Overview

This project covers the formulation and evaluation of a topical herbal gel. It was completed as part of my final-year B.Pharm work.

Objective

To prepare a stable, easy-to-apply herbal gel and check it against the basic quality parameters used for topical products.

My contribution

I selected the excipients, prepared the trial batches in the lab, recorded observations at each step and wrote up the results.

Materials and equipment

List the gelling agent, preservative, humectant and herbal extract you used, along with the equipment such as the pH meter, balance and stirrer.

Method

The gel base was made with a gelling agent, a preservative and a humectant. The herbal extract was added once the base had set. Several trial batches were compared before a final formula was chosen.

Evaluation

Each batch was checked for appearance, colour, odour, pH, spreadability and viscosity. A short stability check was done at room temperature.

Results

Add the observations and values you recorded for each batch, for example pH and spreadability. Report only what you measured.

What I learned

This project taught me how to plan lab work, keep clear records and compare batches fairly. Add one or two lines about what you would do differently next time.
