Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Face Scrub by using Turmeric

Herbal skincare products are widely preferred due to their safety, efficacy, and minimal side effects. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal face scrub incorporating turmeric (Curcuma longa), renowned for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. The scrub is developed using natural exfoliate like sugar along with moisturizing and soothing agents such as coconut oil, olive oil and glycerine. The formulated scrub undergoes various evaluations, including organoleptic properties, pH determination, spreadability, stability, and skin irritation tests and grittiness. The results indicate that the herbal face scrub effectively removes dead skin cells, improves skin texture, and enhances brightness without causing irritation. The stability studies confirm that the formulation remains effective over time. In conclusion, the turmeric-based herbal face scrub presents a natural and effective skincare solution, providing exfoliation and nourishment while maintaining skin health. Further research can be conducted to optimize the formulation for enhanced stability and prolonged shelf life.
