Introduction: Bioactive chemicals in Salvia hispanica (Chia) seeds and Aloe vera hydrate, protect, and restore skin. The goal of this work will formulate and evaluate a multifunctional herbal cream with Salvia hispanica seed mucilage, Aloe vera gel, shea butter, and coconut oil to hydrate and restore skin.
Methods: Salvia hispanica seed extract was obtained through mucilage extraction. Aloe vera gel was prepared and incorporated into the formulation along with shea butter and coconut oil. The final cream formulation was evaluated for physicochemical parameters such as pH (6), spreadability (7.5 g/sec), consistency, washability, and non-irritancy. The hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay for antioxidant activity performed.
Results: The formulated cream demonstrated antioxidant activity revealed a significant hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity of 95.16 %, indicating high radical scavenging potential. The formulation exhibited desirable physicochemical characteristics.
Conclusion: This study found that the cream is antioxidant activity with its natural composition and helpful plant-based components; it could be an effective and sustainable skincare solution.
