Abstract

The main objective of the present article is to avoid the adverse effects associated with the existing synthetic shampoo by formulating a herbal shampoo for the treatment of dandruff. Malassezia furfur is the fungus that is naturally seen on the skin surface of humans and is associated with seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis and atopic dermatitis. Shampoos are used to remove the oil, dirt, skin particles, dandruff, and other contaminant particle that usually build up in hair which are responsible for dandruff. The major drawback of the presently available potent synthetic drugs lies in their toxicity and reappearance of symptoms after discontinuation. An herbal shampoo was prepared by using Rosemary oil which has anti-fungistatic activity and also a definite scalp stimulator and in combination with the thyme oil, hibiscus, tulasi, will reduce inflammation and promote the growth of hair by promoting soothing effect and supply nutrients to the hair follicle.
