Since the beginning of time, creams have been
valued as essential topical preparations in cosmetic
products because of how simple it is to apply and remove
them from the skin. Pharmaceutical creams are used for
a number of aesthetic purposes, including cleansing,
beautifying, modifying look, moisturising, etc. They also
protect the skin from bacterial and fungal infections and
can be used to treat skin injuries including burns, cuts,
and wounds. The general population and society can
safely employ these semi-solid preparations. The
products used to enhance and beautify human
appearances are known as herbal cosmetics. The current
study's objective was to design and assess herbal cold
creams that contained plant extracts made utilising the
water in oil method for the goal of moisturising and
nourishing the skin.Neem oil and turmeric extract are
used to make the cold cream. Utilising several evaluation
techniques, the created product’s quality was evaluated.
The physical characteristics of the cream formulation
did not alter. During the research study period, the
cream formulation demonstrated good consistency and
spreadability, homogeneity, pH, non-greasy properties,
and no signs of phase separation. There was no
discernible change in the created cream’s viscosity,
aroma, or visual appearance during the research period,
according to stability measures. As the water in the
emulsion slowly evaporates, the cooling and calming
effects of the herbal extract with cold cream are
produced. Cold creams are more moisturising because
they create an oily barrier to stop the loss of water from
the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin.
They are water-in-oil emulsion and intended for
application on skin or accessible mucous membrane to
provide localized and sometimes systemic effect at the
site of application.
