Formulation and Evaluation of Polyherbal Shampoo Containing Different Herbal extract

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to formulate and evaluate polyherbal shampoo containing natural ingredients with an emphasis on safety and efficacy. It clears dirt and dandruff, promotes hair growth, luster, strengthens and darkens the hair. The shampoo is prepared by taking the polyherbal extract from Hibiscus Flowers, Pomegranate Peels, Neem Leaves, Curry Leaves, Shikakai and Amla Fruit in different proportions. Several physicochemical tests were performed for visual assessment, wetting time, pH, viscosity, assurance of solid contents, surface tension, dirt dispersion, conditioning performance and foam stability. The formulated polyherbal shampoo is brown in color with demonstrable good froth stability, good cleansing ability, low surface tension, optimum pH and conditioning activity. Dirt dispersion of polyherbal shampoo is light in colour along with 25 ml foam height. All these are the ideal characteristics of good quality polyherbal shampoo to be used in daily life. However, further scientific investigation is required for validation of its overall quality.
