Formulation And Evaluation Of Herbal Hair Serum

This project focuses on the preparation and formulation of herbal hair serum using extracts from Carica papaya leaves and Wrightia tinctoria leaves. The Carica papaya leaf extract was obtained through maceration with 96% ethanol & water, while the Wrightia tinctoria extract was done by using Soxhlet extraction with ethanol. Phytochemical analysis of both extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, and flavonoids. Solubility studies indicated that the extracts are soluble in water, ethanol, warm water, and chloroform. The herbal hair serum formulation involved by using the extracts of Carica papaya and Wrightia tinctoria with coconut oil and almond oil, and enhancing the fragrance with lavender oil. The resulting serum was evaluated for its physical and chemical properties. It exhibited a pinkish color and a pleasant aroma. The pH of the serum was measured with a digital pH meter and found to be appropriate for hair application. The serum demonstrated good spreadability and suitable viscosity, as measured by a Brookfield Viscometer and Smoothness of the hair serum was also evaluated. Stability testing confirmed that the formulation remains consistent under various conditions, making it a promising herbal hair care product.
