Abstract

Polyherbal anti-dandruff shampoos are formulated using a blend of various herbs and natural ingredients to effectively treat dandruff and promote healthy hair. The Malassezia furfur fungus is a common cause of dandruff, which can be managed but not fully eliminated. These shampoos aim to clean the scalp, remove dandruff, and provide conditioning benefits without the use of harsh synthetic chemicals.Key herbs used in polyherbal anti-dandruff shampoos include curry leaves, fanugreek, flaxseed , rice water, brahmi, reetha, and aloe vera etc These herbs possess antimicrobial, antioxidant, and hair growth promoting properties. The formulations are evaluated for various parameters such as pH, viscosity, dirt dispersion, foaming ability, foam stability, and antimicrobial activity against dandruff-causing fungi.Polyherbal anti-dandruff shampoos provide a natural, safe, and effective alternative to conventional shampoos. They cater to the growing demand for holistic hair care solutions that prioritize the use of plant-based ingredients over synthetic chemicals. These shampoos offer a comprehensive approach to treat dandruff while nourishing and conditioning the hair and scalp.
