Preparation and Evaluation of Herbal Scar Powder

Abstract

Herbal formulations have gained significant attention due to their safety, efficacy, and minimal side effects compared to synthetic agents. The present study focuses on the preparation and evaluation of a polyherbal scar powder composed of sandalwood powder, turmeric powder, neem leaf powder, licorice root powder, and multani mitti (Fuller’s earth). These ingredients are traditionally known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-rejuvenating properties. The formulation was prepared using simple blending techniques and evaluated for physicochemical parameters such as organoleptic properties, particle size, pH, moisture content, and stability. The results indicated that the herbal scar powder possesses desirable characteristics and shows potential in reducing scars, pigmentation, and improving skin texture. This study supports the use of herbal remedies as an effective and economical alternative for scar management.
