Phytochemical Screening of alcoholic extract of Thuja Occidentalis Leaves for Formulation and Evaluation of Wound Healing Ointment

Abstract

Herbal cosmetics are concoctions that are used to beautify and improve the look of humans. The goal of this study was to create and assess a herbal ointment including leaves extract made with alcohol for wound healing. Recent studies in several regions of the world have revealed that t. occidentalis and its active component thujone have a high potential for treating a variety of health problems. T. occidentalis preparations can effectively combat microbial/worm infection. It has antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to these effects, it has insecticidal, molluscicidal, and nematocidal efficacy against certain pests.During the research period, the formulated ointment demonstrated good consistency and spreadability, homogeneity, pH, non-greasy, and no signs of phase separation. Stability characteristics such as visual appearance, nature, viscosity, and aroma of the prepared ointment revealed no significant modification over the research period.

Herbal Sunscreen Development: Spf, Antioxidants, Comparative Analysis

“…The study aimed to develop and assess sunscreen cream formulations from Lemon, Tomato, and Aloe vera extracts. Extraction yielded 0.98g, 1.85g, and 1.57g per 100g of raw material, respectively (Table 5.1) [5]. These variations suggest differences in photoprotective compound concentrations.…”

“…Aloe vera gel was obtained through cold maceration to maintain the integrity of sensitive components like polysaccharides and enzymes. Additionally, phytochemical tests were conducted to identify alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, glycosides, phenols, and terpenoids in the extracts, providing insights into their chemical composition and potential pharmacological properties [5].…”
