Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Face Scrub Using Exfoliating Agents

Abstract

Herbal face scrubs have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to improve skin health and are available at a low cost. These scrubs contain natural ingredients such as rice powder and orange peel powder, which work to exfoliate, whiten, and prevent free radical damage. Vitamin C, rose water, and almonds are used to hydrate and exfoliate the skin. Neutralizers and herbal preservatives like neem, and rosemary are used in the formulation. The preparation was evaluated for various parameters, such as colour, odour consistency, pH, spreadability, viscosity, and foamability. The results from the evaluation indicated that the scrub was satisfactory after application and was non-irritating to the skin.
