Abstract
Objective:- To formulate and evaluate herbal cream using Aloe vera gel, Dimethyl sulfoxide, Neem extract
(Azadirachta indica) and Turmeric (Curcuma longa) to give multipurpose effect.
Methods:- The cream was prepared by using cream base which is liquid paraffin, beeswax, methyl paraben, borax,distilled water, Aloe vera gel, dimethyl sulfoxide, extracts of Turmeric and Neem. The cream was prepared by slabtechnique or extemporaneous method for mixing the cream in geometric manner to providea smooth texture and formixing of all ingredients properly. From using slab technique, we have formulatethree different batches of our herbalcream, named as F1H, F2H and F3H. All three batches were evaluated
/ test for different parameters like physical evaluation, pH, irritancy, viscosity, phase separation and spreadbility.
Results:- All three formulations, that is F1H, F2H and F3H showed good appearance, almost neutral pH, no
erythema, edema and redness on skin during irritancy study, easily washable, good spreadability and no phase
separation. All three formulations F1H, F2H and F3H were found stable at room temperature.
Conclusion:- By using Aloe vera gel, Neem and Turmeric the cream showed multipurpose effect and all herbal
ingredients were used showed different significant activities. Based on the results we can say that all three
formulations F1H, F2H and F3H were stable at room temperature and can be safely used on the skin.
