-------------------------------------------------------------------------***-----------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: Human skin is becoming increasingly susceptible to aging and conditions such as atopic dermatitis, leading to various skin issues such as dermatitis and acne. These problems are often triggered by environmental pollution, allergies, and an upsurge in microorganisms. Consequently, there is a growing trend towards the use of herbal preparations to address these concerns. According to Ayurveda, skin problems are often attributed to blood impurities. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a cosmetic herbal face mask formulated with naturally derived ingredients to promote radiant skin. This face mask incorporates ingredients such as Neem powder, Multani mitti, agarwood, green tea, milk powder, and almond powder. The formulations were assessed for factors including sensory irritation, physicochemical properties, stability, and resistance to microbial contamination and mild irritation. Through this research, efforts were made to create an ideal face mask suitable for all skin types.

Introduction The rising popularity of herbal cosmetics for skin treatment is driven by their well-established advantages in achieving radiant skin. These cosmetics play a role in cleansing, enhancing, and beautifying the skin. Among adolescents, common skin concerns include acne, blackheads, pimples, and dark circles, which can arise from various factors such as toxin accumulation in the bloodstream, dietary imbalances, hormonal changes, unhealthy habits, stress, and exposure to environmental pollutants.[1] Maintaining healthy and clear facial skin is essential for overall well-being. Herbal face packs have emerged as effective solutions for addressing various skin concerns. These packs, known as Mukha Lepa in Ayurveda, are typically applied as a paste or liquid, requiring a gentle application and a waiting period of 10 to 20 minutes before removal through evaporation. They are beneficial for treating pigmentation, scars, blemishes, and acne, while also promoting facial blood circulation. Herbal face packs, containing natural herbs, are simpler to use, more convenient, and less likely to cause adverse effects.[2][3][4][5] Herbal face packs are available in three primary forms: plastic masks with wax or latex bases, gel masks (hydrocolloid masks), and dry clay masks. Desirable characteristics of herbal face packs comprise a smooth paste texture, non-toxic nature, stability in both physical and chemical aspects, pleasant fragrance, absence of gritty particles, and effectiveness in addressing concerns such as acne, blackheads, dark circles, and other skin imperfections. [6][7] The benefits of herbal face packs include their lack of adverse effects, widespread use of herbal ingredients, soothing properties on the skin, prevention of premature aging, skin nourishment, removal of dead skin cells, and relief from problems such as pimples, dark circles, and blackheads. However, occasional redness, irritation, and inflammation are potential drawbacks associated with herbal face packs.[8][9][10]
