Abstract

Herbal powder shampoos have gained popularity as natural alternatives to chemical-based hair cleansers. They offer nourishment and cleansing without harmful additives. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of three herbal powder shampoo variants, each composed of carefully selected botanical ingredients known for their beneficial effects on hair health. The key ingredients include “Hibiscus, Amla, Reetha, Shikakai, Flaxseed, Henna, Rosemary, and Rose Petals”. Each ingredient contributes unique properties such as cleansing, conditioning, strengthening, and promoting hair growth. Hibiscus enhances shine and reduces hair fall, Amla is rich in antioxidants, Reetha provides natural cleansing, and Shikakai aids scalp health. Flaxseeds retain moisture, Henna conditions hair, Rosemary stimulates growth, and Rose Petals offer a soothing fragrance. The study involves preparation, phytochemical screening, and evaluation of the formulated shampoo in terms of pH, foaming capacity, solubility, washability and stability.The formulations differ slightly in ingredient proportions to optimize effectiveness for different hair types and concerns. Formulation 1 focuses on balanced cleansing and conditioning. Formulation 2 enhances cleansing properties, and Formulation 3 emphasizes scalp nourishment and hair strengthening. While Formulation 3 has the highest cleansing power due to increased Reetha and Amla, its lower conditioning agents make it less suitable for dry or normal hair. In contrast, Formulation 1 offers a balanced mix of cleansing and hydration, making it ideal for most hair types. Therefore, Formulation 1 is considered the best for maintaining scalp health and hair softness, while Formulation 3 is better suited for oily hair.
