This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a herbal face pack using natural ingredients, namely amla seed powder, beetroot peel powder, Multani mitti, sandalwood powder and rice flour, selected for their antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, skin-brightening, cleansing and soothing properties. The herbal powders were blended by the geometric dilution method to obtain a uniform formulation. Four formulations (F1-F4) were prepared by varying ingredient ratios and evaluated for morphological, physicochemical and physical characteristics, including colour, odour, texture, pH, moisture content, particle size, ash value, angle of repose, bulk and tapped density, Hausner ratio, Carr's index, washability, irritancy, spreadability and stability. All formulations showed acceptable appearance, pleasant odour, smooth texture and a skin-friendly pH of 5.5, together with good flow properties, low moisture content, satisfactory stability and no signs of skin irritation. Based on the overall evaluation, formulation F4 exhibited the most favourable combination of properties and was selected as the optimized batch. The developed herbal face pack is safe, stable, economical and represents a promising natural alternative to synthetic face packs for cleansing, brightening and nourishing the skin.
KEYWORDS
A polyherbal face pack combining amla seed powder, beetroot peel powder, Multani mitti, sandalwood powder and rice flour was successfully formulated by the geometric dilution (dry blending) method and evaluated across four batches (F1-F4). All formulations exhibited acceptable morphological, physicochemical and physical properties, a skin-compatible pH of 5.5, good washability and spreadability, freedom from skin irritation, and satisfactory short-term stability. Formulation F4 offered the best overall balance of properties and represents a safe, stable, economical and effective natural alternative to synthetic face packs, combining the cleansing, exfoliating, antioxidant and skin-brightening benefits of its herbal ingredients. Further work on microbiological stability, long-term storage and clinical/consumer evaluation is recommended to support commercial development.A polyherbal face pack combining amla seed powder, beetroot peel powder, Multani mitti, sandalwood powder and rice flour was successfully formulated by the geometric dilution (dry blending) method and evaluated across four batches (F1-F4).
