Brief Summary:
As the quality of life improves, people are seeking to look as young as they feel. Ginkgo biloba (GB) and Pomegranate (PG) extract can be used to create efficacious topical anti-aging products. GB & PG are now widely used in research and clinical trials on age-associated diseases, for example, skin aging, brain dysfunction, cardiovascular system diseases, carcinogen metabolism. The investigator's aim is to formulate a topical cream in the form (O/W or W/O emulsion) formulation, containing GB as an anti-aging formulation for the public.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders Drug: Cream Base Drug: Pomegrante and Ginkgo biloba group Phase 1

Detailed Description:
In this study, a vanishing cream will be prepared by reaction of a stearic acid with alkali (NaOH) to form stearate soap. Then the GB extract will be added to the final form. The formulated cream will be characterized for identifying the type of emulsion, calibration curve for GB, drug content, irritation to skin, homogeneity test, pH, FT-IR test, ex vivo studies, physical stability, and human application. Finally, a 9-questions questionnaire was published using Google forms for the human volunteers.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Placebo Comparator: Cream base
A group of volunteers receiving placebo medications without natural extracts of ginkgo biloba and Pomegranate.
 Drug: Cream Base
The formulated dosage form without ginkgo biloba or pomegranate will be applied to the 30 aging people who are suffering from wrinkles in the skin male and female. Typically, will be applied on two groups, one man (Group 0a) and one woman were (Group 0b) which they will be used plain cream.
Other Name: Aging group recieving placebo dosage form
Active Comparator: Pomegrante and Ginkgo biloba group
A group of volunteers with the aging state receiving natural extracts of ginkgo biloba and Pomegranate in different topical dosage forms.
 Drug: Pomegrante and Ginkgo biloba group
The extracts of ginkgo biloba and Pomegranate as formulated in topical dosage form will be applied to the 30 aging people who are suffering from wrinkles in the skin male and female. Formulated cream will be applied on two groups, one man (Group Ia)and one woman (Group Ib).
Other Name: Aging group receive ginkgo biloba and Pomegranate


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Measurement of ant-aging activity of Pomegranate and Ginkgo biloba [ Time Frame: Three months ]
    The crow's feet wrinkle of 17 volunteers will be measured compared to the control group. The significant results will measure the decrease in the depths of deep furrows for groups treated with Pomegranate and Ginkgo biloba over a three months period.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Stable topical anti-aging products for long life shelf storage [ Time Frame: Six months ]
    Stability test will be studied for dosage forms. The test will be carried out by standing the products on shelf life for six months. The stability test will be recorded using high-performance liquid chromatography each thee days.
