Abstract

The creation of the multipurpose polyherbal crack-healing cream, which shields the skin from cracks and can also serve as a multifunctional cream to shield the skin from other skin issues. The polyherbal cosmetic formulation can be used to give skin a protective barrier and is safe to use. Over the course of the study, this multipurpose polyherbal cream demonstrated good homogeneity, pH, consistency, spreadability, and lack of phase separation. This multipurpose polyherbal cream is used to remove waste from pores and moisturize dry skin. Further skin conservation is offered by the water phase. It is simple to clean, store, and moisten. Herbal extracts would be significantly more widely accepted than synthetic ones if they were used in a polyherbal cream that is safe, non-toxic, and increases patient compliance. According to the present research, it is possible to create a polyherbal cream. Because it was created using a straightforward ingredient and process, the cream also became more affordable. Kokum butter, coconut oil, and olive oil work together to preserve the skin when applied. In addition to coconut oil, which fills the spaces between skin cells and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth, extra virgin olive oil encourages angiogenesis by increasing intravascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels and can permanently reduce inflammation. Kokum butter also absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.

Keywords: Multipurpose Cream, Kokum butter, topical drug delivery system, Garcinia indica, Olea europaea, cocos nucifera.
