        abstract = {The present study was aimed at the formulation and evaluation of a herbal mouthwash using Mimosa pudica and egg albumin as a tannin-reducing agent. The formulation was prepared using herbal ingredients such as Neem, Tulsi, Aloe vera, peppermint oil, and clove oil for improved oral hygiene. Egg albumin was incorporated to reduce tannin-associated bitterness and improve the clarity and acceptability of mouthwash. The prepared formulations were evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, stability, viscosity, and antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens. The results indicated that the herbal mouthwash showed satisfactory stability, acceptable physicochemical properties, and good antimicrobial activity. Thus, the formulated herbal mouthwash may serve as a safe, effective, alcohol-free, and natural alternative to conventional mouthwashes.},
