FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF POLYHERBAL SHAMPOO FOR SCALP HEALTH AND STRESS RELIFE
The goal of the current study is to create and assess a polyherbal shampoo with natural components including soap nut, hibiscus, amla, aloe vera, and other chosen herbal additives. A stable shampoo formulation was created by combining the powdered or extracted herbs with a moderate surfactant base. The physicochemical characteristics of the produced formulation such as pH, foam height, dirt dispersion, viscosity, solid content, wetting time, and stability, were assessed. The polyherbal shampoo demonstrated good foaming power, sufficient cleansing properties, stability during storage, and an acceptable pH suitable for scalp application, according to the results. The natural conditioning, antibacterial, and hair-strengthening qualities were provided by the herbal components.Overall, the prepared polyherbal shampoo showed good visual appeal, safety, and effective washing, indicating its promise as a natural substitute for synthetic commercial shampoos.
