Formulation and Evaluation of Polyherbal Powder Bodywash

Abstract: This research explores the creation and assessment of a natural polyherbal body wash containing colloidal oatmeal, rose powder, and vetiver powder, each known for beneficial effects on the skin. Colloidal oatmeal offers hydration and reduces inflammation, rose powder contributes antioxidant and astringent actions, while vetiver powder provides antimicrobial, cooling, and detoxifying benefits. The formulation incorporated natural surfactants and underwent evaluation for critical physicochemical traits like pH, viscosity, and foam stability. Sensory testing and consumer feedback revealed good cleansing performance and a pleasant skin feel. Antioxidant assays confirmed the presence of compounds that defend against oxidative stress, and clinical studies showed significant improvements in skin hydration and smoothness, with no negative reactions. The findings emphasize the product's promise as a gentle, effective, and environmentally friendly option for skincare.
