Abstract

Introduction

Nowadays, most people are suffering from dandruff which when not treated becomes flaky and causes major damage to the scalp of a person. Dandruff is a common scalp illness caused by the yeast Pittosporum. It is not possible to completely eradicate dandruff; it can only be appropriately handled.

Methods

When used as indicated, a shampoo's surfactant, often referred to as a surface-active agent, in its proper form-liquid, solid, or powder-will safely remove skin fragments, dirt, and surface oil from the scalp and hair shaft. Numerous hair care solutions use a variety of anti-fungal substances to treat dandruff. Many adverse reactions to these products have been reported, including hair loss, heightened headache, nausea, scaling, itching, and irritation.

Results

Thus, an attempt was undertaken to develop a herbal anti-dandruff shampoo form safe and more successful in treating the dandruff problem by using a marketed herbal tincture. The anti-dandruff formulation was prepared by combining natural polyherbal tincture, and these tincture shows the different medicinal effects on hair.

Conclusion

A number of parameters, including visual observation, pH, consistency, particle percentage, filth dispersion, surface phenomena, and foaming content were used to assess the shampoo formulations. Also, the estimation of an anti-microbial activity by using the inoculation method. The greatest zone of inhibition demonstrated a strong antimicrobial effect for the formulation.
