    TLDR Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is effective and safe for use in herbal soaps and hair oils, promoting skin and hair health.
    The study investigates the use of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis in herbal soaps and medicated oils, revealing significant antimicrobial properties and benefits for skin and hair health. The soaps had acceptable pH levels (8-9) and quality comparable to commercial products. The herbal hair oil, which included ingredients like curry leaves, amla powder, and hibiscus flower, effectively promoted hair growth and treated dandruff. The formulations were found to be effective, non-irritating, and suitable for public use, suggesting potential medicinal applications for Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, though further research is recommended.
