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.
