Abstract

Usually applied topically to the skin, creams are semi-solid dosage forms. Most of the creams that are currently on the market are made from synthetic drugs and provide additional facial fairness, but they have a number of negative effects, including allergic reactions and itching. These side effects are absent from herbal creams, which also give the skin a more radiant appearance. The herbal cream is essentially an emulsion of water and oil. Neem, liquorice root, aloe vera, and turmeric are the natural ingredients used to make the herbal cream. These ingredients were chosen based on their unique qualities. In essence, the cream is made using the cream base, which consist of methylparaben, liquid paraffin, beeswax, and borax. For example, accelerated stability studies, patch tests, smear tests, after feel, washability, physical properties, dye tests, in vitro diffusion studies, viscosity, irritancy, spreadability, microbial growth, thermal stability, homogeneity, acid value, saponification value, etc., can be used to evaluate these formulations. Cream containing herbal extracts significantly improved skin hydration and elasticity while lowering skin melanin. The main topics of this study are the manufacturing and evaluation of herbal creams, as well as some of the typical herbs utilized in these types of formulation.
