ABSTRACT

In order to get healthy looking skin, skin must be clean regularly to remove all the dirt, sebum, dead cells, etc. This will protect our skin primarily and help to make it beautiful. For this cleaning, several marketed products are already available that will clean the skin but also having some adverse effects due to its chemical usage. The addition of herbal extracts to these products will gives us beautiful nourishment of our skin and overcome the adverse effects caused by the chemicals and overcome the environmental contamination to our skin. Our study tried to overcome this problem by the addition of natural ingredients into the facial scrub. The method incorporated into this study was simple mixing of the natural ingredients like neem, tulsi, aloevera, almond oil, mixed with the gelling agent carbopol of grade 934. Further additions of preservatives, flavouring agents are incorporated to form a homogeneous mixture. This cream was then formulated and further evaluated as per the investigations like organoleptic properties and other characterizations like spreadability, irritability, extrudability, etc. All these parameters are found satisfactory and tend to reformulate the facial scrub at the boosting level on our skin as compared to the other marketed chemical products. This scrub shows promising challenging effect that imparts a glow and overcome the blemishes, darkness, and acne type problems of skin.
