Abstract

Rajatantrapravina Acharya Brajendra Nath Seal was the greatest savant and polymath of the 20th century. As the whole body of human knowledge was known to him, he could approach a subject matter from the standpoint of totality and examine its relation to other subjects to get a fuller understanding of its place in the world's widest canvas. He was a seeker of truth and believer in universal humanism. This essay embraces a brief account of this forgotten genius - a scholar who elevated and exposed brilliantly the cultural heritage of India, its philosophy, science, history, religion and civilization. His magnum opus 'Positive Sciences of the Ancient Hindus', epic 'The Quest Eternal', and other works remain yet to be critically analysed and studied, and so is the man.

Abstract

Herbal cosmetics are formulated, using different cosmetic ingredients to form the base in which one or more herbal ingredients are used to cure various skin ailments. The name itself suggests that herbal cosmetics are natural and free from all the harmful synthetic chemicals which otherwise may prove to be toxic to the skin. Compared to other beauty products, natural cosmetics are safe to use. Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic-pharmaceutical hybrid products intended to improve the health and beauty of the skin by providing a specific result, ranging from acne-control and anti-wrinkle effects, to sun protection. Calamine lotion is widely used as an antiseptic and protective for its cooling and soothing effect in various skin disorders. Instead of traditional synthetic products different plant parts and plant extracts are used in this study to procure calamine lotion having natural humectants, e.g. aloe-vera gel and honey. Herbal cosmetics are the preparations used to enhance the human appearance. The purpose of this study is to compare the semi synthetic activity of glycerin with other humectants in terms of their emollient properties to ensure whether calamine lotion can be formulated using natural humectants or not.
