    TLDR The shampoo bar with Aloe vera and cinnamon oil improved hair health and protected against fungi without causing skin irritation.
    The document describes a study on a transparent shampoo bar enhanced with high concentrations of Aloe vera gel and cinnamon oil, which was found to be beneficial for hair health. The shampoo bar contained fibers and oils that provided moisture and protection against fungal diseases. The study observed that increasing the concentrations of Aloe vera gel and cinnamon oil altered the pH value and color of the shampoo bar, but the oil composition did not affect its properties. The enhanced shampoo bar showed greater inhibitory effects on the fungi Phytophthora cinnamomi and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Participants generally favored all shampoo bar samples, with samples C, D, and E being particularly effective in removing scalp particles (referred to as "rhinoceros" in the document, which may be a typographical error), reducing hair loss, and exhibiting antimicrobial activity. These samples contained higher concentrations of Aloe vera gel, castor oil, and olive oil. The shampoo bars were also noted for their transparency and the absence of skin irritation in users. The addition of TEA (triethanolamine) and cinnamon oil to the shampoo bar resulted in the formation of gold-colored nanoparticles, which changed the color of the soap from white to gold.
