Skin aging is the results of a continual deterioration process damage to cellular DNA and protein. the main aim of our study is to develop a polyherbal anti aging cream. We have used herbal ingredients in our preparation which are butterfly pea flowers, aloe Vera gel, tulsi leaves, turmeric oil. This indicates the presence of anthocyanins, butterfly pea contains anthocyanin which are natural anti oxidant that slow down the aging process, tulsi leaves are used as an anti-bacterial and skin luminous, Aloe Vera gel used as a moisturizer and turmeric oil are used to brighten dark circle and reduce acne. These are some of the basic drugs used to formulate the cream. In quality evaluvation of formulation[f1-f5]were done on different parameters like pH, viscosity, spreadability and phase separation.F3 is better formulation than all other formulation.there were no change in physical properties of antiaging cream.
