Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
[001]
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to skin care products, and particularly to an herbal and Vedic skin care product that does not include any chemical or pesticide, and a process for formulation thereof.
BACKGROUND
[002] With rapidly increasing urbanization, pollution levels are increasing in cities and towns. In addition, due to fast-paced daily schedules, level of stress has considerably increased in people’s lives. Pollution and stressful life are known to have detrimental effect on people’s health. For example, pollution and stressful life are known to cause skin related issues (e.g., pimples).
[003] People with skin related issues typically use medicated facewash, creams, or even visit dermatologists for cure. It is known that medicated facewash, creams, etc. include harmful chemicals that may provide short-term relief to the users, however they cause long term side effects that may be harmful for the users. Furthermore, visiting dermatologists frequently may not be financially viable for many users. In addition, the medicines recommended by the dermatologists too may have harmful side effects, and hence are undesirable.
[004] In light of the above-mentioned reasons, many users use home-made remedies to cure their skin related issues. However, in the absence of thorough knowledge and skill set required to prepare an effective home-made remedy, many users end up worsening their skin by using home-made remedies.
[005] Therefore, there exists a need for a skin care product that is safe for users to use, and is available to general public at low cost.
OBJECT
[006] An object of the present disclosure is to formulate a novel herbal and Vedic skin care product formulation.
[007] Another object of the present disclosure is to formulate a novel skin care product formulation that is cheaper than existing skin care products.
[008] Yet another object of the present disclosure is to formulate a novel skin care product that is safe for users to use, and does not include any chemical or pesticide.
