ABSTRACT:
There has been a surge in demand for scrub formulations due to growing consumer interest in natural exfoliating alternatives. Nowadays, natural cosmeceuticals are more in demand since they are biodegradable and have no adverse side effects. Given how commonplace acne, dermatitis, and comedones are, cleaning is crucial for skin health. The main objective of the current study was to create a jelly-like scrub with poppy seeds as gritty exfoliating particles. Glycerine, distilled water, and Liquid Germall plus were used as active ingredients in this preparation and mixed to form a jelly like scrub with the help of Xanthan gum. Citric acid was added to maintain the pH relative to the skin. After being tested for appearance, pH, thermal stability, oxidative degradation, optical rotation, ultraviolet and phytochemicals testing, the manufactured scrub proved to be an effective exfoliant to achieve skin free of dermatosis.
