        abstract = {The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal anti-tan cream using Artocarpusheterophyllus (jackfruit wood) extract as the principal active ingredient. The plant is rich in flavonoids with strong antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory potential, making it a promising natural agent for skin brightening and tan removal. The cream was formulated as an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion using standard cosmetic excipients. Various physicochemical parameters such as appearance, pH, viscosity, spreadability, stability, and irritancy were evaluated. The developed cream exhibited good homogeneity, optimal viscosity, acceptable pH for topical application, and was found to be non-irritant on human skin. The results indicate that Artocarpusheterophyllus extract can be effectively utilized in herbal cosmetic formulations aimed at tan removal and skin nourishment.},
