ABSTRACT:
A shampoo is a washing product that usually contains surfactants that safely remove oil, debris, and dead skin cells from the scalp and hair. Various anti-fungal compounds are used in traditional hair care treatments to cure dandruff. Nevertheless, these products frequently have unfavorable side effects such headaches, itching, nausea, increased scalp irritation, and hair loss. A herbal anti-dandruff shampoo was created with an emphasis on efficacy and safety to treat this problem. In order to make a mild yet effective dandruff treatment, this herbal composition combines natural substances like Shikakai, Marshmallow root, and Neem powder with necessary chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate and glycerin. This shampoo seeks to effectively reduce dandruff while lowering the possibility of side effects typically connected to chemical-based substitutes by utilizing the power of botanical extracts.
