ABSTRACT
The cream was prepared using a cream base consisting of beeswax, liquid paraffin, borax, methylparaben, distilled water, rose oil, Aloe Vera gel, dimethylsulfoxide extracts of Cactus and Mint. The cream was prepared using the plate technique/extemporaneous method for geometric and homogeneous mixing of all excipients and herbal extracts. Using the plate technique, we developed three batches of our herbal cream, namely F1, F2 and F3. All three batches were evaluated for various parameters such as appearance, PH, viscosity, phase separation. All three formulations Fl, F2, F3 showed good appearance, pH, adequate viscosity and no phase separation was observed. Also, formulations F1, F2, F3 did not show any redness, erythema and irritation during the irritation study and were easily washable. All three formulations Fl, F2, F3 were stable at room temperature. All three herbal ingredients showed significant different activities. Based on the results, we can suggest that all the three formulations F1, F2, F3 were stable and can be safely used on the skin.
