This study developed a shampoo bar using Moringa oleifera leaf extract, aiming to offer a natural and eco-friendly alternative to liquid shampoos. The bar was formulated with coconut, olive, and castor oils, and scented with lavender and tea tree essential oils. Moringa extract, added to preserve its bioactive compounds, may help prevent hair loss. The shampoo bar had a safe pH (5.5–6.5), caused no irritation, and was well-received by 25 respondents, with 64% liking it and 12% highly satisfied. Its solid form reduces plastic use, supporting sustainability.
