Abstract:

Skin is the maximally exposed part of the body, that is susceptible to UV radiation, pollution, etc. A body lotion can aid in protection of skin from these detriments with no side effects. Also, there is a growing arena towards natural and herbal cosmetic products for skincare. Keeping all these in mind, this herbal body lotion was prepared from the extract of Aegle marmelos leaves along with other ingredients to form various formulations.  Various studies demonstrated medicinal and immunomodulator activities of Aegle marmelos leading to treatment and preventive strategies incombating vivid conditions. Several antioxidant components such as β-carotene, glutathione, α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, and total polyphenols and flavonoids are rich in Aegle leaves. The objective of our study was to find out the antioxidant potential of Aegle marmelos and thereby using the extract for formulating body lotion for skincare. These formulations were further evaluated for various parameters such as antioxidant assays (DPPH, FRAP, TPC), pH, lotion type, emulsion type, stability, microbial growth, organoleptic properties, spread ability, etc. Body lotion containing methanolic extract of Aegle marmelos showed 50% radical scavenging activity at 172.51 ± 5.60 mg/mL, TPC value of 28.06 ± 0.40 mg/g and FRAP value of 4.08 mM/g.  According to the feedback obtained from the volunteers, the colour of lotion was found to be very good, odour and homogeneity of the body lotion was found to be excellent. The spreadability and emolliency was also found to be excellent. The lotion was found to be non-greasy and maximum volunteers did not experience any sort of irritancy. Further studies are needed to test the efficacy of this lotion in various forms like nanoparticles, etc.

Keywords: Aegle marmelos, Skin, Antioxidants, Body Lotion, Skincare.
