ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal facial scrub using natural ingredients known for their skin-beneficial properties. The scrub is made from a blend of walnut shell powder, rice flour, beetroot extract, aloe vera gel, blue-mink flower, honey, kaolin clay, glycerin, and Vitamin E. These ingredients are selected for their exfoliating, moisturizing, and skin-rejuvenating effects. The formulation process includes carefully measuring and mixing the ingredients to achieve a smooth, consistent, and effective scrub. Various evaluation tests are conducted, including sensory analysis (Appearance, Texture, Odor), pH testing, viscosity measurement, spread ability, washability, and microbial load tests. The scrub's effectiveness in exfoliating dead skin cells and improving skin texture is assessed, along with its safety, ensuring it is non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin types. The results indicate that the formulated herbal facial scrub meets the required standards for a safe, effective, and natural skincare product. The use of natural exfoliants and moisturizing agents ensures that the scrub provides both deep cleansing and hydration, offering a gentle yet effective solution for skin rejuvenation.
