ABSTRACT

The primary goal of making herbal face toner is to maintain the tonicity of the skin. There are a variety of herbal face toners available on the market that have some side effects, such as itching and inflammation. An attempt was made to make a herbal face toner using Convolvulus prostrates extract (which has anti-inflammatory properties), aloe vera gel (which has antifungal properties), and glycerine (which has lubricating properties) for your skin. Colour, smell, pH, skin irritation test, and antimicrobial activity are among the factors used to evaluate herbal face toners. Its efficacy was tested and compared to a commercially available face toner. The revealed results were within acceptable bounds, with minimal or no negative effects. As a result, it can be stated that herbal face toner is far superior than currently available synthetic face toners in terms of ingredients and effectiveness on our face skin, as well as suitability for all skin types. The goal of this study was to create a herbal face toner that contained herbal extract that was utilised not only for anti-inflammatory effect but also to prevent bacterial growth. Its formula was created for the skin having mild sensitivity issue so it won't produce any type of reaction as the flower extract shows anti-inflammatory reaction on skin.
