  • Abstract:
  • Wound management is a crucial component of clinical care, particularly for chronic wounds that greatly affect the quality of life. This study focuses on the formulation and assessment of an herbal wound healing cream that harnesses the synergistic effects of two bioactive compounds—lupeol and Centella asiatica extract. Lupeol, a pentacyclic triterpenoid derived from Crataeva nurvala, possesses strong anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Centella asiatica, a renowned medicinal herb, enhances wound healing by stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration. The cream was formulated using a conventional oil-in-water emulsion method and evaluated based on key physical characteristics, including appearance, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and specific gravity, alongside safety and efficacy parameters. The findings revealed a smooth, uniform, and non-irritating cream with excellent spreadability and a skin-compatible pH. This research underscores the value of integrating traditional herbal medicine with modern formulation techniques to develop effective wound care solutions.
