Abstract

The present study focuses on the development and evaluation of a natural herbal shampoo formulation using five wellknown plant-based ingredients like amla (Emblica officinalis), ritha (Sapindus mukorossi), shikakai (Acacia concinna), neem (Azadirachta indica) and aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis). These ingredients were chosen based on their traditional use and scientifically established benefits in hair care, including cleansing, conditioning, antimicrobial action, and scalp nourishment. The objective was to create a shampoo that not only cleanses the hair and scalp effectively but also supports hair growth, reduces dandruff, prevents dryness, and enhances hair texture without the use of synthetic surfactants, or artificial fragrances. The herbal shampoo was prepared using aqueous extraction and cold blending techniques to retain the bioactivity of all components. It was then subjected to extensive physicochemical and biological evaluation, including tests for pH, foam stability, surface tension, dirt dispersion, solid content, detergency, and microbial inhibition. The results demonstrated that the shampoo had a near-neutral pH, good foaming capacity, effective dirt. The formulation of herbal shampoo indicates a safe, eco-friendly, and effective. It also aligns with the increasing consumer demand for natural and sustainable personal care products.
