Abstract: Curcuma longa, also known as turmeric, is a Zingiberaceae plant whose rhizomes are used to make the spice. Curcumin is well known for its anti-inflammatory qualities and skin-protective characteristics. Curcumin has long been used to treat skin infections and inflammation in natural herbal medicines. The purpose of this project is to formulate a turmeric-based anti-inflammatory cream. The herbal cream was created utilizing the primary emulsion method. Different physiochemical tests were performed on the turmeric cream, including drug content, spreadability, viscosity, appearance, homogeneity, grittiness, viscosity, pH measurement, and anti-inflammatory action. The study's findings of various physicochemical properties were determined to be satisfactory and consistent with the commercially available turmeric cream. The data was acceptable and in line with the commercial product.
