For hundreds of years, it has healed skin burns and injuries. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal body lotion utilizing natural ingredients known for their skin-nourishing properties. The formulation process involved selecting botanical extracts and essential oils renowned for their moisturizing, soothing, and antioxidant benefits. Various concentrations of these ingredients were incorporated to achieve an optimal balance of efficacy and sensory appeal. The evaluation of the herbal body lotion included several parameters such as viscosity, spread ability, skin hydration, and stability. Additionally, sensory attributes like fragrance, color, and overall texture were assessed to ensure consumer acceptance and satisfaction.
