Abstract

Many individuals suffer from acne and other related skin problems due to their stressful lifestyles. There is a demand for skin-friendly and sustainable products to combat the harsh effects of this. Moringa oleifera leaves are known to possess an antimicrobial compound, Aglycon of Deoxy-Niazimicin (N-benzyl, S-ethyl thioformate), which is known to possess a strong action spectrum against Staphylococcus aureus, which is believed to be the primary causative agent of acne. Apart from that, it contains many bioactive compounds like flavonoids, vitamins, which can protect the skin cells from the repercussions of underlying developing oxidative stress. These properties of M. oleifera leaves have been utilized to create a skincare kit consisting of a nourishing face gel and face wash to combat the aforementioned problems. Our product not only aims at eradicating acne-related problems but also in enriching the skin’s natural health and longevity. The materials and methods adopted to formulate the products have been discussed with emphasis on the composition of the products. Furthermore, the scope of the product and other natural alternatives to skincare products was addressed.
