Abstract: This study focuses on formulating and evaluating a depilatory cream prepared using Ponnathram (Hartala) powder, a traditional yellow mineral historically used in South Indian practices for hair-removal purposes. Because the raw mineral contains arsenic compounds, it was first subjected to the Shodhana detoxification process, involving cleaning, boiling in herbal media, repeated heating, and quality checks to obtain purified Ponnathram suitable for topical use. The cream was prepared by incorporating the purified powder into a base composed of methyl cellulose, glycerin, talc, and water, resulting in a uniform paste.The formulation was assessed for its organoleptic properties, pH, homogeneity, spreadability, and viscosity. The prepared cream exhibited a bright yellow appearance, smooth texture, and it was free from lumps or grittiness. The pH was strongly alkaline, consistent with the mechanism of chemical depilatories that weaken the keratin structure of hair. The spreadability and viscosity values indicated that the cream could be easily applied and maintain a suitable consistency.The study provides preliminary information on the physical characteristics of a Ponnathram-based depilatory cream offering a basis for further investigation into its performance and safety.
Keywords: Ponnathram powder, Hartala(orpiment), depilatory cream, arsenic trisulphide, Traditional yellow mineral, Hair removal cream, shodhana, topical formulation, keratin breakdown, alkaline depilatory, herbal detoxification, cosmetic evaluation, spredability.
