Formulation and Evaluation of Polyherbal Oil

The study focused on creating and evaluating a polyherbal hair oil using plant materials like Hibiscus Rosa Sinesis, Aloe Barbadensis leaf, curry leaves, amla, and shikekai, with coconut oil as the base. The oil was tested for various parameters, including phytochemical properties, pH, viscosity, and stability, all of which were within acceptable limits. It demonstrated antimicrobial activity, reduced dandruff, and provided hair nutrition. The oil also showed antioxidant activity and passed a primary skin irritation test, indicating it promotes hair growth and reduces hair loss. The study highlights the growing preference for herbal formulations due to their safety and minimal side effects.
