Abstract
The study aimed to develop and evaluate a poly-herbal facial scrub
incorporating Allium cepa L. (onion juice) as a core ingredient. The
scrub was formulated using natural components, including aloe vera gel, walnut
shell powder, and honey, selected for their skin-benefiting properties.
Physical characterization revealed a pH of 6.2 ± 0.2, optimal spreadability
(5.8 ± 0.3 g.cm/sec), and desirable viscosity (2,450 ± 100 cP). Stability
testing demonstrated the product's robustness under standard conditions, with
only minor changes observed at elevated temperatures. A patch test conducted on
20 volunteers confirmed its safety, showing no adverse reactions. Efficacy
evaluation revealed improvements in skin smoothness (90%), reduction in
blackheads (75%), and enhanced brightness (65%). Clinical observations
corroborated these findings, with 80% of participants exhibiting reduced dead
skin cells. The results highlight the potential of Allium cepa L. in
natural skincare formulations, paving the way for innovative cosmetic products.
