The demand for herbal formulations is very significant worldwide. The human skin is the organ most susceptible to infections and germs that cause disease. It is also the bodily component primarily responsible for sweating. It requires a lot of attention and defense as a result. Hormone imbalances and abnormalities in internal components can cause a variety of skin problems throughout puberty. Acne is the most common type of skin disease. Face and neck are the areas most frequently affected. Eliminating oil from the face serves as a preventive step. This has to be washed and cleaned properly. Currently on the market are antibiotic gels, anti-acne washes, and masks that contain synthetic medications. The current study focuses on the creation and assessment of a herbal face wash that combats acne. The product includes an aqueous extract of neem leaves (Azadirachta indica), rice extract, turmeric (Curcuma longa), orange peel, and a hydro-alcoholic extract of nutmeg fruit (myristica fragrance ). While there are several topical herbal formulations for acne on the market, our suggestion is to create a pure herbal formulation devoid of any synthetic ingredients. The plants' strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties have been documented in the literature. Different quantities of tragacanth gum were used to make the formulation batches, or F1 through F3. A number of characteristics, including colour, appearance, consistency, washability, pH, and spreadability, were assessed for the prepared formulations (F1 to F3). A batch of optimized formulation was compared with the commercially available version. Batch F2 was determined to be the best for every parameter across all formulation trials. Making an attempt to create a natural face wash with neem leaf, turmeric root, and nutmeg fruit extract in water was excellent.
