Optimization And Performance Assessment Of Herbal Hair Coloring Agent Using Barleria Prionitis

The study focuses on developing and assessing a polyherbal hair dye using natural plant materials, particularly emphasizing the use of Barleria prionitis flower. The herbal dye, formulated with henna, hibiscus flower, amla fruit, beetroot, and Barleria prionitis flower powder, underwent various tests including organoleptic, physicochemical, safety, dyeing, and stability studies. The results demonstrated that the addition of Barleria prionitis enhanced color intensity, uniformity, and hair conditioning compared to formulations without it. The study concludes that this herbal hair dye is a safe, effective, and natural alternative to chemical dyes, with the potential to meet pharmacopoeial standards.
