Lipstick is a product that has become a daily part of the lives of the majority of women throughout the world, with synthetic lipsticks taking the lead. Synthetic has a lot of disadvantages, as well as adverse effects. In recent years, the world has been looking at herbal cosmetics/lipstick, since herbal goods have begun to outperform synthetic products due to their natural powers and lack of side effects. Waxes have long been utilized as formulation aids in cosmetics and medicines. Rice bran wax is a byproduct of the rice bran oil manufacturing process. Rice bran wax is widely accessible and comes from a natural source (Oryza sativa -Family Gramineae). The following research will assess and create herbal lipstick utilizing rice bran wax. The use of rice bran wax is owing to its naturally occurring property of being a significant moisturizer with a glossy and smoothing effect. The use of rice bran wax distinguishes the product by functioning as a fantastic foundation for the lips. The following formulation prepared with rice bran wax as the main component, natural oils such as coconut and almond, rose oil for aroma, and lycopene as a colorant, resulting in absolute spread ability with proper P^H.

Foot cracks (heel fissures) are cracks in the epidermis that can appear as a result of anhidrosis. Fissures can penetrate deep into the dermis and cause discomfort. There are several chemical-containing synthetic foot crack creams available in the market, which cure heel fissures but may lead to other skin disorders. Medicinal plants are boon from nature to cure limitless number of diseases among human beings. Being aware about hazardous side effects from chemical products, in this modern era herbal cosmetic demand is increasing. Natural products are known for their better value, efficacy, and safety. The main aim of our research was to produce herbal foot crack cream formulation consisting of Kokum butter (Garcinia Indica Choicy) along with Coconut oil (Cocos nucifera), Almond oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil), Peppermint oil (Mentha piperita L.), Tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), Oil of jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) and Glycerin (1,2,3-propanetriol). Formulated herbal foot crack cream have smooth appearance, good stability, good spreadability, soothing skin feel, and good absorption. The result showed a potential of this formulation to produce excellent emollient effect. It forms protective occlusive skin barrier on crack skin leaving the skin silky smooth and hydrated.

Caesalpinia bonduc is one of the utterly used medicinal plants in the traditional system of medicine in several parts of the world for several therapeutic purposes. In this study, we conducted the analysis of various phytochemicals present in the three crude extracts (ethanolic, hydroalcoholic and aqueous) of C. bonduc seeds. Ethanolic, hydroalcoholic and aqueous extracts of the C. bonduc seeds were obtained by crushing the seeds into a fine powder, which was followed by solvent extraction methods. Qualitative Tandem Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) and GC-MS were utilized to identify the phytochemicals present in the seed extracts. The data processing revealed the presence of 20 and 21 known compounds in the seed extracts by LC-QTOF-MS/MS and GC/MS, respectively. This data article presents the m/z values, retention times and corresponding database search hit identities of the 20 compounds detected during the LC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis. The major compounds detected using LC-QTOF-MS are Tocopherols, Linoleic acid, Caesalpinines, Caesalmins, Norcaesalpinins, β-amyrin, β-Sitosterol, Campesterol, Caesaldekarins, etc. The GC-MS analysis of the C. bonduc seed extracts recorded 21 bioactive compounds and the major compound reported was named as 2’-cyanospiro (1,2,3,4,6,7,12,12b-octa hydroindolo [2,3-d] quinolizine-1,1’ cycloprppane (23.22%). To our best knowledge, this is the first research report regarding the use of LC-QTOF-MS based phytochemical profiling to check the presence of various bioactive phytochemicals present in the extracts of C. bonduc seeds. This study revealed the presence of various bioactive phytochemicals that can be used as therapeutic drugs for managing several malaises affecting humans in the future. 

Nowadays, the most common occurring problem was hair fall due to frailty of human hair. The reduction in strength of hair anticipated by using chemical-based shampoo, chemical dyestuff, life style, congenital disease. So, the main aim of the study was to formulate herbal shampoo (HS) to reduce hair fall, promote hair growth and strengthen human hair. There were many commercial synthetic preparations of shampoo which contains various chemicals which results on the scalp and hair, but the HS’s have advantages over it. Hence in this research the attempt has been done to formulate shampoo made with natural herbal components. The current study was to exploit the use and to create and assess a HS made from fermented wheat gluten. The main ingredients in this research was fermented wheat (Triticum aestivum) grain flour, which contains mainly gluten (protein) which promote hair growth, nourishment to hair and strengthen human hair, helps in decreasing hair fall. The HS was created by combining many traditional herbs like Aloe vera, Hibiscus-rosa-sinensis, Trigonella foenumn graceum, Phyllanthus, along with gluten. HS formulation has an excellent cleansing, detergency, conditioning, foaming ability, dirt dispersion and Statistical software used to improve the formulas and understand main & interaction consequences for the shampoo properties along with comparison with commercial products. It's perfect to use for normal hair as well as delicate hair and has favourable pH with stable organoleptic feature.  

Schinopsis marginata (Anacardiaceae), vernacular name “horco quebracho”, is a vulnerable native species from the Chaco Serrano district of Argentina and Bolivia. It is relevant because of its great quality wood and low tannin production and dyestuff. The aim of this work was to determine the quality and the method of conservation of Schinopsis marginata seeds/fruits (SF) from two populations from Córdoba, Argentina. The seed moisture (MC), and the dimensions and weight of a thousand fruit-seeds were measured as well as germination at two different times. The treatments applied were scarification, the application of two alternating germination temperature regimes (20/30 °C and 25/35 °C) and these four storage methods: 5-10; 25±3; 35±1 and -20± 1 °C to MC ≤ 6 %. The MC of the collected SF varied among populations (6.31±0.29 %). For both populations, scarification, cutting the mesocarps completely without damaging the seeds, and using alternating temperatures (20/30 and 25/35 °C) depending on the initial maturity of the fruit-seeds is the optimal condition. Besides, germination decreases while seeds/fruits thickness increases. Populations were differentiated by the degree of maturity of the seeds/fruits and germination at collection time. MC and germination percentage are adequate indicators to differentiate the degree of maturity. The seeds/fruits presented an orthodox behavior, tolerating one year of storage at -20 °C with a MC ≤ 6 %. The best storage condition consists in keeping the SF in hermetical jars at 35 °C.
