        abstract = {The purpose of this study was the advancement and assessment of a face cream formulated from the pulp of Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa to evaluate its anti- aging and antioxidant properties. Cream was prepared by the emulsification method using a base of emollients, emulsifiers and stabilizers. The pulp was incorporated at optimized concentrations determined by preliminary screening for antioxidant activity. Screening test was performed to access the bioactive compounds such flavonoids, polyphenols and alkaloids. Four formulations F1, F2, F3 and F4 were developed using different concentrations of Passiflora fruit pulp extracts. Evaluation tests such as stability studies, pH, irritancy, wash ability, viscosity, microbial test and morphological assessment were performed for the four formulations to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and stability of the cream. The cream developed was evaluated for the texture, appearance, fragrance variation and absorption. The four formulations varied in their concentration of the pulp extracts. As the concentration of the pulp was increased the texture, appearance, fragrance and absorption was found to be optimized. The formulation F3 exhibited more stability and was more viscous when compared to other formulations i.e., F1 and F2. The final formulation F4 showed reproducible effects. The developed cream demonstrated good consistency and spread ability, homogeneity, pH, and non- greasiness, and there was no phase separation during the study period of 3 months, according to the aforementioned data. The comparative formulation and development process highlighted the trade-offs between concentration, stability, and acceptability. Future formulations may consider optimizing the balance between natural and synthetic components to enhance overall performance while ensuring product safety and consumer satisfaction. Further studies can focus on long-term efficacy and user trials to validate the findings.},
