Formulate And Evaluate Moringa Oliefera Flower Extract For Its Therapeutic Use As A Face Toner.

In recent years, there has been a significant rise in the demand for herbal-based cosmetics due to increasing awareness of the harmful effects associated with synthetic skincare products. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a natural face toner using the extract of Moringa oleifera flowers, renowned for their rich content of antioxidants, flavonoids, and anti-inflammatory compounds. The flowers were subjected to ethanol-based Soxhlet extraction to obtain bioactive constituents. The toner was prepared by blending Moringa oleifera extract with complementary natural ingredients including aloe vera, rose water, glycerin, and ethanol. Five formulations (F1–F5) were developed and evaluated based on various physicochemical and biological parameters such as pH, surface tension, phytochemical composition, stability, and skin compatibility.
