Abstract

This research focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal face sheet mask developed using natural herbal ingredients to address common skin concerns such as acne, dullness, pigmentation, sun damage, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. With the increasing demand for safe, eco-friendly, and chemical-free skincare products, herbal-based cosmetic formulations have gained significant attention due to their therapeutic properties, minimal side effects, and enhanced consumer acceptance. Face sheet masks are widely recognized as an effective topical delivery system because they provide prolonged skin contact, improve hydration, and facilitate better penetration of bioactive compounds into the skin. The present formulation incorporates a combination of medicinal plant extracts selected for their complementary dermatological benefits. Dragon fruit extract serves as a rich source of antioxidants and vitamins that protect the skin against oxidative stress and premature aging. Kiwi extract enhances skin brightness and supports collagen synthesis owing to its high vitamin C content. Papaya extract contains natural enzymes that gently exfoliate dead skin cells, promoting smoother and more radiant skin. Lemongrass extract exhibits potent antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, making it beneficial in preventing acne-causing microorganisms. Green tea extract contributes strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities that help reduce redness, irritation, and environmental damage. Vitamin E oil protects the skin from free radical-induced damage while improving skin elasticity and reducing signs of aging. Glycerin functions as an effective humectant by attracting and retaining moisture, thereby maintaining skin hydration, softness, and suppleness. Rose oil provides soothing, moisturizing, and calming effects that improve the overall sensory appeal of the formulation. The prepared polyherbal face sheet mask aims to provide hydration, nourishment, skin rejuvenation, and protection through the synergistic action of these natural ingredients. To ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of the formulation, comprehensive evaluation studies were conducted, including assessment of organoleptic characteristics, pH, spreadability, sheet absorption capacity, serum retention, skin irritancy, and stability under suitable storage conditions. The findings suggest that the formulated polyherbal face sheet mask possesses desirable physicochemical properties, good stability, and excellent skin compatibility, making it a promising natural skincare product with potential applications in cosmetic and dermatological care.
