Abstract

Objective: The main objective of this study was to the formulation containing polyherbal medicinal plants, which gives safety, and efficacy; rectify skin disease, scalp disorders and reducing the harmful effect from herbal anti-lice and dandruff shampoos for the treatment of Pediculosis capitis and Pityriasis capitis and to prevent hair fall.

Methods: The formulation of herbal shampoo with various herbal ingredients were dried, milled, sieved (120#) and mixed in geometrical order and evaluated their physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, particle characters, organoleptic properties, foaming index, skin irritation study, and Anti-lice activity were performed.

Results: The prepared poly herbal powdered shampoo (PHPS) exhibits that was freely soluble, particle 20-25 μm size range and free-flowing powder. Lest moisture content (2.5%), ash value, acid value and reduced surface tension of liquid are referred as an ideal candidate for foaming, anti-lice potential with no skin irritations.

Conclusion: Based on the evaluation parameters, the prepared powdered shampoo helps to remove hair grease, no hair fall and strengthen hair follicles. Preparation of PHPS formulation at laboratory scale and the compounding of several ingredients of herbal source have produced it possible to ensure safety, efficacy and secure highly effective PHPS.
