Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present disclosure in general pertains to the field of herbal anti-oxidant
moisturizing formulations. In pa 5 rticular, the present disclosure relates to the herbal
anti-oxidant moisturizing formulation comprising of non-comedogenic cold
compressed oils like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, rosehip oil, argan oil in the presence
of pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. More particularly, the present disclosure
relates to the vegan herbal anti-oxidant moisturizing formulation comprising of
10 non-comedogenic cold pressed oils in the form of cream for addressing various skin
concerns, including hydration, anti-aging, and protection against environmental
damage, without clogging pores or using animal-derived ingredients.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
15 [002] The skin, being the largest organ of the human body, serves as the first line
of defence against environmental stressors, including UV radiation, pollution, and
various toxins. These external factors can lead to the generation of free radicals,
which are highly reactive molecules capable of damaging cellular components such
as lipids, proteins, and DNA. This oxidative stress accelerates skin aging,
20 characterized by the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.
[003] Antioxidants, which neutralize free radicals, have emerged as essential
ingredients in skincare formulations aimed at preventing or reducing the damage
caused by oxidative stress. When incorporated into moisturizers, antioxidants not
only provide hydration but also offer a protective barrier against environmental
25 aggressors. A well-formulated antioxidant moisturizer can therefore play a crucial
role in maintaining skin health, improving its texture, and delaying the visible signs
of aging.
[004] The formulation of an antioxidant moisturizer requires a careful selection of
ingredients that are stable, effective, and compatible with the skin. Common
30 antioxidants used in skincare include vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, and
3
plant-derived polyphenols, each offering unique benefits. There are several skin
types, including normal skin which is balanced in terms of moisture, oil, and
sensitivity, normal skin tends to be smooth with few imperfections; Oily Skin
characterized by excess sebum production, oily skin often has enlarged pores and
is prone to acne and blackheads; Dry Skin lacking 5 in natural oils, dry skin can feel
tight, rough, and may be prone to flaking and irritation and sensitive skin that is
easily irritated, sensitive skin may react to certain products or environmental
factors, leading to redness, itching, or burning.
[005] Currently there are many herbal anti-oxidant moisturizing formulations
10 available in the market. One such product available is sold under the brand "Cuccio
GRAPESEED Anti-Oxidant Oil with Jojoba, Sunflower Seed Oil" used for
Smoothing Moisture & Repair Dry Cracked Skin, Firming Oil, and Reduce Fine
Lines & Signs of Aging. But the said product being the facial oil, typically lacks
the variety of ingredients found in cream formulations, such as humectants and
15 emollients that provide comprehensive skincare benefits. Further the facial oils can
leave a greasy residue on the skin, which may be uncomfortable for people with
oily or acne-prone skin.
[006] Other herbal anti-oxidant moisturizing products available in the market
include "Ayuveer Gold Facial Cream with Saffron, Jojoba & Argan Oil" and
20 "Zobha Facelift Moisturizer Lotion with Grape Seed Oil & Safflower". However,
these products contain synthetic and comedogenic ingredients that can cause
irritation and clog pores. Further Ingredients like Cyclopentasiloxane can
accumulate on the skin or hair, leading to clogged pores and environmental
concerns.
25 [007] Hence, there is need for natural and non-comedogenic products that
effectively hydrate, protect, and rejuvenate the skin without causing pore blockage
or irritation.
4
[008] Accordingly, the present invention by addressing the drawbacks in the prior
art, has developed Vegan herbal anti-oxidant moisturizing formulation comprising
of non-comedogenic oils, butters and natural extracts along with pharmaceutically
acceptable excipients that provides a wider range of skincare benefits without
causing pore blockage or irritation. The said 5 formulation has a lighter, non-greasy
texture, making it more suitable for daily use and less likely to leave a greasy
residue.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
10 [009] The present invention is related to the herbal anti-oxidant moisturizing
formulation comprising of non-comedogenic oils and pharmaceutically acceptable
excipients along with the preparation method thereof.

oxidant moisturizing formulation comprising of non-comedogenic oils like jojoba
oil, grapeseed oil, rosehip oil, argan oil, shea butter, carrot seed extract, papaya
liquid extract and licorice liquid extract in the presence of pharmaceutically
acceptable excipients selected from emollients, humectants etc.
20 [0011] In another aspect of the present invention, the said herbal anti-oxidant
moisturizing formulation is a cream-based vegan formulation.
[0012] In yet another aspect of the present invention, during physiochemical
evaluation, the pH of the said formulation ranges between 5.5 to7 and the viscosity
25 ranges between 20000 - 100000 cps. The dermatology report during laboratory
testing of the said herbal anti-oxidant moisturizing cream indicates 0 score for
comedogenic rating with no irritation thereby confirming that the said cream depicts
no comedones or skin irritation. Further, microbial analysis during laboratory
testing confirms the anti-microbial activity and thermal stability.
5
[0013] In yet another aspect of the present invention, the said herbal anti-oxidant
moisturizing formulation hydrates, protects, and rejuvenates the skin with no
clogged pores and irritation. It offers a safe and effective way to nourish the skin
without clogging pores, while also aligning with the growing demand for
sustainable, c 5 ruelty-free beauty products.

Spreadability test
Procedure:
1 g of Moisturiser was placed on the centre of 5 a glass plate. AA second glass plate
was placed over the cream, and a 500 g weight was applied on top. The weight was
left on the sample for 5 minutes to allow the cream to spread. After 5 minutes, the
weight and top glass plate were removed. The diameter of the spread cream was
measured to be 8 cm.
10 Calculation:
Using the formula for spreadability:
Spreadability=m×l/t
Where:
m = 500 g (weight applied)
15 l = 8 cm (diameter of the spread cream)
t = 5 minutes (converted to seconds = 300 seconds)
Spreadability=500×8/300=13.33 g/cm/sec
Interpretation of Results:
Spreadability value: 13.33 g·cm/sec
20 Conclusion: The Moisturiser shows good spreadability as a spreadability value of
12-14 g·cm/sec is generally considered good for a topical cream. This indicates that
the moisturiser spreads easily, providing smooth application and good coverage on
the skin. This result further suggests that the cream formulation has a favourable
texture and is easy to apply, which enhances its consumer acceptability.
