ABSTRACT
Axillary osmidrosis (AO) is a condition characterized by offensive odor caused by bacterial decomposition of apocrine sweat. While synthetic antiperspirants are common, concerns regarding chemical sensitizers have increased the demand for herbal alternatives. A novel polyherbal roll-on formulation comprising Curcuma longa, Vetiveria zizanioides, Symplocos racemosa, Rubia cordifolia, Santalum album, Crocus sativus, and Pandanus odoratissimus was developed for the management of AO. To establish the phytochemical fingerprint and standardize the ethanol extract of the herbal body roll-on using High-Performance ThinLayer Chromatography (HPTLC).
