Abstract
The purpose of the present research work is to formulate and evaluate vanishing herbal cream. Herbal cream offers several advantages over other synthetic creams. The majority of vanishing creams prepared from synthetic origin (for e.g., acyclovir, triamcinolone, calcipotriene, triethanolamine, etc) gives extra fairness to face, but has several side effects such as itching, burning sensation and many other allergic reactions. Herbal creams do not have such side effects and it gives natural fairness to skin. Methods carried out for the preparation of herbal creams are very simple. Firstly, oil phase was prepared which was a mixture of stearic acid (17%), potassium hydroxide (0.5%), sodium carbonate (0.5%) melted at 70℃. Secondly, aqueous phase was prepared which was a mixture of alcoholic extract of crude drugs, including moringa, , was commercially available as extracts and are used either for cosmetic purpose or for medicinal use. Glycerine (6%), perfume (0.5%), water (71%) heated at 75℃. Then aqueous phase was added in oil phase at 75℃ with continuous stirring. Once, the procedure was completed it was allowed to cool at room temperature with continuous stirring. Perfume was added at last just before the product was transferred to suitable container. The above prepared herbal cream was evaluated and physical parameters such as pH, homogeneity by touch and visual, appearance, wash ability, consistency, patch test, irritancy test, accelerated stability studies were determined. Further studies are needed to investigate this formulation for its performance.
