Abstract
The present research focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal skin toner designed to reduce skin hyperpigmentation using natural, plant-based ingredients. The formulation includes extracts of Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Orange peel (Citrus sinensis), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), Green tea (Camellia sinensis), along with Aloe vera gel, Rose water, Glycerine, and Sodium benzoate as a preservative. These ingredients are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and tyrosinase-inhibitory properties, which contribute to skin brightening and depigmentation. The prepared toner was evaluated for its organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, stability, antioxidant activity (DPPH assay), and anti-tyrosinase activity, and was compared against a standard marketed formulation. The results demonstrated that the herbal toner showed significant potential in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone, with favorable physicochemical stability and user acceptability. The study concludes that herbal ingredients can be effectively used in dermatological formulations to manage skin pigmentation disorders in a safe and natural manner.
