Preparation and Evaluation of Herbal Hair Growth Promoting Shampoo Formulation Containing Piper Betle and Psidium Guajava Leaves Extract

Five years ago, a study was conducted to develop an herbal hair growth promoting shampoo using Piper betle and Psidium guajava leaves extract due to their antioxidant properties. The antioxidant activity of the shampoo was determined using the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The results showed that the formulation FC3 exhibited the best antioxidant activity and was stable for 2 months. It also demonstrated better pH, foamability, dirt dispersion, and wettability. The study concluded that the herbal shampoo formulation containing P. betle and P. guajava leaves extract is beneficial for promoting hair growth and addressing many hair-related problems.
