ABSTRACT
The present study aims to formulate and evaluate emulgel containing Coriander leaves extract and Lavender oil – A herbal medication for its anti-bacterial potential. The hydro-ethanolic extract of Coriander was prepared by using Rotary evaporator. The extract along with lavender oil was formulated into an emulgel by incorporating emulsion into the gel base. The antibacterial activity of emulgel was evaluated using agar well diffusion method. The hydro-ethanolic extract of Coriander as well as the prepared formulation shows antibacterial activity. All the prepared Emulgel formulation showed acceptable pH, Spreadability, Extrudability and Viscosity. The zone of inhibition increased on increasing the concentration of coriander leaves extract in the formulated emulgel. It can be concluded from the study that F1 has better pH, spreadability and extrudability when compared to F2 formulation.
