ABSTRACT
Objective -The purpose of this work was to develop and explore the correct method extract of S.Aqueum topical Ointment and scrub, which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Method-Using the soxhlet extraction method; fresh fruit water apple extract was created. The antibacterial activity was assessed using Staphylococcus aureus as the test organism. The water apple extract was tested for its physiochemical and antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-acne properties when it was formulated into a herbal medicated scrub and a herbal medical Ointment. Result -The Ointment and scrub formulations have a pH range of 7.2 and 4-6, respectively. Both of the herbal treatments were well-suited for washing. The single bacteria (S.cocci) that was employed was scrub-sensitive, notwithstanding a modest difference in their zones of inhibition. After preservative (honey) was added to the scrub, the sensitivity issue was resolved. Conclusion -As water apples, sometimes referred to as rose apples or watery rose apples, they are a veritable treasure trove of trace elements, important micronutrients, and strong antioxidants. In addition to being extremely helpful in treating various conditions including diabetes and heart disease, they also transmit positive attributes that improve both physical and mental health.
