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.
