 ABSTRACT

The shampoo sector is probably the largest unit sale among the hair care products since
shampoos are one of the cosmetic products used in daily life. Synthetic preservatives and
detergents have sometimes been the cause of adverse effects among consumers. A more radical
approach in reducing the synthetic ingredients is by incorporating natural extract whose
functionality is comparable with their synthetic ingredients. A shampoo is a cleaning aid for the
hair and is counted among the foremost beauty products. Today’s shampoo formulations are
beyond the stage of pure cleaning of the hair. Additional benefits are expected, e.g.,
conditioning, smoothing of the hair surface, good health of hair, i.e., hair free of dandruff, dirt,
grease and lice and, above all, its safety benefits are expected. As the scalp is one of the most
absorbent part of the body, products applied to the scalp go directly to the blood, without being
filtered in any way. In the scenario of changing food habits, stress level and dependent
environment conditions, number of skin and hair disorders are encountered. This herbal shampoo
was formulated using natural ingredient like Fenugreek seeds), Acacia concinna (shikakai),
Sapindus mukorossi (reetha), Ocimum sanctum (tulsi), Aloe vera (aloe), Hibiscus rosa sinensis
(china rose), Embelica officinalis (amla), Lawsonia inermis (henna),Citrus lemon (lemon), with
proven efficacy of hair care preparation is prepared. The combination of several such ingredient
of herbal origin has made it possible to secure highly effective dry powder shampoo. The
formulation at laboratory scale was done and evaluated for number of parameters to ensure its
safety and efficacy.

HAIR

V.M.S College of Pharmacy Page 9

  Hair is the integral part of human beauty
 Hair is protein filament that grows from follicles on the dermis or skin.
 Scientific is a component of the integumentary system and extends downward into a
dermal layer where it sits in the hair follicle.
 Hair present on head part is related to the beauty, also it provide protection of scalp
from any external injury and UV rays whereas, eyebrows and eyelashes protects eyes
from external foreign particles.
 Toule receptors which are associated with hair follicle which are activated when hair is
moved slightly. So therefore, the hairs function in sensing light touch.

ANATOMY OF HAIR:
The hairs is composed of column of dead keratinized epidermal cells which are bonded by
proteins. The hair shaft is superficial portion of hair, which projects above surface of skin. The
root is portion of hair deep to shaft which penetrates into the dermis and shaft. The shaft and
root of the hair consists of 3 layers of cells

LAYERS OF HAIR
MEDULLA CORTEX CUTICLE

 Middle cortex forms the major part Inner medulla is composed of 2-3 rows of cells which
contains pigment in dark hair and if pigment is less than it is gray hair

 Middle Cortex is the major part of shaft and has elongated cells.

 Cuticle of hairs, the outermost layer has single layer of thin, flat cells which has high
keratin.

At surrounding the root hair is hair follicle which are made up of external sheath and
internal root sheath. Both external & internal root shaft are collectively known as Epithelial root
sheath. The dense dermis surrounding the hair follicle is called Dermal rooth sheath .The hair

FIGURE.3 BASIC HAIR ISSUES

VARIOUS PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH HAIRS: -

There are various problems related with hair health and they are discussed as following: -

1.HAIR LOSS: - Here there is the hair loss or fall from the scalp. This hair loss can occur due to
various factors like stress, health issues, intake of various medicines or by using excess or
harmful cosmetic products.

INTRODUCTION ABOUT SHAMPOO:

V.M.S College of Pharmacy Page 13

 A liquid or cream preparation of soap or detergent to wash the hair is called as shampoo.
Shampoo are the cosmetics preparations which are prepared for the cleansing of dirt and debris
from the hair scalp. The shampoo generates its action by creating the foam. The additional
functions of shampoo are Hair growth and enhancement, hair conditioning, for dandruff
removal and many more. Shampoo are meant for the massage of head and scalp. This concept
was introduced by Britain and its was derived as ‘CHAMPOO’. Before the evolution of the
shampoo people were using the soaps for their personal care.

In the present scenario, it seems improbable that herbal shampoo, although

better in performance and safer than the synthetic ones, will be popular with the consumers. A
more radical approach in popularizing herbal shampoo would be to change the consumer
expectations from a shampoo, with emphasis on safety and efficacy. The word shampoo in
English is derived from Hindustani shampoo. Shampoos are typically composed of 10 to 30
ingredients.

HISTORY OF SHAMPOO:
In Indian subcontinents, a wide variety of herbs were extracted to prepare the shampoo. In
early days the effective shampoos were prepared by the use of Gooseberry i.e. Amla and the
Sapindus which is called as soapnut.

It contains the fruit pulp which contain the secondary metabolite Saponin which act as
a Natural surfactant.

The Soapberries make the hairs soft, shiny and silky. During the early days in Europe
the hair stylist was using soap and boiling it with water and also added herbs and various
fragrance. In India, the CHIK India the ‘’CHIK INDIA’’ in 1983. It was the first sachet shampoo
introduced in India.

Across India in many households Grandmother still follows various practice like
Drying the parts of medicinal plants like stems, roots, dried leaves etc. and then make the paste
to apply on the hairs.

V.M.S College of Pharmacy Page 16

There is the wide range of excipients used in shampoo formulation and they are as follows –

1.SURFACTANTS: - Surfactants are added in shampoo because they are capable in producing
the required quantity of foam.

There are 2 types of Surfactants i.e., ANIONIC AND CATIONIC surfactant. But in
formulation of shampoo the ANIONIC surfactant are preferred widely.

 ANIONIC SURFACTANT: - They have good foaming ability. In its structure the
Hydrophilic part has negative charge and which helps to produce the foam and clean the
dirt.

 CATIONIC SURAFACTANT: - They are Toxic in nature and hence are not used to
avoid the toxicity. But they are used in low concentration in the formulation of Hair
Conditioner.

2.CONDITIONING AGENTS: - This are added in shampoo to add the conditioning property to
the action of shampoo.

when comes in contact with scalp it helps to remove the Dirt and dandruff from the scalp .

V.M.S College of Pharmacy Page 17

 CLEANSING ACTION OF SHAMPOO:

During the preparation of shampoo, the Surfactant are added then this surfactant molecule
present in the shampoo has a Hydrophilic head and lipophilic tail in their structure. When we
apply the shampoo on the scalp or hair using water then it tends to produce the foam.

Here the hydrophilic end of surfactant molecule in in contact with water and lipophilic
tail is in contact with the oil, dirt and grease present on scalp area.

Then this molecule can form the micelle when they are used in high concentration. So, the dirt is

removed and cleansed when it is rinsed off using water.
