Abstract

This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal face pack developed for the management of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Matricaria chamomilla (Chamomile) was selected as the primary bioactive ingredient due to its well-known antiinflammatory, antioxidant and skin-soothing properties. The face pack was formulated and optimized for topical application. The prepared formulation was subjected to various evaluation parameters, including organoleptic characteristics and physicochemical tests such as pH and moisture content. Stability studies were also carried out at different temperatures, along with analytical evaluation using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The results demonstrated that the formulation was stable and exhibited desirable properties, indicating its potential effectiveness in managing inflammatory skin conditions.
