Abstract

The present study develops a formulation of Nano cream which is made by the extract of marine seaweed (Brown algae) from the Kodiyakkarai beach in Nagapattinam district . The antioxidant activity of the cream formulation from the silver rnanoparticles extract of brown algae were found. The biosynthesis of AgNP’s were characterized by uv – visible spectroscopy. After confirming the antimicrobial property of AgNP’s they were incorporated into the cream. Cream formulation of AgNP’s were prepared and confirmed for their antimicrobial activity against human pathogens. Our results show that AgNP cream possess significantly higher antimicrobial activity against the tested organism and safe to use.
