Abstract | The paper explores the realm of herbal cosmetics, blending conventional cosmetic ingredients with herbal components to deliver specific beauty benefits. It delves into the history of cosmeceuticals, a term coined in the 1990s for skincare products claiming therapeutic advantages from plant-based actives like alpha-hydroxy acid and retinoic acid. These natural ingredients offer diverse benefits such as skin elasticity enhancement, wrinkle reduction, UV radiation protection, and collagen degradation prevention. Skin and hair health are influenced by various factors, including health, habits, climate, and maintenance. Excessive heat exposure in summer can lead to skin dehydration, while extreme winter conditions may cause skin cracks and infections. Skin diseases can result from exposure to microbes, chemicals, and environmental toxins, as well as malnutrition. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian science, has long utilized herbs and botanicals in cosmetics, believed to enrich the body without side effects. The Drugs and Cosmetics Act defines cosmetics as products intended for body application for cleansing, beautifying, or altering appearance, not requiring a drug license. Herbal cosmetics incorporate phytochemicals from various botanical sources, influencing skin functions and providing nutrients for healthy skin or hair. The use of natural herbs and products for aromatic value in cosmetic preparation is also termed as herbal cosmetics. There is a growing consumer preference for herbal and natural products in cosmetics, driven by a belief that chemical-based cosmetics can be harmful. The regulatory framework for herbal cosmetics is similar to that for other chemical ingredients in cosmetic formulations. The two approaches to ensuring pharmaceutical product quality are Quality by Testing (QbT) and Quality by Design (QbD). QbT relies on end-product testing with limited process understanding, while QbD is a systematic approach emphasizing predetermined objectives and process understanding, aiming to enhance formulation design and development. Additionally, the study details the development of a sunscreen gel using herbal components in a nanoemulsion. Various tests and assays were conducted on the nanoemulgel and its raw ingredients, including standardization tests, antioxidant activity tests, and microbial tests. The nanoemulsion preparation and evaluation involved optimization using a central composite design and assessment of particle size, zeta potential, and nanoemulgel properties. The findings showed higher antioxidant activity and peroxide scavenging capacity in thymol compared to cinnamon oil, with the nanoemulsion demonstrating suitable properties for a sunscreen gel, and the gel was prepared with both thymol and cinnamon oil, and stability was initiated |
