        abstract = {The present study focuses on the development and evaluation of a nutrient-rich dermo cosmetic body mask formulated using marine and animal-derived bioactive components. The formulation incorporates roe extract obtained from the marine catfish Arius subrostrate and blood extract from domestic goat Capra aegagrus hircus as primary active ingredients due to their potential nutritional and skin-beneficial properties. Fish roe is known to contain proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, while goat blood provides proteins, iron, and other bioactive compounds that may support skin nourishment and regeneration. The roe extract was prepared through homogenization followed by solvent extraction using methanol and tert-butyl methyl ether, centrifugation, solvent evaporation, and freeze-drying. Goat blood was collected aseptically and processed using centrifugation and phosphate buffer washing to obtain the cellular fraction for further analysis. Preliminary physicochemical and nutritional evaluation of fish roe included determination of protein content, emulsification capacity, foaming capacity, and water and fat absorption capacity. Goat blood samples were analysed for moisture content, ash value, crude lipid, crude fibre, and crude protein content using standard analytical methods. Six different body mask formulations (BM1–BM6) were prepared using excipients such as sodium alginate, gelatin, citric acid, glycerin, rose water, and distilled water. The prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters including organoleptic properties, pH, moisture content, spread ability, thickness, and skin irritation using the Draize modified scoring method. In addition, antioxidant activity of the formulations was investigated to assess their potential protective effects against oxidative stress. The study aims to develop a stable and effective nutrient-rich body mask with potential dermo cosmetic applications. The results are expected to demonstrate that bioactive compounds derived from marine and animal sources can be successfully incorporated into topical formulations to enhance skin nourishment, hydration, and overall skin health.},
