ABSTRACT

The aim of present work is to formulate and evaluate the herbal tooth gel using Achyranthes aspera leaves extract. Fabrication of herbal tooth gel was carried out using herbal crude materials Achyranthes aspera leaves. These crude herbs were extracted using ethanol by cold maceration process. After the extraction process the tooth gel was formulated using carbapol 934 along with the utility of various additives like Sodium CMC, Polyethylene Glycol, Sodium lauryl sulphate, Triethanolamine, Sodium saccharin, Methyl Paraben. The formulation was subjected to certain evaluation tests like spreadability, foaming capacity, viscosity, pH, abrasiveness and cleaning ability. The results obtained after carrying out the evaluation parameters showed that the prepared tooth gel is considerably good in terms of quality
