Formulation

The primary emulsion method was used to prepare the herbal shampoo. To create the extract whose
formula is presented in Table-2, the plant extracts were combined in various ratios. Oil, water, and gum
are distributed in a 4:2:1 ratio. Castor oil and plant methanolic extracts were used to make the oil. The
water component was made up of glycerine, methyl paraben, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400.
Tragacanth and acacia were utilized as the gum to create the oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion. PEG 400 and
glycerine were used to increase the final amount to 100 ml. Finally, a sufficient amount of 1% citric acid
solution was added to the mixture to change the pH. A few drops of essential oil were also infused to
the prepared shampoo to provide it aroma. In Table 3, the composition formula is provided.
