  • Abstract:
  • Objectives: The EBC promotes the scientific evaluation of herbal medications in the conventional pharmaceutical environment. Methods: In the current study extracts and formulations were prepared and characterized. These include the extraction (seeds, thickeners and preservatives) and preparation of a peel-off mask. Different extracts are obtained using selective solvents and subjected to safety and efficacy studies, reflecting the potential use of ajwain in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Result: Extract yield was dark brown 13% having ajwain smell and Saponins test was performed on it. It continues to be YES for flavonoids, steroids, glycoside and alkaloids. RF Value: 0.54 OF Toluene: ethyl acetate (7:3). The lotion, identified as a brownish-white cream with a slight vanilla smell, was good for 6 weeks. The values ranged at pH, viscosity and spread ability 5.5–6.5, 147.5–190 cps, and 7.05–7.89 g/cm/s, respectively. The black peel-off face mask was odourless. The formulated peel has moisture content of 14.42%. The PH was seen to be 5.15. The spread ability is 1.9±0.5 cm. Conclusion: Ajwain extract, because of its antioxidant activity, which has a rich phytochemical in its composition, may also be utilized as a therapeutic agent. It acts as a scavenger of active species that induce oxidative stress, a factor in many diseases. Both formulations yielded acceptable results for topical applications with a recommendation for finding a safe dose for efficacy.
