Natural skin care methods are always a top priority among people. Dryness, wound and infections greatly affect the
skin health. The different bioactive compounds in plant make them one of the best choices for healthcare, especially skin care.
The evaluation of the plant phytochemicals makes us understand the properties of the plant extract in health care. Ethanol
extracts of four plant species namely, Aloe Vera, Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), Azadirachta indica (Neem) and Curcuma longa
(Turmeric) were obtained and subject to phytochemical and antioxidant analysis. The test for the presence of various
phytochemicals like tannins, saponins, carbohydrates, steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids and flavonoids has been done using distinct
test methods for each bio active compound. Oxidation reaction is responsible for many skin consequences and ageing. Hence,
the study of antioxidant properties of plants is of great importance for their use in skin care. The antioxidant properties of the
ethanol extract of the 4 samples chosen
