        abstract = {Acne is a common inflammatory skin disorder caused by excess sebum production, bacterial infection, and blockage of skin pores. Herbal medicines are widely used in cosmetic preparations due to fewer side effects and better skin compatibility. The present study was aimed to formulate and evaluate a poly herbal anti-acne cream using natural herbal ingredients such as Neem, Tulasi, Turmeric, Aloe vera, orange peel, Rosemary oil, Tea tree oil, Honey, Vitamin E. The cream was prepared by simple trituration and mixing method to obtain a smooth and homogeneous formulation suitable for topical application. The prepared cream was evaluated for organoleptic and physicochemical parameters including pH, homogeneity, spread ability, washability, irritancy, phase separation, and stability. The formulation showed good spread ability, smooth consistency, pleasant herbal odor, non-greasy nature, easy washability, and satisfactory stability during storage. The results confirmed that the formulated poly herbal anti-acne cream is safe, stable, and effective for topical application.},
