TLDR The herbal shampoo with neem, onion, and flaxseed oils effectively promotes hair health and is a stable, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic products.
This study developed and evaluated a herbal shampoo containing microencapsulated neem, onion, and flaxseed oils, aimed at promoting hair health and addressing issues like hair fall, dandruff, and scalp infections. Onion extract, rich in sulfur and antioxidants, enhances hair growth and scalp circulation, neem oil offers antibacterial and antifungal benefits, and flaxseed oil provides omega-3 fatty acids for hair strength and nourishment. The oils were microencapsulated to improve stability and incorporated into a shampoo, which met standard quality criteria for physicochemical parameters. The results suggest that this natural formulation is an effective, stable, and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic hair care products, with anti-hair fall, antifungal, and conditioning properties.
