Sutar Manisha et al. formulated a polyherbal shampoo using amla fruit, hibiscus
leaf, neem leaf, shikakai fruit, aloe leaf, henna leaf, Retha fruit and evaluated
for organoleptic, powder characteristics, dirt dispersion, wetting time, foam test and
physical evaluation and considered as safe.
Gholamreza Dehghan et al. formulated a herbal conditioner shampoo using
fenugreek seeds methanol extract and evaluated for physicochemical properties. It is
concluded that the formulated shampoo has a good quality of introducing it to the
market.
Mohamed Halith et al. formulated herbal shampoo using natural ingredients
with tulasi and neem. Both are having anti dandruff action. The study revealed that
the anti dandruff activity of Ocimum sanctum and Azadiracta indica against strains of

Primary function is of cleansing the hair of accumulated sebum, scalp, debris and residues of hair
grooming preparations. The herbal shampoo although better in performance and safer than the
synthetic ones will be popular with consumers.
 OBJECTIVES
 1) To formulate the herbal shampoo.
 2) To evaluate the herbal shampoo.
 3) The part used for formulation is leaves, fruits and root.
 4) To reduce side effects of chemical formulation.
 5) To improve hairs texture.
 6) To darkening the hair colour.

Result and Discussion

Retha extract:
 It is prepared by cold maceration method.
 50 gm of Retha powder in 70% ethyl alcohol.
Amla extract:
 50 gm of amla powder in 250 ml water and boil .
Shikakai extract:
 50 gm of shikakai powder boiled in 250 ml water.
Gelatine solution:
 Boil 50 ml of water and add 1 gm gelatine powder and again boil for 5 minute .
Hibiscus:
 2.5 gm of hibiscus powder in 50 ml water and boil .

 Weighed all the ingredients according to the formula.
 Decoction of Hibiscus, Reetha , Amla , Shikakai was prepared in one part of water.
Filter it, by using Filter paper.
 Collect filtrate. Mixed to each other of above filtrate with constant stirring.
 Mixed gaur gum as a thickening agent for maintenance of consistency of herbal
shampoo as like semisolid nature.
 Preservatives and perfume was added lastly.

Physical appearance:
 The formulations prepared were evaluated in terms of their clarity, foam producing
ability and fluidity.
Determination of pH:
 The pH of shampoo solution in distilled water was determined at room temperature
by using pH paper.

Medicinal plants used in the formulation of herbal shampoo were found as rich source
of novel drugs. These plants were Ritha , Amla, Shikakai , Hibiscus been reported for
hair growth and conditioning. The various quality control parameters were checked.
The pH of the shampoo has been shown to be important for improving and enhancing
the qualities of hair, minimizing the irritation to the eyes and stabilizing the ecological
balance of the scalp. Though the product is in dry form inspite has wonderful wetting
capacity and being dry is very good for the storage. The evaluation parameters like
Organoleptic evaluation, General powder Characters, Physicochemical Evaluation,
Cleaning action, foaming, Dirt dispersion, Wetting agent, Nature of hair after wash
was carried out and was found to be within the standard range.

A survey of global hair care market trends indicates that consumer use of herbal products has
significant increased over the past years. The factors like UV radiations, use of harsh chemical
products have direct and indirect impact on the hair. The present work focuses on the potential
of herbal extracts from cosmetic purposes. Hence we conclude that the formulation of
polyherbal shampoo is effective in reducing dandruff without irritation, less adverse effect and
better conditioning effect. Present investigations was carried out to formulate the herbal
shampoo preparations based upon traditional knowledge and to develop few parameters for
quality and purity of herbal shampoo. Nowadays there is strong demand for natural therapies,
and this is increasing in western countries. The herbs which are a cheapest of phytoconstituents
are on wheals to attain their role in polyherbal formulation so as to have synergistic role. Hence
we conclude that the polyherbal formulation of Shampoo is effective in reducing dandruff
without irritation, less adverse effect and better conditioning effect. The awareness and need for
cosmetics with herbs in on the rise, as it is strongly believed that these products are safe and
free from side effects. For the treatment of dandruff we have both synthetic and natural herbal
shampoos. But when compared to the chemical based shampoos, herbal based shampoos are
more effective in terms of safety and ease of manufacturing and in the economic point of view
they are cheap .
