Evaluation and Formulation of Anti-Microbial Gel Using Lavender Oil and Rosemary Oil

Introduction: Salvia Rosemary is a medicinal herb of great importance for traditional applications against several kinds of disease. Because of the range of bioactive compounds, the genus of Salvia Rosemary is regarded as one of the most significant genus utilised in many medical systems. This plant was chemically investigated for its bioactive compounds in the current analysis. Materials and Methods: The essential oil of Rosemary extract by using clevenger apparatus with the help of distillation method. Result: The anti-microbial gel was evaluated for appearance and homogeneity, grittiness, pH, viscosity, particle size etc. The anti-microbial gel was white in colour which feels smooth on application and have aromatic odour. The antimicrobial activity of herbal gel was compared with standard and it’s found to be less effective. Conclusion: It was inferred from the result that anti-microbial gel was good in appearance, homogeniety and easily spreadable. The anti-microbial gel was prepared using gelling agent like carbopol 934 along with polyethylene glycol and the formulation were subjected to various evaluation parameters. The pH of all three formulations were in the range of the pH of the skin. The Antimicrobial gel was less effective then standard gel as they have rosemary oil and lavender oil as their key ingredients because of their anti-microbial property.
