Microencapsulation of Cassia alata extract for topical application
Cassia alata has been known to provide relief from various types of abnormal skin conditions. Ointments containing this plant extract can be found in a limited market as most have not been properly registered with regulating bodies. However, it is anticipated that a systematic study may result in co...
