The qualitative analysis of Clitoria ternatea shows the presence of bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, resins, steroids, saponins, flavonoids and phenols. The quantitative estimation of total Saponins, Flavonoids and Phenols in roots and of Flavonoids in shoots, flowers and seeds is also reported which is very important for the pharmaceutical industry. This is valuable information for preparation of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry and stress the need for more intensive research in this medicinal plant since the compounds play a great role in healthcare. Curcumin (diferuloyl methane), the natural yellow pigment in turmeric, is isolated from the rhizomes of the plant Curcuma longa. It constitutes about 3-4% of the composition of turmeric 1 . The turmeric spice has been used for many centuries mainly as a food additive, primarily because of its golden yellow color. The medicinal properties of this spice were recognized in Indian folklore medicine and in Ayurveda, which is an ancient Indian traditional system of medicine. It was used as a tonic for improving health and in various combinations for the treatment of diseases such as common cold. The major breakthrough in realizing the medicinal value of turmeric came with the isolation of phenolics called "curcuminoids" , of which curcumin is the major constituent. By using grinder charcoal, green tea was crushed to make powder. Desired quantities of herbal drugs were weighed and each herb macerated with water in conical flask. Add rose water and dried herbs were allowed to mix with water by moderate shaking of conical flask for 3 days. After 3 days content was filtered out by using a simple filtration method and filtrates were collected in a separate vessel. The pH of the cream base was found to be in range of B6.2-6.9 which is good for skin pH. The viscosity of the cream was in the range of 27021-27053 cps which indicates spreadability of cream.
