Formulation And Evaluation of Deodorant Gel Using Herbal Extracts

This study explores the formulation of a natural deodorant gel containing green tea extract, aloe vera, and cucumber extract due to their antioxidant, antibacterial, and soothing properties respectively. Three formulations using varying concentrations of Carbopol 940 (0.5%, 1.5%, and 2%) were prepared. The formulations were assessed for physical parameters including pH, viscosity, spread ability, irritation, antimicrobial activity, and compared with a marketed product. Among the formulations, F2 demonstrated the most effective results in terms of antimicrobial activity and physical stability, suggesting its suitability as a natural deodorant alternative.
