Formulation Evaluation Poly-Herbal Shampoo Powder Hair Dye

Abstract

In this study, we present the development and evaluation of an Polyherbal shampoo powder infused with natural dyes. The formulation incorporates a synergistic blend of botanical ingredients including indigo, Bhringraj, Beetroot, Methi, Neem, Shikakai, Reetha, Brahmi, Amla, Henna, and Bahera. The primary objective of this project is to create a natural alternative to conventional shampoos, utilizing the inherent properties of these botanicals to cleanse, nourish, and enhance hair health. Indigo, Beetroot, and henna are included for their traditionally recognized benefits in promoting hair growth and preventing premature graying & serves as a natural dye, imparting a subtle hue to the hair without the harshness of synthetic colourants. Methi and neem contribute antibacterial and antifungal properties, while Reetha and shikakai acts as a gentle cleanser. Brahmi, bhringraj and Amla are known for their hair-strengthening and conditioning effects, enhancing overall hair texture and shine. Bahera further complement the formulation with their conditioning and nourishing properties.
