ABSTRACT:

A plant-based formulation using an exogenous carrier andor excipient and an alcohol extract from a Tecoma species (like Tecoma stans). A composition including a combination of the three acids present in the Tecoma species (corosolic acid, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid) is also provided. We detail the use of such formulations in the treatment of skin lesions (including warts, corns, calluses, and umbilical granulomas) and the alleviation of accompanying symptoms. Despite the prevalence of dermatological conditions including skin illnesses, they are typically disregarded in most communities. This is because, while they rarely pose a direct threat to human life, their aesthetic impact is felt globally. Eczema, bacterial infections, fungalyeast infections, viral infections, parasitic infections, autoimmune disorders, and other skin illnesses are all instances of common skin ailments. This study aimed to manufacture and test the efficacy of a herbal cream comprising an extract of the plant's flowers preserved in ethanol. Fifteen separate batches, designated FC1 through FC5, were made using varying proportions of the active components and tested for their effectiveness. Based on the evaluation parameters, FC5 was shown to be superior to other formulation codes.
