Abstract:The skin acts as a protective barrier for the body. Significant functional limitations can occur when damaged, such as pain and infections. This study aims to develop hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) films incorporated with Ocimum basilicum L. (OB) extract for wound healing. The plant extract was prepared, followed by production and morphological evaluation of the films determining, for example, water vapor transmission, swelling index, solubility, and antioxidant activity. The films were macroscopically h… Show more
