Herbal Shampoo Tablet: Benefits, Preparation and Evaluation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim: In the contemporary era, there is a growing preference for natural and herbal alternatives due to their
renewability, minimal adverse effects, and cost-effectiveness. This novel work aims to prepare and evaluate
an environmentally conscious herbal shampoo in tablet form. This pioneering endeavor by the formulator
seeks to create an essential cosmetic product for hair hygiene and attractiveness using natural ingredients.
Material and Methods: Two formulations, F1 and F2, were developed with varying concentrations of
ingredients to incorporate desired properties such as cosmetic enhancement, hair conditioning, stimulation,
antimicrobial action, and hair growth promotion. The shampoo tablets were prepared using the direct compression
method and subjected to a battery of tests, including particle size analysis, flow property assessment (angle of
repose, bulk density, tapped density, Hausner ratio, Carr’s index), and physicochemical evaluation (hardness,
pH determination, loss on drying, swelling index, wetting time, dirt dispersion, foaming ability, and foam
stability). Results: The conditioning performance evaluation aimed to ensure that the shampoo tablets maintain
environmental sustainability by posing no harm to soil or atmosphere after use. Conclusion: Both formulations
exhibit promising characteristics for further investigation.
