June 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study focuses on the formulation and characterization of a herbal-based antidandruff shampoo using traditional herbs like neem, fenugreek seed, aloe vera, and clove, known for their therapeutic and antimicrobial properties. The shampoo's effectiveness was evaluated through phytochemical screenings and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), confirming the presence of bioactive compounds. Two shampoo formulations were tested for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur, using the agar well diffusion method. The study analyzed parameters such as pH, foaming agents, solid content, and organoleptic properties to ensure stability and user acceptance. The findings suggest that the herbal antidandruff shampoo is a promising natural alternative for addressing dandruff and improving scalp health.
