Abstract

With organic materials, the goal of this project is to create and test a herbal face mask for glowing skin. A few of the vitamins needed to keep our faces healthy and radiant are part of the Natural Face Pack. Physico-chemical and organoleptic structures, stability and sensitivity tests, and microbial load were among the many criteria used to analyze the altered structure. Multani mitti, turmeric, aloe vera, neem, rose petal powder, sandalwood, and lemon peel are just a few of the natural materials that were purchased from local marketplaces in order to make and evaluate a herbal face pack for cosmetic usage. After meticulously measuring and precisely weighing each powdered natural ingredient, it was combined, sieved through a #120 grit screen, and examined for morphological parameters for the physicochemical, physical, phytochemical, irritancy, and stability analyses. Herbal face packs are used to maintain the skin's suppleness, increase muscle tone, and open up pores on the skin. The focus of this study is the examination and analysis of previous studies on herbal face packs.

DISCUSSION AND RESULT:

Physical Parameters:

Different formulations of face packs were created and evaluated based on physical characteristics. The flow property measure showed clear free-flowing character. The colors used in the formulation changed due to variations in the makeup of the components. The color of was greenish yellow, and the colors of were slightly yellow. Being able to tolerate the odor of manufactured formulations is ideal for cosmetic formulations. The particles' sizes ranged from 22.5-2.85m to 26.4-5.44m in the calculations. The neutral range is near the Hofall formula, which lies between 6 and 7. The amounts of moisture and ash were within the allowed limits.

Irritancy test:

When turmeric powder was added to formulations test subjects experienced slight discomfort. Developed by reducing the concentration of turmeric, formulations  did not produce redness, edema, inflammation, or irritation during irritancy testing. It is safe to use this mixture on the skin.

Stability Studies:

According to the stability tests, the formulation's pH was marginally altered at 40°C but not at ambient temperature or 35°C. Figure 3. A month of stability tests at 40°C revealed a little in the formulation's odor, but no color or odor change occurred under the other stability settings mentioned.

CONCLUSION:

The perception that natural medicines are safer and have fewer adverse effects than synthetic ones makes them more acceptable. There is an increasing demand for herbal formulations worldwide. In addition to helping to keep the skin supple and clean the pores, herbal face packs are used to increase blood flow and revitalize the muscles. We made a good effort in creating the herbal face pack with natural herbal materials including rice flour, turmeric, saffron, multani mitti, sandal wood, milk powder, and banana and orange peels.
