The increasing demand for herbal-based cosmetics has led to the development of novel formulations incorporating plant-derived ingredients known for their therapeutic properties. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a herbal face cream using Aloe vera and cucumber extracts, both recognized for their skin-soothing, moisturizing, and antioxidant properties. The formulation was prepared using the oil-in-water emulsion technique and subjected to physicochemical evaluations including pH, viscosity, spreadability, stability, and skin irritation tests. The final cream exhibited desirable cosmetic properties, remained stable over time, and was found to be non-irritating to the skin, thus showing potential as a safe and effective herbal skincare product.
