Abstract:
Herbal cosmetics are beauty products containing herbal ingredients for physiological activities like healing, smoothing, and conditioning. The use of herbs in cosmetic production has grown, leading to a strong market for herbal cosmetics. Creams are semi-solid emulsions used for external use, providing a calming effect and shielding the skin from various conditions. Our research aims to develop a herbal moisturizer to reduce acne, treat skin conditions, and enhance facial brightness. Cosmetics are substances used to clean, beautify, or alter the appearance of the human body.
Herbal formulations have gained popularity as a result of the search for safe and effective skincare products because of their possible therapeutic advantages and low risk of side effects. The thinnest and most visible part of the body is the skin on the face. There are four types of skin: normal, dry, oily, and mixed. The skin of the face acts as an essential barrier against the external environment, just like other types of skin. Compared to other parts of the body, the skin on the face is far more delicate. It's critical to adhere to all recommended procedures and treatments in order to preserve beautiful, healthy skin. Skincare, usually referred to as skin integrity support, is a group of treatments intended to enhance skin health and attractiveness. These could include eating a healthy diet, limiting time spent in the sun, and using emollients as necessary.
Exfoliation, a process that removes dead skin cells, originated in Egypt, China, and Asia. Today, cosmetic products use scrubs and chemical peels, with some synthetic and botanical ingredients used as exfoliants.
