An Ayurvedic preparation called Shata Dhauta Ghrita is prepared by washing ghee with water up to a hundred times, turning it into a cold, smooth, and non-greasy cream that has anti-aging and moisturizing properties. Because of its neutral pH and improved, non-granular consistency, Shata Dhauta Ghrita is an appropriate option for topical treatments, as compared to normal ghee, which has an oily texture and a strong scent. The purpose of this study was to create a cream by combining natural components such rice starch, Mulberry oil, Aloe vera gel, and Moringa oil with Shata Dhauta Ghrita as a base. To determine the formulation's efficacy as a moisturizer and anti-aging agent, its physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics were examined. The Niragni method (without heat) was used to make the ghee, which required multiple washings with pure water to achieve its purity. To ensure its stability, emulsifiers and preservatives were added to the finished cream mixture. The cream's viscosity (689.4 to 689.8 cps) indicated high spreadability, and its pH ranged from 6.7 to 6.9, which is optimal for skin. After a day of usage, the mixture produced no redness, swelling, or irritation, indicating that it was compatible with the skin. It also showed good homogeneity, a smooth texture, and effortless washing. According to phytochemical analysis, Aloe vera gel, Mulberry oil, and Moringa oil all had excellent anti-aging, anti-acne, and antioxidant properties. Additionally, throughout testing, the cream shown no microbiological growth, indicating good preservation. In general, the Shata Dhauta Ghrita cream demonstrated good physical qualities, skin compatibility, and antimicrobial activity, which makes it an appealing natural herbal skin care product, especially for anti-aging and moisturizing uses.
