Abstract

The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal night cream, named Golden Era, using naturally derived ingredients with known dermatological benefits. The formulation includes turmeric extract, olive oil, lavender oil, vitamin E, rose water, beeswax, and borax. These ingredients were selected for their combined properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, moisturizing, and skin-brightening effects. The cream was prepared using a simple emulsification method and tested for multiple parameters including patch testing, moisturization, brightening effect, anti-aging properties, and stability. The results demonstrated excellent skin compatibility, significant improvement in skin brightness, hydration, and elasticity, and a high level of user satisfaction. The formulation retained its stability and efficacy over a six-month observation period, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative in skincare applications.
