Formulation and Development of Face Wash Using Carrot

The growing demand for natural skincare products has prompted the exploration of plant￾based ingredients for their therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. This study aimed to formulate and develop a natural face wash using carrot (Daucus carota), potato (Solanum tuberosum), and rose (Rosa damascena) extracts, which are known for their antioxidant, anti￾inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. The extracts were obtained through hydro￾distillation and aqueous extraction methods, and the face wash was formulated using natural surfactants, preservatives, and thickening agents. The final product was evaluated for physicochemical properties, including pH, viscosity, spreadability, and foaming ability, as well as antimicrobial activity. Results indicated that the face wash exhibited a skin-friendly pH of 5.5, optimal viscosity, and excellent spreadability. The study concludes that carrot, potato, and rose extracts are effective natural ingredients for skincare formulations, offering a safe and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic products. This research highlights the potential of plant￾based extracts in the development of innovative and sustainable cosmetic products, aligning with the global shift toward natural and organic skincare solutions.
