📄 Abstract
The increasing consumer demand for natural and chemical-free hair care products has led to the exploration of plant-based alternatives with proven therapeutic benefits. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal hair serum using Hibiscus extract, Vitamin E, Rose extract, and Tea extract, all known for their hair-nourishing and scalp-soothing properties. Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is widely recognized for promoting hair growth, strengthening roots, and preventing hair fall due to its rich content of amino acids, flavonoids, and mucilage. Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, helps improve scalp circulation and reduces oxidative stress, thereby promoting healthier hair. Rose extract provides hydration, imparts a pleasant fragrance, and soothes the scalp, while tea extract (particularly green tea) is rich in catechins that reduce dandruff and stimulate hair follicles. The herbal serum was prepared by blending the extracts in a suitable base and evaluated for various physicochemical parameters including pH, viscosity, spreadability, stability, and organoleptic properties. Additionally, preliminary user-based studies and irritancy tests were conducted to assess the acceptability and safety of the formulation. The results demonstrated that the serum possessed excellent aesthetic and physicochemical properties, with no signs of irritation or discomfort upon topical application. The combination of natural ingredients worked synergistically to improve hair texture, reduce frizz, and enhance shine. In conclusion, the formulated herbal hair serum offers a safe, effective, and natural alternative to synthetic hair care products, supporting the use of plant-based ingredients in modern cosmetic formulations.
