Development and Evaluation of Herbal Shampoo as an Antifungal Formulation

The study developed an herbal shampoo using tea, ashwagandha, sandalwood, and Nagarmotha, aiming to replace synthetic chemicals with natural ones. The shampoo was evaluated through various physicochemical tests, including pH, detergency, dirt dispersion, foam determination, viscosity, stability, and antimicrobial activity. Results showed that the herbal shampoo had good cleansing properties and effectively controlled the growth of Candida and Malassezia fungi.
