ABSTRACT

Wrinkling, Creasing, lack of suppleness, sagging, and a bumpy look are all evidence of skin maturing. The skin, as the largest organ of the body which is vulnerable to the outside environment and is impacted by both endogenous and exogenous ageing processes. Regular facial expressions, ageing, UV impact, smoking, dehydration, and a variety of other variables all contributes to skin wrinkles. Skin ageing is a natural phenomenon that cannot be halted, although it can be slowed to maintain a youthful appearance. Through combing dill seed oil, which has been demonstrated to improve skin tautness, firmness and elasticity, along with basil oil, which includes phenolics and flavonoids that are natural antioxidants that have anti-ageing benefits. A homogenizer is used to blend the oil and water phases together to make the cream. The objective of this paper is to formulate an anti-wrinkle cream with 100 percent sheer and credible Dill seed oil and Basil oil as the main ingredients, as well as to assess the various physicochemical characteristics of coloring, odour, pH, spreadability, viscosity, after feel, solubility, removal, irritation, and stability studies along with the homogeneity. As a result, the resulting cream can be utilized to combat ageing due to its effective anti-wrinkle qualities.
