Formulation and evaluation of polyherbal antibacterial cream by using Tulsi, betel leaf and liquorice extract

Mudassar Mulla, Seema Shinde and Nilesh Chougule

The skin, the body's largest organ, serves as a protective barrier against environmental stressors. Its condition reflects overall health and aging. Herbal medicine, involving plant parts such as seeds, leaves, stems, bark, and roots, is gaining popularity for its cost-effectiveness and safety. Many pharmaceuticals are derived from traditional herbs known for their bioactive compounds like carbohydrates, alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, which offer therapeutic effects including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aims to develop an antifungal polyherbal cream using Neem, Guduchi, Mint, Tulsi, Piper betel, and Glycyrrhiza glabra. Tulsi and Piper betel exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer activities, while Glycyrrhiza glabra is known for its anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective effects. The formulation involves extracting plant compounds using ethanol and assessing their phytochemical properties, aiming to create an effective, standardized, and internationally accepted herbal product for skin health, highlighting traditional medicine's role in modern healthcare.
