contents <p><span lang="EN-IN">This study focused on formulating and evaluating a herbal ointment using guava (<em>Psidium guajava</em>) leaf extract, known for its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Fresh guava leaves were collected, dried, powdered, and subjected to ethanol extraction. The resulting extract was incorporated into a natural ointment base consisting of lanolin, paraffin, alcohol, and petrolatum jelly. The prepared ointment was assessed for key physical parameters such as color, texture, fragrance, spreadability, pH, and stability under ambient conditions. It was also tested for its wound-healing and infection-preventing properties. Results indicated that the ointment had a smooth texture, pleasant scent, skin-friendly pH, and remained stable over time. It showed effective wound-healing activity and proved beneficial for treating minor skin conditions such as cuts, rashes, and infections. The study concluded that guava leaf extract is a safe, cost-effective, and natural alternative to chemical-based ointments, with promising applications in herbal medicine and skincare.</span></p>
