ABSTRACT
In ancient times, cosmetics were derived from natural sources such as plants, minerals, and animals which were used for various purposes including skincare, haircare, and spiritual rituals. Herbal cosmetics are skincare and beauty products that utilize plant-based ingredients such as herbs, roots, flowers, and essential oils to promote health and natural beauty. Herbal cosmetics offer numerous benefits, including improved skin health, reduced inflammation, enhanced natural beauty, and minimal risk of adverse reactions. An herbal face scrub is a gentle exfoliating product that utilizes natural herbs and botanicals to remove dead skin cells, reduce acne, and improve skin tone and texture. The main objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate natural rice flour face scrub. The preparation consists of natural constituents such as unpolished rice flour, shea butter, kokum butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E oil capsules. Different formulations were formulated and evaluated for various parameters such as organoleptic properties, viscosity, spreadability, pH, homogeneity, and washability and were found to be satisfied with all required characterizations. Thus, the prepared formulation of natural rice flour face scrub was effective for healthy, clear, and glowing skin.
