odor, alongside physiological measurements including pH, spreadability, ease of removal,
and irritancy.

The primary objective of this study was to formulate an herbal body lotion that provides
essential nutrients for optimal skin health. With a plethora of natural herbs available, each
possessing unique qualities beneficial for skincare, particularly as antioxidants, herbal
formulations hold significant promise. The findings of this study underscore the safety and
