The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal face serum using natural ingredients such as Aloe vera, Green tea extract, and Sodium alginate. Herbal cosmetics are widely preferred due to their safety, effectiveness, and minimal side effects compared to synthetic products. The formulated serum was designed to provide moisturizing, antioxidant, soothing, and skin-protective effects. The herbal extracts were subjected to phytochemical screening to identify the presence of important bioactive constituents. The tests confirmed the presence of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which are known for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The prepared serum was evaluated for various physicochemical parameters including pH, viscosity, consistency, spreadability, homogeneity, odour, washability, stability, and skin irritation test. The evaluation results showed that the serum possessed suitable pH, smooth consistency, good spreadability, uniform appearance, pleasant odour, easy washability, and excellent stability. No signs of redness, itching, or irritation were observed during the skin irritation test, indicating that the formulation is safe for topical application. The study concludes that the prepared herbal face serum is stable, effective, and suitable for cosmetic use, with potential benefits for skin hydration and protection against environmental damage.
