Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Anti-Acne Patches Containing ethanolic extract of Amla and Neem Showing Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action on Acne

Objective: The purpose of this research is to create and assess anti-acne patches that contain ethanolic extracts of neem and amla, which serve as anti-inflammatory and antioxidants. The purpose of herbal anti-acne patches is to reduce breakouts, absorb excess oil, promote healing, prevent infection, and alleviate discomfort in order to treat acne and blemishes. They are also beneficial for hydrating the skin due to their simplicity of use and convenience. Without making irritation or discomfort worse, these patches are designed to efficiently target and treat acne lesions, promote healing, prevent recurrences, and offer all-encompassing care for cleaner, healthier skin. Methodology: The composition includes fresh E. officinalis fruits and A. indica leaves that were weighed, washed, dried, and powdered before being kept in a sealed container. Hydropropyl cellulose (HPC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), glycerine, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and 70% ethanol are excipients that are utilized in addition to extracts. Results: The findings reveal that the anti-acne patches' pH, thickness, absorption, folding resistance, moisture content, and swelling were all taken into consideration while assessing their quality. Several chemical assays were used to confirm the phytocontituents in the ethanolic extract.
