Formulation Development and Evaluation of Herbal Tooth Paste

Herbal toothpaste with natural ingredients is more acceptable in public opinion than chemical-based synthetic formulations in the current oral dental care scenario due to their safety and efficacy in reducing dental caries and preventing other dental disorders to which this generation is prone. In this composition, we use Clove oil, Tulsi oil, Mango leaf powder, all of which have never been used together before in any research. These extracts have anti-ulcer, anti-caries, anti- bacterial, as well as certain unique properties including anti-oxidant and anti-fungal. The physicochemical evaluations of selected plants were within the pharmacopeial limit and phytochemical screening in ethanol and water extracts showed the intensive presence of constituents such as Alkaloids, Glycosides, Tannins, Volatile oils. The formulated Herbal toothpastes were evaluated to determine important physical characteristics such as pH, extrudability, spreadability, foamability, and Abrasiveness, Shape retention in order to develop a more effective and stable product. All invitro evaluations of prepared herbal toothpaste showed better result. The developed formulation showed anti-bacterial activity against bacterial culture and produced a better zone of inhibition. The purpose of this project is to make and test herbal toothpaste. This research proves that our herbal-based toothpaste formulation with natural ingredients is as excellent as it gets in terms of performance.
