Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the hydrogel containing the extract of azadirachta indica and tridax procumbens for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis and to check the efficacy of both extracts against malassezia furfur as compare to other standards available in the market. The selection of tridax procumbens (hair growth stimulator, antifungal, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory) and azadirachta indica (insecticidal, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory) was based on the properties of both the plant extracts and these extracts were loaded in a Carbopol to obtained the gel consistency with other ingredients. The combination of the plant extracts (azadirachta indica and tridax procumbens) was selected to enhance the efficacy of the hydrogel. As the scalp needs an adequate amount of moisture & smoothness to get rid of seborrheic dermatitis with dry & itchy skin, hydrogels would be the better choice with their unique properties of high-water content, softness, flexibility and ease of application as compare to other marketed formulation. The prepared phyto – hydrogel have passed all the test including skin irritation test, stability test & many other tests with the hope of good future prospect, investigations and other herbal marketed formulations.
