FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF POLYHERBAL FACE CREAM

Abstract

Usage of more than one herb in a formulation is known as Polyherbal formulation (PHF). In traditional medicine system,
phytoconstituents from multiple herbs are mixed in a specific ratio so that they could be used in the treatment of
diseases. The concept in selecting polyherbs for formulation development is effective treatment with marginal side
effects. Two herbs were taken for the development of formulation of face cream: Portulaca grandiflora and Solanum
tuberosum. The Polyherbal formulation was standardized by using various parameters such as organoleptic evaluation,
pH determination, Viscosity, Dye Test, Spreadability, Microbial Contamination test and Irritancy test.
