I. INTRODUCTION
Now a days Herbs are widely used as remedial agents because herbs are easily available at less
expensive and non toxic so the people have good faith in such remedies. From the ancient time people are using
herbs for cleaning, beautifying and to manage them. cosmetics are defined as the beauty products which posses

The Natural face masks contain some vital vitamins that are required for the health and glow of our
skin. These substances also prove to be beneficial for our skin in many ways. Natural Facial masks are less
complicated and pretty simple to use. They help us in looking after skin and also prove its worthiness by
increasing the circulation of the blood within the veins of the face. Effects of the face masks are generally
temporary and for the regular glow it should be used 2-3 times a week. [4]
Herbal formulations have growing demand in the world market. To overcome this entire problem was
the main intension of our work as prepared polyhedral face mask, which is a multipurpose powder for skin care.
3.1 Weighing
All the required herbal powders for fruit mask preparation were accurately weighed individually by using digital
balance. The quantity and compositions are listed in Table 1.
3.2 Mixing
All these fine ingredients were mixed thoroughly by mixer to form a homogenous fine powder.
3.3 Sieving
Then this fine powder was passed through sieve no.40, to get the sufficient quantity of fine powder.
Formulations was applied on the skin and then ease and extent of washing with water were checked manually.
[27-33]
The presence of ash in the dried powder of combined form was evaluated for total ash and acid
insoluble ash values. The yielded was found to be 4.3g total ash and 2.9g acid insoluble ash. And moisture
content value was found to be 5%. The moisture content values observation clearly indicated that the powder of
combined form was hygroscopic in nature. The acidic or alkaline nature of the dried powder of combined form
was determined by preparing 1% dispersion of powder form in distilled water and measuring the pH with pH
meter. The pH of 1% dispersion of powder was obtained as 7.21 which indicated that the powder of combined
form were slightly alkaline in nature.
Dried powder of combined form was evaluated for particle size, angle of repose, bulk density and
tapped density before being formulated.Values of particle size, angle of repose, bulk density and tapped density
obtained for powder of combined form were found to25-30μm, 15°±1°05”, 0.486g/cc and 0.408g/cc
respectively, have good flow properties. The powder had passable flow property which is suitable for a face
pack.And its easily washable with water.
Antimicrobial evaluation was performed with three organisms Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus
epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes Zone of inhibition was found for clindamycin and formulaton was
displayed in table 3.
VI. CONCLUSION
Herbal formulations are more acceptable in the belief that they are safer with fewer side effects than the
synthetic ones. Herbs have growing demand in the world market. It is a very good attempt to establish the poly
herbal fruit face mask containing different powders of fruits. Thus in the present work found good properties for
