        abstract = {Nanotechnology-based formulations such as nanogels have attracted significant attention because of their superior physicochemical properties, including enhanced penetration, controlled release, biocompatibility, and high drug-loading capacity. The present research focuses on formulating an herbal nanogel incorporating plant-based active constituents using Carbopol 940 as the polymeric base. The prepared nanogel was characterized for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, viscosity, drug content, in-vitro drug release, antimicrobial activity, and stability. Results confirmed that the nanogel exhibited favourable dermatological pH (5.5–6.5), smooth texture, uniform drug distribution, good spreadability, sustained drug release, and adequate stability under accelerated conditions. These outcomes indicate that herbal nanogels can serve as promising alternatives to conventional topical formulations for treating skin conditions.},
