The study formulated and evaluated a herbal hair growth serum with rosemary oil as the main active ingredient, alongside vitamin E, rose water, polysorbate 20, and propylene glycol. The serum exhibited satisfactory physicochemical properties, including a pH of 5.73, specific gravity of 0.9947, good spreadability, and a low microbial count of 0.5 CFU/mL. It showed a slightly translucent appearance with a characteristic odor. While the serum demonstrated promising characteristics for scalp and hair care, further studies are needed to assess its long-term stability and effectiveness in promoting hair growth.
