer properties, particularly against breast cancer cells. The plant extract has been shown to induce cell death and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.
  4. Wound healing activity

Stem bark ethanol extract showed healing in rat excision and incision wound models

  1. Antifungal

Plants showed potent inhibitory activity against six fungi. Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton vocalis, Candida albicans, Candida cruzi and Torulopsis glabrata (11,12,13,14,15)
