Moringa, which is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols and flavonoids, exhibits nourishing as well as antimicrobial activity in enhancing scalp conditions and fortifying hair follicles, being soft on the scalp. The blending of these plants is meant to give a chemical-free, natural alternative to mainstream shampoos. The composition was tested against physicochemical parameters like pH, foam ability, and conditioning effect. Findings showed that the herbal shampoo exhibits good cleansing power, good consistency, and great hair conditioning. The research points to the promising potential of Moringa as efficient, sustainable ingredients in herbal hair care formulations to back the increasing popularity of natural and holistic personal care products. The research investigates the formulation and evaluation of (F1-F5) Moringa herbal shampoo variants, aiming to identify the most effective composition for hair care applications. Among the (F1-F5), the F3 exhibited optimal characteristics of concentration 16% (w/v) including a balanced pH, high viscosity, excellent foaming ability, and effective cleansing properties. These results suggest that the F3 offers superior performance in terms of safety, stability, and efficacy.
