Now a day’s different types of natural materials are used for skin protection the beautification and promoting appearance. Natural materials were used in cosmetics for the purpose of increase the beauty of women and then onwards they have started to dress themselves. The Aim of the Present Study is to Formulate, Develop and Evaluate of Multi-Purpose Skin Cream Prepared by using oil in water method. Hollow cream is prepared by oil in water method to create the caring of body. The ingredients are extracted by using aqueous method and alcoholic method. The prepared body cream was o/w type emulsion, hence can be easily washed with plane water which gives better customer compliance. Our study indicated that the formulations (C3 and C6) were more stable. The prepared formulations showed good spread ability, no evidence of phase separation. These formulations (C3 and C6) had almost a constant PH, emollient properties; they were not greasy and easily removable after the application. The stable formulations were safe and skin irritations and allergic sensitizations were scarce. All the formulations passed the microbial limit test which included some parameters like total bacterial count and fungal count; pathogens like E.Coli and Bacillus were also absent.
