Abstract :
The present study aims to formulate and evaluate a herbal shampoo incorporating multiple natural ingredients known for their therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. The formulation includes Shikakai, Aloe vera, Neem, Hibiscus, and Black sesame, combined with suitable excipients to enhance stability and usability. These herbs were selected for their traditional efficacy in promoting hair growth, improving scalp health, providing natural cleansing, and exhibiting antimicrobial and conditioning properties. The shampoo was prepared through standardized procedures and evaluated for key physicochemical parameters including pH, viscosity, foam stability, dirt dispersion, wetting ability, solid content, and surface tension. All prepared formulations exhibited desirable characteristics suitable for cosmetic use. Among them, one formulation demonstrated superior performance in terms of cleansing efficiency, consistency, aesthetic appeal, and stability. The findings support the use of herbal constituents in developing safe, effective, and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional synthetic shampoos.
