BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Acne vulgaris is an extremely common disorder of skin (pilocebaceous unit) that affects virtually all individuals at least once during life. The incidence of acne peaks at teenage, but substantial numbers of men and women between 20-30 years of age are also affected by the disorder. It is an inflammatory disease of sebaceous follicles of skin marked by comedones, papules and pustules. The presence of bacterias Propionibacterium acne, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Malassezia furfur in follicular canal was also one of the reasons for the acne. Propionibacterium acneis obligatory anaerobic organism residing in human skin as cutaneous flora. The oxidative stress within the pilo sebaceous unit changes the environment from aerobic to anaerobic which is the best suited for this gram positive bacterium. Propionibacterium acne bacteria use sebum, cellular debrisand metabolic by products from the surrounding skin tissue as their primary sources of energy and nutrients. Elevated production of sebum by hyperactive sebaceousglands or blockage of the follicle can cause Propionibacterium acne bacteria to grow and multiply.
[0004] Acne may be classified according to predominance of specific skin lesions: Comedonal (non-inflammatory), mild Papular (inflammatory), mild-to-moderate Pustular (inflammatory), moderate nodulocystic and severe acne. This order also follows increasing severity, with cutaneous scarring as the ultimate result. All forms of acne involve one or more of these pathophysiologic factors hyperkeratinization of the follicular epithelium with comedone formation, increased sebum production, bacterial proliferation of Propionibacterium acne and local immune hypersensitivity causing inflammation. Multiple

factors can lead to acne such as sebum, abnormal follicular differentiation, hormones,
Propionibacterium acne, inflammation and nutrition.
[0005] Various products are available in the market for the treatment of acne. However,
due to increased instances of resistance of acne inducing bacteria's towards the antibiotics,
the alternate system of medicine for the treatment of acne have been investigated and
adopted. Among the alternate systems of medicine the topical therapeutic agents are more
convenient for application.
[0006] World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that 4 billion people, who make
nearly 70% of the world's population, are users of herbal medicine for some purpose of
primary health care. Medicinal herbs have always been in usage in some form or the other in
indigenous systems of medicines including ayurveda, sidha and unani in India.
[0007] Many herbal origin components are available in nature with good anti acne
property. These components can be incorporated in formulation and can be used as a good
alternate for allopathic treatment without having side effects on the skin. For the anti-acne
purpose a formulation should contain various components such as antioxidants, exfoliators,
antiseptics.
[0008] There is, therefore, a need to develop a herbal composition comprising of
medicinal herbs which is safe, stable, economical and effective against acne.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide a herbal composition comprising
of medicinal herbs for the treatment of acne.
[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a herbal composition which
is stable, safe and economical for acne treatment.
[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a herbal composition which
is multifunctional in the acne treatment.

[0059] The present invention is further explained in the form of following examples. However, it is to be understood that the following examples are merely illustrative and are not to be taken as limitations upon the scope of the invention. Example 1: Preparation ofCream formulation Essential Ingredients:

[0060] The formulation components listed in the table 1 were used in the preparation of cream formulation. Moisturizing agent was a mixture of propylene glycol: glycerine: sorbitol (2:1:1). All the aqueous soluble components, sodium metabisulphite, EDTA, moisturizer, triethanolamine, methyl paraben, propyl paraben and water were mixed in a beaker. On the other hand the oil soluble components that were stearic acid, cetyl alcohol, mineral oil, almond oil and active ingredients were mixed in another beaker. Both beakers were kept on water bath for maintaining the temperature 75±5°C and when the temperature was maintained then aqueous phase was added to oil phase with continuous stirring until the mixture cools to obtain a cream formulation.

Results:
[0062] Ordinary one way ANOVA was applied and all the results were significant of
each other with p value =<0.0001. It was found in the results that total antioxidant capacity of
the example 1 was maximum because of synergistic effect of these three herbal extracts and
oil.
[0063] The example 1 of the present invention results in uniform distribution of extracts
in cream. This was confirmed by visual appearance and by touch. Emolliency, slipperiness
and amount of residue left after the application of fixed amount of cream was found good.
The % drug release was also studied for 1440 min which show good results.
[0064] The two way ANOVA with Dunnett multiple comparisons test showed that the
formulation of example 1 gave significant release (p<0.0001) profile.
[0065] There was no microbial growth observed and no skin irritation was observed when
the cream of the present invention was applied to the goat skin and no signs of irritation,
inflammation, redness were noticed during the whole period of study that was for 24 hrs. It
was observed during stability studies that the formulation do not showed perceptible signs of

phase separation after centrifugation. Thus, the developed formulation is stable. From the studies discussed, we can conclude that on combining the extracts of Apricot oil, Champa Flower and Rose merry extracts in different ratios give acne effect on skin. The combined extracts of Apricot, champa flower and rosemary flower showed improved and synergistic cosmetic properties when compared to individual extracts. Example 10: Antimicrobial Activity
[0066] Antibiotics are often prescribed in acne treatment; however, Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, the two of the major acne-associated bacteria, developed antibiotic resistance. The potential anti-acne activity of herbal extract of Apricot, Champa Flower and Rose merry flower has been evaluated.

4 Cream (Example 1) 0.380 mg/mL 0.670 mg/mL 0.710 mg/mL 1.44 mg/mL
Results:
[0067] Antimicrobial activity screening of these extracts in cream exhibit the strongest antimicrobial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.38 mg/mL and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 0.71 mg/mL against P. acnes; and MIC of 0.67 mg/mL and MBC of 1.44 mg/mL against S. epidermidis. The cream also exhibited the strongest anti-biofilm effect against S. epidermidis with MBC 1.44 mg/mL and killing dynamic time of 11 and 7 h against P. acnes and S. epidermidis, respectively. The formulation of the present invention showed superior healing and antimicrobial effects compared to the available marketed formulation. Collectively, our data suggested that cream with the composition of the present invention is a potential natural and effective alternative for treating acne and overcoming the emerging antibiotic resistance.
