ABSTRACT

Beauty and cosmetics are as old as humanity and culture. As a result, they use a variety of herbal-based beauty products to appear attractive and youthful. Because of the concept of less side effects and a higher protection and security profile, herbal cosmetics are now commonly used by the wider populace. The aim of this study was to develop a polyherbal oil that could be used to treat hair issues such as dry or flaky scalp and thinning hair, as well as stimulate hair growth, improve scalp blood circulation, prevent dandruff, and increase volume to the shaft. The formulated hair oil contains a variety of herbal plants that have traditionally been used to promote hair growth. The formulated herbal oil was evaluated for viscosity, saponification value, pH, and other factors.
