Abstract
The present invention relates to a formulation of herbal cream for cracked heels and palms. Since the components in the formulation are from herbal sources it is very safe and eco-friendly and does not produce any harmful effects on the skin. It is comprised of a natural wax as an emulsifier, extract of curcuma and the gum of Acacia or Colophonium or Shorea. The gum gives a synergistic effect in binding and healing the skin with natural wound healing herbal extract selected from the aqueous extracts of curcuma, neem and allantonin. This is combined with a wound healing fragrant oil. The natural wound healing herbal extract acts as a humectant and the gum gives an synergistic effect in binding the skin thereby reducing water loss from the skin. The cream spreads evenly and smoothly when applied on the affected parts, and quickens healing, restores natural suppleness and softness and also serves as an antiseptic.
