The aim of present study was to prepare herbal gel formulation containing methanolic extract of Ricinus Communis on psoriasis. Topical gel formulation was designed by using methanolic extract of seeds of Ricinus Communis in varied concentrations. The gel was prepared by using carbopol 940(1%w/v), Ricinus Communis Extract, ethanol, propylene glycol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, EDTA disodium, tri-ethanolamine and required amount of distilled water. The prepared gels were evaluated for physical appearance, pH, spread ability, drug content, swelling index, diffusion study, viscosity, homogeneity and grittiness. It was inferred from results that gel formulations were good in appearance and homogeneity
