This study aimed to conduct an ethnobotanical survey of cosmetic plants in Katsina State and formulate a polyherbal lightening cream using Curcuma longa and Cucurbita pepo extracts. The Research involved two main aspects. A semi-structured interview was used to gather information on the use cosmetic plants.23 plants were identified including: Aloe vera, Calatropis procera, Magnifera indica, Carica papaya,Allium cepa. These plants were found to have various cosmetic benefits such as skin lightening, weight loss, hair treatment, acne treatment. An attempt was made to formulate a safe lightening cream using plants extract Curcuma longa and Cucurbita pepo. The formulation process involved: procurement of plants, preparation of the extracts (powdered extracts using Ethanol, cold press method was used for the oil extract).
