Abstract
The main objective of this study is to evaluate and formulate a herbal shampoo formulation. Shapmoo is one of the product used in daily life. Synthetic preservatives and detergents have sometimes being the cause of adverse effects among consumers. A more medical approach in reducing and replacing the synthetic ingredients is by incorporating natural ingredients whose functionality is comparable with their synthetic ingredients. The ingredients used in the herbal shampoo are 4% Reetha powder, 5% Shikakai powder Aloevera, Amla, 10% 4% Rose oil, 20% gelatin 1% Lemon juice. A mixture then prepared by mixing with heating each other and evaluated for its organoleptic and physic-chemical characteristics and performance tests in terms of pH, surface tension, foam stability and viscosity tests. The combination of several such ingredient of herbal origin has made it possible to design a highly effective shampoo formulation at laboratory scale and evaluated for some number of parameters e.g pH, surface tension, foam stability and viscosity to ensure its stable safety and efficacy. The formulated proportions of herbal ingredients of shampoo was clear brown colour with demonstrated good forth stability, detergency, cleansing property. The physico-chemical evaluation of the formulated shampoo showed ideal results. However, it sustained improved quality, product performance, and safety.

The attractiveness of shampoos for consumers tends to be judged visually to observe clarity, colour, odour it shows physical appearance of the formulation. Physical appearance of the produced shampoo is found as clear, brown in colour, aromatic odour and Smooth appearance (

[27]
The pH levels of the shampoo tested in 1% and 10% solutions were evaluated using a pH meter at a room temperature of 25±2°C. The final product was measured in range 6.13±6.76. Result of image is shown in

[28]
The cylinder shake method is the most widely used method for determining foaming ability. At room temperature, 50 ml of of the shampoo solution was filled into a 250 ml graduated cylinder, which was then covered by hand and shaken ten times. The total volume of the foam content after 60 sec of shaking was recorded. The height of the foam generated was measured immediately. To evaluate foam stability, the same procedure was performed and the foam volume after 20 min was measured.

[29]
In this method, stalagmometer is used by drop weight method. Surface tension measures the strength of the cohesive forces of liquids. For example, water has strong cohesive forces, so surface tension is more (
Table 4). Surface tension is determined for the cleansing and nourishing shampoo as 35-40 dynes/cm which is less than water 72 dynes/cm.
3.3.5. Skin Irritation Test Prepared polyhebral cleansing and nourishing shampoo was applied on skin for 5 minutes after washed and test for irritation or inflammation on the skin (

The stability studies for the herbal formulations were performed according to ICH guidelines. The formulations were tested for 6 months without any change in its evaluation results, which can be an altimate proof of absence of micro organisms. Physical appearance, surface tension, foam stability and pH determination performed during 6 months. Stii product remained unchanged. The evaluation test results with images for formulated shampoo are given in
Table 4.
4. Conclusion
The herbal shampoos are the preparations which are used for the washing and cleaning of hairs and to provide nourishment. The herbal shampoos are widely used due to their no or less side effects as compared to conventional shampoos, because it contains pure natural or herbal ingredients rather than synthetic chemicals. Herbal shampoo does not require animal testing and it is earth and skin friendly. The herbal liquid shampoo was formulated by using the various herbal ingredients with 5% of Amla, Shikakai, Aloevera, 4% roseoil, 10% Reetha, Gelatin 20%, and lemon juice 1%. From the overall results showed neutral pH, nonirritant to the skin. Foam stability 5 mints, Surface tension is between 35-40 dynes /cm. Evaluation studies showed good results of appearance, wash ability, non-irritant to the skin, foam stability, dirt dispersion activity as on skin spreade well without giving feeling presence of any gritty particles, anti-microbial activity as shown null reaction skin after application, Rheological/surface tension tests. The formulation of a cleansing and nourishing shampoo requires attention to detail in ingredient selection, formulation, and testing. A good shampoo should balance effective cleansing with gentle nourishment, leaving the hair feeling clean, soft, and healthy after each wash. Regular evaluation ensures that the product maintains its effectiveness and safety throughout its stability period of 3 weeks. Though the designed product is neutral in nature, and is dark brown in colour product will be compatible with the glass and plastic bottle as a container of packaging with beautiful design.
5. Future Scope
In present scenario industries and researchers are trying to formulate having a better performing shampoo to challenge comnsumer expectation with emphasis on safty, efficacy along with reasonable cost preferably using herbal ingredi-ents which brings such formulations being demanding every day in era. We tried our level best to formulate a herbal nourishing shampoo to avoid any conflict of intrest and de-clare any personal or professional intrest to any patient who may be affected. We are thankful to the Herb dealer in Rai-pur to provide us all crude products used in the work. In vivo test must be performed. Change in concentration of all herbal ingredients may enhance the efficiency with low cost designed product. Today’s world has number of cosmetics products still people take interest to change their usually usable cosmetic product according to many factors like skin type, cost expenses, region, age, life style, living style and many more. So countless products has enhanced demands for formulation.
