ABSTRACT

Herbal cosmetics are a formulation primarily used to protect and nurture a person's look. A semi-solid product for enhancing skin tone is a moisturizing cream. Moisturizers are often used in the prevention and treatment of irritant contact dermatitis. Moisturizers are one of the most widely used cosmetic preparations and have been extensively used by consumers to soften the skin. Moisturizers effectively combat dry skin which may cause pain, tightness, itch, stinging, or tingling. The present study focussed on the long-term daily use of a moisturizer on normal skin would affect skin barrier function or hydration state. The current work's objective was to create and assess a moisturizing cream that contains Musa paradisiaca extract, Paraffin wax, Bees wax, petroleum jelly and coconut oil. The aforementioned cream was assessed based on factors including pH, viscosity, greasiness, washability, appearance (colour), homogeneity by visual and tactile means, saponification value and antibacterial activities.
