FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF HERBAL POWDER FACE WASH FOR ACNE TREATMENT

Herbal powder face wash is a natural and chemical-free skincare formulation designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin. This formulation combines herbal ingredients such as neem powder, turmeric powder, tulsi powder, rose petals, rice powder and aloe vera powder to provide deep cleansing, antibacterial protection, and skin rejuvenation. Unlike conventional liquid face washes, this powder-based product is free from synthetic preservatives. The powder, when mixed with water, milk, or rose water, forms a gentle paste that effectively removes impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance. The herbal components possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, which help in reducing acne, blemishes, and dullness. This study focuses on the formulation, benefits, and effectiveness of herbal powder face wash compared to commercial alternatives. The research also evaluates consumer acceptance and the potential of herbal skincare products in the growing natural cosmetics market
