The cream was formulated using Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Neem (Azadirachta indica), which are well-documented for their antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating effects on the skin. while Vitamin E oil and were used as emollients and antioxidants. Beeswax and borax served as the cream base and emulsifier, respectively, with methyl paraben used as a preservative. Rose water and distilled water acted as the aqueous medium. The cream was prepared using the fusion method and subjected to a series of evaluation parameters including pH, spreadability, washability, stability, and skin irritation potential. The formulation exhibited good spreadability with a pH compatible with human skin (5.5–6.5). It was stable under different storage conditions and showed no signs of phase separation or microbial contamination over the observation period.
