TLDR The herbal shampoo effectively treats dandruff without harmful side effects.

The study focused on developing a polyherbal antidandruff shampoo using a natural herbal tincture to address dandruff, a common scalp issue caused by the yeast Pittosporum. Traditional antidandruff products often lead to adverse effects like hair loss and irritation. The formulated shampoo was evaluated based on parameters such as pH, consistency, and antimicrobial activity. The results showed that the shampoo had a strong antimicrobial effect, as evidenced by the significant zone of inhibition, indicating its effectiveness in treating dandruff safely.
