        abstract = {Herbal facepacks have gained significant attention in recent years due to their safety, skin-friendly nature, and effectiveness in enhancing skin health without the adverse effects associated with synthetic cosmetic formulations. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal facepack using natural ingredients selected for their traditional therapeutic value, dermatological benefits, and synergistic activity. Ingredients such as Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth), Turmeric, Neem powder, Sandalwood powder, orange peel powder, Aloe vera gel, and Rose water were chosen for their roles in oil absorption, antimicrobial action, exfoliation, skin brightening, and hydration. The facepack was prepared using the dry mixing and trituration method, ensuring uniform blending and stability. The formulated herbal facepack was evaluated for organoleptic properties (colour, odour, texture), physicochemical parameters (pH, spreadability, washability), particle size, moisture content, and stability studies under accelerated conditions. Microbial load testing was conducted to confirm the safety and shelf stability of the formulation. Results indicated that the formulated facepack exhibited desirable cosmetic characteristics, an acceptable skin-compatible pH, smooth texture, excellent spreadability, and easy washability. No signs of irritation or adverse reactions were observed during patch testing on human volunteers. Stability studies confirmed that the formulation remained physically and chemically stable without any significant changes. Overall, this study demonstrates that the herbal facepack developed from natural ingredients is safe, stable, and effective for routine skincare, offering a promising alternative to commercial synthetic products. The use of natural, locally available ingredients also promotes sustainability and cost-effectiveness, making the herbal facepack suitable for large-scale preparation in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry},
