ABSTRACT

The present study was aimed to formulate an herbal shampoo powder. It is safe as compared to synthetic marketed products. Herbal shampoo powders were accurately weighed and passed through sieve no.100. It is prepared by mixing in their ascending order of quantities with continuous trituration. Later on, it was stored in air tight containers and used for further studies. All four formulations (F1-F4) were subjected to organoleptic studies, general powder characteristics, physicochemical evaluation, ash and alcohol soluble extractives, moisture content determination, pH determination, cleaning action, foaming capacities, dirt dispersion, wetting time and studies on nature of hair after wash. All four formulations (F1-F4) offered a suitable practical approach and achieved a better usage. General powder characteristics showed results in specified limits. Physicochemical evaluations, pH determination, ability to remove grease, foaming capacity, dirt dispersion, wetting time and nature of their hair wash were found to yield satisfactory results for F2 formulation. The present work confirmed the successful preparation of herbal shampoo powders by mixing method. Among all the four formulations (F1-F4) F2 yield satisfactory results.
