Abstract
In the present study, hair formulations were prepared using Trigonella foenum-graecum, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Phyllanthus emblica, Murraya koenigii, Rosa damascena, Azadirachta indica, Citrus limon, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Mentha arvensis, Jasminum sambac, Aloe barbedensis, Camellia sinensis. Seven formulations were made using definite ratios of extracts. The antifungal activity of formulated polyherbal hair oils was evaluated by the agar well diffusion method against the fungus Malassezia furfur, a causative agent of the dandruff problem. Among the seven different combination samples, Sample II and Sample VI showed better inhibition effect against M.furfur. Hence, the formulated herbal oils are eco-friendly, natural and can be used as an alternative for synthetic anti-dandruff products.
