TLDR Soapnut shampoo cleans hair naturally, promotes growth, reduces dandruff, and is gentle on the scalp.
The document explores the formulation and benefits of a natural shampoo made from soapnut, aloe vera, and amla fruit, designed to clean hair, promote growth, and reduce dandruff without the adverse effects of synthetic shampoos. Soapnut, rich in saponins, acts as a natural surfactant, providing gentle cleansing while preserving scalp oils. The shampoo is chemical-free, suitable for sensitive skin, environmentally friendly, and offers benefits like reducing hair loss and enhancing shine. The study evaluates the shampoo's cleansing, conditioning, and foaming properties, noting that higher soapnut concentrations improve cleansing but may cause dryness if overused. It emphasizes the advantages of natural ingredients over synthetic ones, despite challenges like seasonal variation of plant constituents and the need for preservatives.
