The study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal shampoo using extracts from medicinal plants like Reetha, Fenugreek, and Nagarmotha, along with other natural ingredients. The shampoo demonstrated good physicochemical properties, including a pH of 7.0, 25% solids, and a surface tension of 33.50 dynes/cm. It produced dense foam with a volume of 40 ml and exhibited high foam stability, effective dirt dispersion, and satisfactory washing capacity. The shampoo is characterized by its pleasant smell and transparency. The study concludes that the polyherbal shampoo is a safe and effective herbal hair cleanser, with further research suggested for its stability, antibacterial activity, and long-term safety to support potential commercialization.
