📄 Abstract
Herbal cosmetics are widely used due to their safety and fewer side effects compared to synthetic products. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal face cream containing Crocus sativus and Aloe vera, which possess significant antioxidant and skin-protective properties. Crocus sativus contains active compounds such as crocin and crocetin that help reduce oxidative stress and improve skin complexion, while Aloe vera provides moisturizing, soothing, and healing effects due to the presence of vitamins and polysaccharides. The herbal face cream was formulated using suitable base ingredients and evaluated for physicochemical parameters including appearance, pH, spreadability, homogeneity, and stability. The antioxidant activity of the formulation was also assessed using standard in-vitro methods. The results indicated that the prepared cream showed good stability and appreciable antioxidant activity. Hence, the formulation may serve as a safe and effective herbal cosmetic for skin care.
