ABSTRACT

With an emphasis on safety and efficacy, the current study set out to create and assess a herbal shampoo that avoids the risks associated with chemical constituents. The primary goal of this study was to replace dangerous synthetic components with safe natural ones in the shampoo mix. It strengthens, darkens, and removes dandruff, sebum, and debris from hair while encouraging hair growth. It does all of these things without harming or altering hair, and it also functions as a conditioning agent. The shampoo was prepared by taking the extracts of Rosemary, tea-tree, fenugreek, amla, reetha and shikakai. Performance tests, physicochemical analyses, and an evaluation of the organoleptic qualities were conducted. The outcomes suggested that this might be utilised as a viable substitute for synthetic sources when it comes to effectively and naturally washing and maintaining hair. The investigation's conclusions show that customers have occasionally experienced negative side effects from chemicals. The current study verified that making herbal shampoo using natural components may be done successfully. Every element that went into making the shampoo is safer, and the physicochemical analysis produced excellent findings.
