The study focuses on formulating and evaluating a herbal anti-dandruff shampoo using natural ingredients to ensure safety and efficacy while improving hair care performance. The shampoo incorporates extracts from various plants, including Aegle marmelos, Eclipta alba, and Hibiscus sabdariffa, among others. Evaluations based on physicochemical parameters showed that the shampoo has a dark brown color, satisfactory foam stability, effective cleansing ability, low surface tension, optimal pH, and good conditioning properties. These results suggest that the herbal shampoo is suitable for daily use, although further studies are needed to confirm its long-term safety and stability.
