Abstract Herbal cosmetics are formulations derived from plant-based ingredients designed to enhance and maintain the skin’s natural appearance. The objectives of this study are formulation and evaluation of herbal moisturizing cream containing microparticles loaded fish oil and natural ginger antioxidants. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) of fish oil ranged from 78.60 to 84.50%, whereas that of ginger extract ranged from 52.6 to 62.21%. The results showed that the encapsulates formulated with gum acacia and fish oil (E3) exhibited a lower TBA value (1.58 mg malonaldehyde kg⁻¹) than the E1 (9.85 mg malonaldehyde kg⁻¹) on the seventh day, indicating better oxidative stability. The formulated cream demonstrated good physical and chemical stability, with no changes in appearance, consistency, spreadability, homogeneity, pH, or viscosity over the study period. The cream exhibited a viscosity range of 47,899–79,970 cps, indicating good spreadability and easy application. Overall, the research concluded that the herbal moisturizer containing microencapsulated fish oil and natural ginger antioxidant was stable, effective, and safe for skin application. These findings suggest that the formulation has potential as a natural, antioxidant-rich topical product for skin hydration and protection.
