ABSTRACT:
Beauty is that quality or combination of qualities which gives keen contentment to the senses especially that of
sight & which charms the mind also. The concept of beauty has an old origin & it is as old as mankind &
civilization. One of the ways of expression of beauty is through the appearance of complexion of the skin.
Ayurveda refers it as a’ Varna’. Herbal extracts are primarily added to cosmetic preparations due to several
associated properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is one of the potent herbs used worldwide in cosmetics. The present study was
conducted to prepare Yashtimadhu taila lotion and its physico – chemical analysis because the lotion as topical
suspensions, solutions and emulsions are usually serve as vehicles for topically applied drugs, as emollients, or
as protective or occlusive dressings, or they may be applied to the skin and membranes. pH of this oil in water
phase lotion was around 5 which is suitable for human skin also the other parameters were tested showed
satisfactory results in terms of physico – chemical analysis.
KEY WORDS: Yashtimadhu taila lotion, Varnya, Cosmetics.
INTRODUCTION:
Research Article
The importance of beauty is increasing now a day. Due
to competition in daily life demand of beautification
and its related therapies and products are increasing.
Herbal formulations are considered as safe, potent and
more effective with fewer side effects than chemically
derived formulations. Ayurveda described many
herbal, herbo – mineral formulations for beautification
in a form of many Taila, Ghruta, Lepa, Churna etc.
Although the demand of beauty products is increasing
on other side the problems related to skin which are
de – beautifying the skin due to pollutions, modified
lifestyles, improper food habits and increased uses of
chemically derived products on skin are also
increasing.
Ayurveda has described many Kshudra rogas in
ancient texts; which affects the skin. It can be
developed in both the gender but women are more
tend to this due to hormonal imbalance, changes
occurring in them during their pregnancies, use of
cosmetics for local applications and oral supplements
etc.
In the context of de – beautifying skin, use of
Yashtimadhu taila has been suggested by our ancient
texts. It has amazing results on the skin. It provides
lustrous, blazing and glorifying skin. But application of
oil on a face or a body on a daily basis is inconvenient
and quite difficult. Hence present study was conducted
to develop Yashtimadhu taila lotion as per the
reference given in the Bharat Bhaishjaya Ratnakar [1].
Aim:
Pharmaceutical development & standardization of
Yashtimadhu taila lotion.

mild to moderate fire and heated until foam started
appears.
Step 3: Then required quantity of Kwatha and

of Sariva Bharad and 4 parts of boiling water (300
ml). Later the mixture was macerated well till it was

steel vessel and E – wax was added to it and kept it on
mild fire and heated and waited until it was
completely melt. Then after Yashtimadhu Taila was
added into this mixture with constant stirring. After
sufficient stirring the fire was lit off.
Step 3: Then Body butter + EDTA + Stearic acid +
DMDM was added one by one into this mixture and it

After sufficient blending smooth Yashtimadhu Taila
lotion was obtained.

DISCUSSION :
Reports of pH, physical appearance, refractive index,
loss on drying and skin irritation test are given in
above tables. Human skin is fairly acidic. The optimal
pH of human skin ranges between 5 to 6. The
formulated Yashtimadhu Taila and Yashtimadhu taila
lotion has pH of 5 which is acidic and suitable for
human skin. All the ingredients used for this
formulation are of Varnyakara [5]. They all are
Madhura rasatmaka, Sheeta Viryatmaka and having
Madhura Vipaka. Yashtimadhu and Neel kamla both
are having Varnyakara, Daha prashamanakara,
Lekhaniya properties which are important factors for
enhancing complexion and providing glorious beauty
or clear skin.
Yasthimadhu Taila lotion both was found to be
homogeneous, smooth, and consistent with no
aggregates or sediments with skin compatible and no
irritation found on application [6].
For the preparation of Yashtimadhu Taila lotion we
have used Sariva Phanta instead of distilled water on
trial and error basis, because Sariva itself possesses
Varnyakara, Daha prashamanakara properties.

LOTION
CONCLUSION :
In the present study, the lotion was formulated
successfully. This may be called as oil in water phase
lotion. The topical application of this Yashtimadhu
Taila lotion may have minimum side effects as
compared to allopathic drugs which are needed to be
established. From the above study it was observed
that vitiated Vata and Pitta are majorly responsible
for de – beautification of the skin [7].
So these drugs with Varnya properties are converted
into new dosage form i.e., lotion form for better
application as compared to oil, providing more
stability, convenience and shelf life. However an
elaborate protocol for the pre-clinical and clinical
trials is needed to be designed and implemented to
check the activity on human volunteers and/or
through in-vitro study [8].
