Toothpaste is a gel or paste formulation product and is use to clean and maintain oral hygiene with the aid of toothbrush. The majority of the cleaning is performed by the mechanical utilization of the toothbrush with the help of excipients used in toothpaste. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate herbal toothpaste formulations. Several chemicals, preventive agents have beneficial effects in the control of plaque and to reduce or prevent oral disease. But some of these substances show undesirable side effects such as tooth staining and altered taste. The objective of the present research work to formulate herbal toothpaste containing natural ingredients like clove fruit, Neem leaves, Honey and Acacia powder etc. which were traditionally used for tooth cleaning. The formulated toothpaste was evaluated for its organoleptic and physical properties as per standards specified by Bureau of Indian Standards and compare with marketed toothpaste formulations. Lab made herbal toothpaste was formulated by suitable ingredients to get formulation more stable. Evaluation and comparison of results with commercial Herbal toothpaste are demonstrated that Lab made toothpaste is having Equal patronizing and engrossing passion over the marketed formulations (Dantkranti, Himalaya, Babool and Colgate). This preliminary in vitro study demonstrated that Labmade Herbal toothpaste was equally efficacious as three commercially popular toothpastes in terms of all evaluation properties of toothpaste. Hence, by the evidence of in vitro studies, it is concluded that Lab made Herbal toothpaste formulated in a laboratory was found to be of good quality.
