ABSTRACT

Natural remedies are more acceptable with the belief that they are safe and having less side effects. Herbal drugs have been used since many years not only in Asian countries but also worldwide for social well being. The present work deals with the formulation and evaluation of the herbal extract of curry leaf (Murraya koenigii) and Bel patra (Bilva). In literature it is reported that these plants are having antimicrobial, anti-oxidant and anti inflammatory and anti diabetic activity. Various formulation batches i.e. F1 to F6 were prepared using polymers in varied concentrations. Prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters and amongst all the formulations batch F1 and F2 was found optimum for all the parameters.

Keywords: Herbal, Anti-Acne Face Wash, Curry Leaf, Bel Patra.
