        abstract = {Moisturizers are essential cosmetic products designed to hydrate, soften, and protect the skin. The incorporation of herbal extracts into cosmetic formulations is becoming more popular due to their natural origin, safety, and therapeutic benefits. The aim of the present study was to formulate and evaluate a herbal moisturizer cream containing Aloe vera gel as the main active ingredient, combined with other natural excipients such as coconut oil, almond oil, glycerin, and water. The cream was prepared using the emulsification technique, in which the oil phase (coconut oil, almond oil) and aqueous phase (Aloe vera gel, glycerin, water) were separately heated and then combined under continuous stirring. After cooling, vitamin E oil and essential oil were added. The formulated cream was then packed in sterile containers. The prepared herbal cream was evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, spreadability, viscosity, stability, washability, skin irritation, and moisturizing efficiency. Results showed that the cream had a smooth texture, pleasant fragrance, stable consistency, and skin-compatible pH (5.8–6.0). The product was easily spreadable, washable, and exhibited no irritation during patch testing. Moisturization studies showed improved skin hydration after use.The study concluded that Aloe vera-based moisturizer cream is a safe, effective, and economical alternative to synthetic moisturizers. The formulation successfully combined herbal ingredients to provide nourishment, hydration, and skin protection, making it suitable for cosmetic and therapeutic applications.},
