This research evaluates the effectiveness of an herbal cream formulation in providing moisturizing properties and skin benefits.
This study presents the formulation and evaluation of an herbal-based moisturizing cream using ginger (Zingiber officinale), honey (Madhu), and pomegranate (Punica granatum), chosen for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, humectant, and skin-rejuvenating properties. The cream was prepared by the fusion method and developed into seven formulations (F1–F7), evaluated for appearance, pH, viscosity, spreadability, washability, stability, and irritation. Among them, F5 showed the most suitable characteristics, with a pH of 5.3, viscosity of 108.3 mPa·s, excellent spreadability (2.5 cm²/sec), and easy washability without irritation. The results suggest herbal creams are safe, effective, and sustainable alternatives to synthetic moisturizers.
