ABSTRACT:

Everyone desires to have fair and attractive skin. Acne, blackheads, and pimples are becoming widespread among those suffering from it. According to Ayurveda, skin disorders are usually caused by blood impurities. The goal of this project is to create and analyze a herbal face pack for glowing skin utilizing natural herbal components. Natural herbal components such as rice flour, rose petal powder, sweet lemon peel powder, shwet chandan, milk powder, Multani mitti, strawberry powder, lentil legume, and turmeric are triturated into a dry powder. All powdered natural components were sieved with #100 mesh, weighed properly, and blended geometrically for a homogeneous composition, and labeled G1 through G4. Powder particles ranged in size from 20-25μm. The product was then examined for organoleptic, physicochemical, physical, phytochemical, and irritancy criteria, as well as stability. The benefits of herbal cosmetics include their nontoxic nature, less allergic responses, and the time-tested effectiveness of numerous substances. Thus, in the current study, an attempt was made to formulate an ideal face pack suited for all skin types. We discovered good qualities for the face packs, and additional optimization studies are needed on this study to determine the relevant advantages of face packs for human usage as cosmetic products.

Physical Evaluation:

Rheological Evaluation:

Natural face pack was assessed for actual boundaries (powder property) displayed in the Table 1. The molecule size was tried by microscopy strategy. The stream property of the dried powder of consolidated structure was assessed by performing Point of Rest by channel technique, mass thickness and tapped thickness by Tapping Strategy. Rheological discoveries legitimized the stream (powder) properties of the natural face pack. Being a free-streaming and non-tacky in nature was found.
