        abstract = {The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal gel containing liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) extract for topical application. Carbopol 940 was used as the gelling agent along with butylene glycol, sorbitol, sodium phytate, benzyl alcohol, triethanolamine, and purified water as formulation excipients. The UV-visible spectroscopy and FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of active phytoconstituents and compatibility of formulation components. Among the prepared formulations, F2 showed optimum characteristics with better spread ability, stability, viscosity, and enhanced drug release. The results suggest that the developed polyherbal gel is suitable for topical application and possesses promising therapeutic potential.},
