Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Hair Mask

The study formulated and evaluated a herbal hair mask using natural ingredients like flaxseed, fenugreek, aloe vera, and hibiscus, known for their nourishing and hair growth-promoting properties. Two formulations (F1 and F2) were developed, incorporating Carbopol 940, glycerin, sodium benzoate, and triethanolamine. These formulations were assessed for organoleptic properties, pH, spreadability, stability, and skin irritation. The results showed a pleasant odor, smooth texture, and suitable pH for scalp application, with no significant changes under various storage conditions, indicating good stability. The skin irritation test confirmed the formulation was non-irritant and safe for topical use. The herbal hair mask demonstrated effective conditioning, moisturizing, and potential anti-dandruff and hair-strengthening properties, concluding it as a safe, stable, and effective natural alternative for maintaining healthy hair.
