This research focuses on developing and evaluating a herbal anti-acne gel containing extracts from Bay leaf, Manilkara zapota leaves, and Vigna mungo. To optimize the gel, three different formulations (F1, F2, F3) were prepared using varying combinations of these plant extracts of Bay leaf, Manilkara zapota leaves, and Vigna mungo. The use of natural treatments to cure illnesses has great potential, and demand for herbal formulations is rising globally.
