Abstract : Herbal toothpaste formulations have gained significant attention due to their potential therapeutic benefits and natural origins. This study aims to prepare and evaluate a polyherbal toothpaste incorporating extracts of ginger, lemon, liquorice, and amla. Wet gum method is one process used to create a herbal toothpaste. Evaluation parameters included physical characteristics like colour, texture, pH, and functional properties like antimicrobial activity, spreadability, foaming property, homogeneity, abrasiveness, whitening effect. Results demonstrated that the herbal toothpaste exhibited desirable physical properties, with a balanced semisolid texture and appealing colour. Moreover, the toothpaste demonstrated notable antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans. This study provides valuable insights into the development of herbal toothpaste formulations enriched with natural extracts, offering promising alternatives for oral care with potential therapeutic benefits.
