Gel formulation of different concentration of extract were formulated that is 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% respectively and antibacterial activity of the gels were measured against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes. In this clindamycin gel was used as the standard for comparative analysis. From evaluation results it was concluded that formulation of 8% showed better antibacterial activity as compared to other formulated preparations. In addition to this, evaluation of gel formulations was performed considering various parameters which were pH, appearance, viscosity, spreadibility and homogeneity and the result were calculated. From the results it was concluded that the ethanol thorn’ extract of Bombax ceiba possess good antibacterial property against the Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes.
