Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As the quality of life improves, people are seeking to look as young as they feel. Ginkgo biloba (GB) and Pomegranate (PG) extract can be used to create efficacious topical anti-aging products. GB \& PG are now widely used in research and clinical trials on age-associated diseases, for example, skin aging, brain dysfunction, cardiovascular system diseases, carcinogen metabolism. The investigator's aim is to formulate a topical cream in the form (O/W or W/O emulsion) formulation, containing GB as an anti-aging formulation for the public.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, a vanishing cream will be prepared by reaction of a stearic acid with alkali (NaOH) to form stearate soap. Then the GB extract will be added to the final form. The formulated cream will be characterized for identifying the type of emulsion, calibration curve for GB, drug content, irritation to skin, homogeneity test, pH, FT-IR test, ex vivo studies, physical stability, and human application. Finally, a 9-questions questionnaire was published using Google forms for the human volunteers.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Cream Base

Intervention Type DRUG

The formulated dosage form without ginkgo biloba or pomegranate will be applied to the 30 aging people who are suffering from wrinkles in the skin male and female. Typically, will be applied on two groups, one man (Group 0a) and one woman were (Group 0b) which they will be used plain cream.

Pomegrante and Ginkgo biloba group

A group of volunteers with the aging state receiving natural extracts of ginkgo biloba and Pomegranate in different topical dosage forms.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Pomegrante and Ginkgo biloba group

Intervention Type DRUG

The extracts of ginkgo biloba and Pomegranate as formulated in topical dosage form will be applied to the 30 aging people who are suffering from wrinkles in the skin male and female. Formulated cream will be applied on two groups, one man (Group Ia)and one woman (Group Ib).
