The natural Ingredient has developed into multiple industrial Applications because it now serves many functions Throughout haircare, skincare, pharmaceuticals, Health items and cosmetics. Flaxseed demonstrates Extensive commercial value through its bioactive Compounds and nutritional aspects which Establishes it as an essential all-purpose agricultural Product. The cream was prepared using suitable excipients to obtain good consistency, spreadability, and stability. It was evaluated for appearance, pH, viscosity, spreadability, homogeneity, washability, and stability under different temperature conditions. Microbial studies showed no contamination, and in-vitro testing indicated good activity against acne-causing bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The results suggest that the flaxseed extract-based cream is safe, effective, and stable, providing a natural and skin-friendly alternative to chemical anti-acne products.},
