Natural remedies are more acceptable in the belief that they are safer with fewer side effects than the synthetic ones. Herbal formulations have growing demand in the world market. The present work deals with the development & evaluation of the herbal anti-acne face wash containing aqueous extract of Luffa cylindrica seed oil, neem leaves (Azadirachta indica), Pumpkin. Although various topical herbal formulations for acne are available in the market, we propose to make pure herbal formulation without using any synthetic soap . The plants have been reported in literature having good anti-microbial, anti-oxidant & anti-inflammatory activity also and saponins present in the Luffa cylindrica seeds used as a base to form the soap. Prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters like colour, appearance, consistency, washability, pH & spreadability. The formulation was compared with the marketed preparation.
