Design and Development of Topical Hydrogel of <i>Centella Asiatica</i> for the Treatment of Skin Burn

Abstract

This study focuses on the design and development of a topical hydrogel using Centella Asiatica for the treatment of skin burns. Centella Asiatica, a well-known medicinal plant, possesses remarkable woundhealing properties, making it a promising candidate for topical applications. The formulation of the topical hydrogel involved careful consideration of the concentration of Centella Asiatica extract and the carbopol 940 as gel-forming agents to achieve the desired consistency and therapeutic efficacy. Characterization studies included the evaluation of pH, viscosity, and spreadability to ensure the optimal performance of the hydrogel for application on skin burns. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of Centella Asiatica in the development of advanced wound care products.
