Introduction to Local Plants for Cosmetics to Gen Z: Education on Formulating Pomade Preparations with Meniran Leaf Extract (Phyllanthus Niruri L) as a Hair Growth Stimulant

In this experimental study on rabbits, the authors concluded that a pomade containing 10% meniran leaf extract was an effective hair growth stimulant and could compete with a positive control, fulfilling the required pomade characteristics.

This study found that lotion containing ethanolic extract of Phyllanthus niruri and 1% menthol enhanced hair growth in white Wistar rats more than a formula without menthol, although not significantly.

In this laboratory study, the researchers reported that an ethnomedicinal hair growth formula from East Nusa Tenggara, incorporating Kemiri, Kembang sepatu, Beringin, Mangkokan, and Waru, demonstrated significant antioxidant activity and effectively stimulated hair growth, suggesting potential development as a natural cosmeceutical.

In this study, researchers developed an optimized formulation of a traditional ethnomedicinal recipe from East Nusa Tenggara, which demonstrated strong antioxidant activity and significantly enhanced hair growth in a mouse alopecia model, compared to control groups.

This study evaluated formulations of a nanoemulsion with mangkokan leaves extract and candlenut oil, predicting its effectiveness for enhancing hair growth in male Sprague Dawley rats, with nanoemulsions showing assumed stable physical characteristics after two weeks.
