Abstract

Natural remedies are more acceptable in the belief that they are safer with fewer side effects than the synthetic ones. Herbal formulations have a growing demand in the global market. The present study deals with the evaluation of efficacy and safety of the Gentle Neem Face Wash extract of Azadirachta indica, Citrus medica, Citrullus lanatus and Vetiveria zizaniodes. The plants have been reported in the literature having good antimicrobial, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. This is an open phase clinical study to evaluate the dermal safety and efficacy of the herbal formulation. Ten healthy volunteers enrolled to use the herbal formulation for 15 days, no skin irritation was observed or reported. There was remarkable reduction in oiliness of the facial skin and associated minimization of acne recurrence. Few subjects noticed improvement in skin complexion also.
