To Formulate and Evaluate Herbal Anti-Dandruff and Scalp Soothing Shampoo

Artificial ingredients found in commercially available (synthetic) shampoos damage hair follicles, irritate the scalp, and have other negative effects. Because they are increasingly aware of the damage that synthetic products may bring to their skin, hair, and eyes, consumers prefer herbal products over synthetic ones. Because they have fewer side effects, herbal products are better than synthetic ones. One kind of cosmetic product manufactured using herbs is herbal shampoo. Its primary purpose is to cleanse the scalp and hair of extra oil, dirt, and dandruff. This study's main objective is to develop and evaluate a polyherbal shampoo made with natural ingredients. The following plants are utilised in the shampoo production process: Shikakai fruit (Acacia concinna), Amla (Emblica officinalis), Reetha (Sapindus mukorossi), Neem leaf (Azadirachta indica), and Hibiscus flower (Hibiscus rosea). Physical appearance, pH, wetting, surface tension, viscosity, foam stability, dirt dispersion, percentage solid content, antibacterial activity, skin irritation, and stability tests were all assessed for the formulations. Studies on the prepared shampoo's stability over a period of one to two months revealed little variations in their evaluation tests.
