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.
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.

RECRUITINGMeasurement of ant-aging activity of Pomegranate and Ginkgo biloba
The crow's feet wrinkle of 17 volunteers will be measured compared to the control group. The significant results will measure the decrease in the depths of deep furrows for groups treated with Pomegranate and Ginkgo biloba over a three months period.
Time frame: Three months
Stable topical anti-aging products for long life shelf storage
Stability test will be studied for dosage forms. The test will be carried out by standing the products on shelf life for six months. The stability test will be recorded using high-performance liquid chromatography each thee days.
Time frame: Six months
