ABSTRACT

As the global cosmetic industry is moving towards sustainable and bioactive alternatives, the need for goods providing therapeutic advantages without the side effects of synthetic chemicals is increasing. Environmental pollution is a primary factor for skin damage, leading to premature aging, pigmentation and inflammation due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The present work focuses on the preparation and assessment of anti-pollution herbal cream using extracts of Green tea (Camellia sinensis) and Moringa (Moringa oleifera) which are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. The cream was formulated as an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion with suitable excipients to give stability, smoothness and ease of application. The prepared formulation was assessed for morphological and physiological characteristics, pH, stability, spreadability and skin irritation. The formulation showed good physical appearance, homogeneity and stability. Bioactive compounds help to counteract free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and protect the skin barrier. Overall, the developed cream is a safe and effective herbal formulation for protecting skin against pollution-induced damage.
