Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Hair Serum from Clitoria ternatea Flower Extraction

Cosmetics play a significant role in daily life, primarily for enhancing beauty and caring for the skin. Numerous commercial brands are available in a market for daily use. These products contain synthetic chemicals, which can lead to adverse effects. In recent times, there has been a growing preference for herbal cosmetics, as they are perceived to have fewer side effects and greater safety. Hair, being a crucial element of elegance and visual appeal is often the focus of various herbal products, including shampoos, oils, dyes, and hair serums. Hair serum serves as a cosmetic formulation aimed at mitigating hair loss, enhancing hair texture, and strengthening hair strands. The primary goal of this study is to formulate an herbal hair serum using Clitoria ternatea extract to stimulate hair growth. Additional components, including flaxseeds, fenugreek, aloe vera, and rose water, are incorporated into the serum's preparation. Three batches were prepared by varying the proportions of these ingredients. Each batch was evaluated for physical appearance, pH levels, homogeneity, viscosity and spreadability. All evaluated parameters met the established standards, indicating satisfactory quality. Current research has revealed that herbal formulations are effective in enhancing hair consistency.
