Formulation and Evaluation of Poly-Hebal Hair Oil

The present study aimed to formulate and evaluate a polyherbal hair oil using natural herbs and oils possessing beneficial effects on hair growth and scalp health. The formulation was prepared using Amla, Fenugreek, Neem, Rosemary, Hibiscus, Curry Leaves, Coconut oil, Almond oil, and Castor oil. Three formulations (F1, F2, and F3) were prepared by varying the concentration of herbal ingredients. The prepared formulations were evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, acid value, stability study, and biological activities. Among all formulations, F2 showed better physicochemical properties, acceptable pH, moderate viscosity, pleasant odor, and good stability without phase separation. The formulation also exhibited anti-dandruff, anti-hair fall, antimicrobial, conditioning, and hair growth-promoting activities. Therefore, F2 was considered the optimized and stable formulation suitable for herbal hair care applications.
