Abstract
Shampooing is one of the most common forms of hair treatment, primarily cleansing the hair and scalp. Herbal
shampoo is a natural haircare product used to remove grease, dirt and dandruff, promote growth, and strengthen the
hair. This study aims to formulate a shampoo containing herbal extract that can be an alternative to chemical-based
shampoo and may also show better safety. Aqueous extract of stem bark of Grewia serrulata DC. belonging to the
family Tiliaceae which is highly mucilaginous in nature was used as the main ingredient in the formulated herbal
shampoo. The main objective of the study was to prepare herbal shampoo incorporating the herbal constituent base
and evaluate the herbal shampoo for cosmetic purposes.
