Abstract : The study presents the formulation and evaluation of an antioxidant-rich peel-off face mask designed to enhance skin health through natural bioactive ingredients. The mask combines gelatin as a film-forming base with coffee extract for exfoliation and antioxidant activity, turmeric for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, aloe vera gel for hydration and soothing, honey for humectant and emollient properties, and rose water as a fragrant solvent. The compounding process ensures stability, preservation of thermolabile actives, and a smooth hydrogel texture that dries into a cohesive peelable film. Evaluation tests confirmed effective drying within 27 minutes and satisfactory peelability, highlighting its practical usability. By integrating traditional botanicals with modern cosmetic science, the formulation demonstrates multifunctional benefits including hydration, exfoliation, brightening, and protection, positioning it as a promising natural alternative in dermato-cosmetic applications.
