Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Hair Serum for Prevention of Premature Hair Greying

The study formulated and evaluated a herbal hair serum aimed at preventing premature hair greying, using ingredients like Amla, Curry Leaves, Bhringraj, and Mango Seed in a sesame oil base. The serum was tested for various properties, including phytochemical constituents, pH, viscosity, spreadability, skin irritation potential, microbial load, acid value, peroxide value, and antioxidant activity. The formulation showed promising results with an acceptable pH of 5.7, viscosity of 1000 cps, good spreadability, no skin irritation, and acceptable microbial limits. It also demonstrated antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 58.3 µg/mL, suggesting potential in delaying premature hair greying due to its antioxidant and scalp-protective properties.
