Formulation, Evaluation and Comparative Study of Polyherbal Shampoo with Marketed Synthetic Shampoo
Abstract
Shampoo is one of the most common form of taking care of hair for cleansing, remove dirt, grease and debris from the scalp. Polyherbal shampoos were prepared using extracts of Phyllanthus embilica L, Orange peel along with Lemon juice, Reetha powder in different concentrations. Visual assessment, pH, wetting time, detergency, foaming ability, viscosity, conditioning action were evaluated for formulated Polyherbal shampoo. The pH of shampoos produced with natural extracts is closer to the skin's pH of 5.0 to 6.0. The formulated shampoo has good rheological capabilities and is nearly identical to its marketed counterparts. The deeper areas of skin can be affected by synthetic surfactants like SLS, Span 20, and Tween 80, which can harm cell membranes. In our study powdered soapnut, sometimes called Reetha is used as natural detergent, the detergency percentage of F1 formulation was found to be 23.8%, which is satisfactory. Conditioning action of F1 and F2 formulation is found to be score 2.8 and 3, which is good while comparing with marketed shampoo. The manufactured shampoos were stable, unvarying, thicker and comparable as that of commercially marketed shampoos. The formulated polyherbal shampoos have consistent organoleptic properties, favourable pH, and good cleansing, detergency, conditioning, and foaming capabilities.
