ABSTRACT

Aim: Cosmetics designed via incorporating natural sources such as herbs have been proven very fulfilling, in coping up with the present needs of different skin types. Considering these aspect research study aimed as formulation & evaluation of herbal face pack powder. Objective: As due to increased pollution, allergy, microbes etc, human skin has become more sensitive and prone to faster aging. An attempt has been made to synthesize a pack ideal for all skin types. After the synthesis, all the parameters have been calculated in order to meet up the quality standards. To achieve these objective the constituents were extracted from herbal ingredients such as Multani mitti, green tea, saffron, gram flour, turmeric, shwet chandan and milk powder. They were purchased from the local area of Balaghat (M.P.) and were dried separately, grinded, passed through sieve no 40, mixed homogenously. Five different formulation were prepared contain 10%(F1), 8%(F2),, 6%(F3),4%(F4), & 2%(F5), in variation of milk powder which is responsible for gloving skin. Formulations were then evaluated for parameters including organoleptic, physicochemical, rheological features, phytochemical, stability, and irritancy examination. Results: The dried powders of combined pack showed good flow property which is suitable for a face pack. Organoleptic evaluation showed that the pack is smooth and pleasant smelling powder. Rheological findings justified the flow properties of the pack as it was found to be free flowing and non-sticky in nature. The results proved that the formulation was stable on all aspects. Irritancy test showed the negative. Formulation F1 found high glowing in nature as compare to other however F5 contain 18% swat chandan have high cooling effect. Stability tests performed revealed the inert nature of the pack. Conclusion: In the present work, we formulated a pack, which can be easily made with the easily available ingredients. It showed all the benefits of a face pack and further optimization studies are required on its various parameters to find its useful benefits on the human beings.
