  • Abstract:
  • Psoriasis is a persistent autoimmune skin disorder marked by excessive keratinocyte proliferation, chronic inflammation, and noticeable scaling, often resulting in both physical discomfort and emotional distress. Although conventional synthetic therapies exist, their prolonged use is frequently associated with adverse side effects. To offer a safer and more holistic alternative, this project focuses on formulating a 30 g herbal gel using naturally derived, skin-friendly ingredients aimed at alleviating psoriasis symptoms. The formulation includes avocado pulp, known for its rich content of essential fatty acids and vitamins that support skin regeneration; aloe vera gel for its renowned anti-inflammatory and soothing effects; sweet almond oil to deeply moisturize and aid in skin repair; vitamin E as a protective antioxidant; and glycerin to maintain optimal skin hydration. Xanthan gum was employed as the gelling agent due to its biocompatibility and formulation stability. The gel underwent comprehensive evaluation, including assessments of appearance, color, odor, consistency, pH, viscosity, spreadability, washability, and skin irritation to confirm its safety and therapeutic potential. Each ingredient was selected not only for its individual benefits but also for its synergistic action in reducing inflammation, strengthening the skin barrier, and supporting tissue healing. The final product displayed desirable physical attributes and was proven to be non-irritating upon topical application. This herbal gel offers a promising natural treatment strategy for managing psoriasis, enhancing patient adherence through topical use, reducing dependency on conventional drugs, and encouraging the integration of plant-based therapies into long-term dermatological care.
