The goal of this study was to create and assess a topical herbal formulation that contained extract from Caralluma fimbriata. Ethyl acetate was used to extract the plant material, which was then added to an appropriate cream basis for external application. Important bioactive components including polysaccharides, tannins, saponins and flavonoids were found during preliminary phytochemical screening. A number of physicochemical characteristics, including as appearance, homogeneity, pH, spreadability and stability were assessed for the manufactured herbal cream. Easy application was indicated by the formulation's smooth texture, acceptable homogeneity, and satisfactory spreadability. The cream's pH was found to be within the skin's permissible range, indicating that topical application is safe. Positive physicochemical characteristics of the created herbal formulation suggested that it might be used as a topical medication that is both safe and efficient.
