Development And Assessment of Natural Herbal Shampoo: A Botanically Based Approach

This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal shampoo using plant-derived ingredients like Hibiscus, Neem, Henna, Amla, Shikakai, Ritha, and Aloe-vera, all obtained in powder form from local markets. The preparation involved creating a decoction and mixing the powders, after which the shampoo was assessed for organoleptic and physico-chemical properties. The resultant herbal shampoo not only cleanses but also conditions hair, promoting health and addressing issues like dandruff and lice while being safer and less allergenic compared to synthetic options. The findings underscore the beneficial properties of herbal shampoos, highlighting their potential as effective cosmetic products.
