The global market for herbal formulations is expanding. Herbal-based face washes are preferred over synthetic alternatives due to their ability to mitigate side effects. Polyherbal facewash formulations, which combine natural ingredients, offer a holistic approach to skincare. These formulations have garnered attention for their synergistic effects, particularly those combining betel leaf, liquorice, and peppermint oil. Betel leaf provides antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, while liquorice offers antioxidants and skin-lightening capabilities. Peppermint oil contributes a cooling sensation and helps control oil secretion. Together, these ingredients in a facewash formulation potentially deliver comprehensive skincare benefits such as cleansing, toning, and refreshing. Research underscores the multifaceted medicinal and cosmetic properties of these herbal components, emphasizing their individual efficacy and potential synergies when combined.
