Formulation, Optimization and Evaluation of Polyherbal foot care roll on.
Abstract
The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of herbal foot-care roll-on designed to address common foot ailments such as cracked heels, dryness, odor, and fungal infections using natural plant-based ingredients. Increasing awareness about the drawbacks of synthetic cosmetic products and growing consumer preference for eco-friendly, non-toxic alternatives have driven the exploration of herbal-based solutions. This project integrates therapeutic botanicals such as peppermint, aloe vera, neem, tea tree oil, lavender, and eucalyptus known for their antimicrobial, soothing, and moisturizing properties, into a convenient, hygienic roll-on applicator. The formulation was developed, optimized, and evaluated across multiple parameters including pH, viscosity, spreadability, skin compatibility, and user acceptance. Ten batch variations were tested, with several showing excellent performance in terms of texture, stability, and acceptance. The results validate the roll-on as a multifunctional herbal product that supports both personal hygiene and dermatological wellness, promoting healing while enhancing user convenience and safety.
