Description :
Herbal formulations have a growing demand in the world market because natural remedies are safer than synthetic ones. People are becoming aware of the use of plants for the essential need for healthy and beautiful skin. The Rosa gallica plant has been reported in the literature as having good anti-oxidant, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. Also, dead sea salt and mud have been known for their therapeutic and cosmetic properties. The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate the herbal face wash tablet containing Rosa gallica and Dead Sea mud. The formulation was carried out with three different trials and the final formulation (T3) was evaluated for various functional parameters like color, appearance, consistency, cleansing ability, foaming ability, pH, odour and spreadability. The product was subjected to an accelerated stability study to check the stability of the product with respect to color, odour, and pH change. Subjective evaluation of the product was also carried out on a panel of human volunteers. The study showed that the herbal face wash tablet gives satisfactory results to the volunteers with an improved skin condition and a good cleansing effect.
