Abstract

Herbal cosmetics have a long history of usage aimed at improving beauty and reducing skin issues such as acne, pigmentation, dryness, and wrinkles. These products provide various health benefits, including anti-acne, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, antioxidant, and anti-aging effects, while also minimizing the risk of negative reactions.Herbal formulations have gained global popularity and acceptance. Traditional Indian herbs like Custard Apple Peel, Liquorice Root, and neem have been essential components of skincare routines for many centuries. In this study, various herbs were utilized in creating a peel-off mask. Extracts from Custard Apple Peel, Neem, and Liquorice Root were incorporated, and evaluation criteria were conducted to ensure the formulation aligns with the ideal characteristics of a peel-off mask. The resulting herbal peel-off mask exhibits a neutral pH and is gentle on the skin. A stability assessment was also carried out. The custard apple peel-off mask effectively cleanses deeply, reduces pore size, and revitalizes the skin, resulting in a residue-free, flexible membrane.

Keywords: custard apple peel , neem, liquorice root , traditional indian herbs
