The popularity for herbal creams has grown now a days due to their natural ingredients and can be applied gently on the skin. Aloe vera, papaya, and grape seed oil, recognized for their pharmacological and antioxidant properties in traditional medicine, were selected as active constituents in the formulation of a polyherbal anti-aging cream. The plant extracts were prepared and subsequently evaluated for their phytochemical constituents. Five different herbal cream formulations (F1–F5) were prepared using varying concentrations of polyherbal extracts (2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%). These formulations were evaluated for physicochemical properties such as pH, texture, and spread ability, along with other quality parameters. Additionally, the extracts were assessed for their antioxidant activity. Among all the formulations, polyherbal anti-aging cream F5 has showed the best results in terms of spread ability, appearance, stability, and skin safety offering potential anti-aging benefits.
