Development and Assessment of Herbal Hair Oil: Oil for Comprehensive Hair Care

Herbal hair oils have become increasingly popular in the personal care sector due to their natural composition, therapeutic effects, and reduced risk of adverse reactions. This research aims to develop and evaluate a herbal hair oil formulated with plant-derived ingredients known to support hair health. Selected herbs such as Amla (Emblica officinalis), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), and Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) were incorporated for their nourishing, antimicrobial, and scalp-revitalizing properties. The formulation process focused on optimizing the ratios of these herbal extracts within a suitable carrier oil to achieve both product stability and enhanced efficacy. Key physicochemical parameters—including pH, viscosity, and emulsion stability—were measured to ensure formulation quality. In vitro tests were carried out to assess the oil’s ability to minimize hair loss, promote scalp wellness, and improve hair texture. Additionally, sensory evaluation offered valuable feedback on attributes such as fragrance, consistency, and user experience. The outcomes of this study could contribute to advancements in the development of herbal cosmetic products.
