Studysummary In this study, researchers developed and tested a polyherbal dry powder shampoo using natural ingredients like Neem and Aloe vera, reporting good foaming ability, appropriate pH, no skin irritation, and stability, suggesting it as a safe and affordable alternative to synthetic shampoos. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The study focuses on developing a polyherbal dry powder shampoo using natural ingredients such as Neem, Aloe vera, and others, to address hair issues caused by synthetic products. Three formulations (S1, S2, S3) were created and evaluated for physicochemical properties, including foaming ability, pH, and skin irritation. The results showed that the formulations had good foaming ability, a suitable pH of 5–6, were easy to wash out, and caused no skin irritation. The formulations remained stable throughout the trial, suggesting that this natural shampoo is an effective, safe, and affordable alternative to synthetic shampoos for maintaining healthy hair.
