ABSTRACT

Natural remedies are more popular because it is belief that they are safe and have fewer side effects than synthetic treatments. There is a growing demand for herbal preparations in the commercial world. Therefore, the main aim of our work is to develop and evaluate facial cosmetics for radiant skin using natural ingredients. Four different formulas with different variations include ingredients like multani mitti, turmeric, aloe vera powder, starch, methi powder, coffee powder, hibiscus powder, rose powder and red gram;were prepared and named F1 to F4. All preparations were evaluated according to variables such as organoleptic properties, physicochemical parameters, stability as well as irritation and microbial load tests. Among all formulations, F4 has been shown to be physically harmless, does not irritate the skin, maintains its consistency even in a stable environment, and is also microbiologically stable.
