Different types of formulations oil in water (O/W) herbal creams namely F1 to F3 were formulated by incorporating in cream base. The evaluations of all formulations (F1 to F3) were done on different parameters like pH, viscosity, spreadibilty and stability were examined. Formulations F1 and F2 showed good spreadibilty, good consistency, homogeneity, appearance, pH, spreadibilty, no evidence of phase separation and ease of removal. The formulation F1 and F2 shows no redness, edema, inflammation and irritation during irritancy studies. These formulations are safe to use for skin. These studies suggest that composition of extracts and base of cream of F1 and F2 are more stable and safe, it may produce synergistic action.
