Abstract

Dandruff is a common scalp disorder characterized by flaking, itching, and irritation, often associated with fungal growth and excessive sebum production. The increasing concern over the adverse effects of synthetic hair care products has led to a growing demand for safer, plant-based alternatives. The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal anti-dandruff shampoo using selected medicinal plant extracts known for their antifungal, antimicrobial, and soothing properties. Herbal ingredients such as neem (Azadirachta indica), aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), and hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) were incorporated along with suitable excipients to develop an effective and stable formulation.

The shampoo was prepared using mild surfactants and evaluated for physicochemical parameters including appearance, pH, viscosity, foamability, foam stability, detergency, wetting time, surface tension, and conditioning performance. Stability studies were conducted under different storage conditions to assess formulation integrity over time. The results indicated that the formulated shampoo exhibited acceptable viscosity, good foaming ability, efficient cleansing action, and a pH compatible with scalp conditions. The formulation also showed no signs of irritation and remained stable without phase separation.
