Abstract: Herbal shampoos have gained significant popularity due to the growing consumer preference for natural, eco-friendly, and chemical-free personal care products. This review discusses the formulation, evaluation, and future scope of herbal shampoos, emphasizing their natural ingredients, such as neem, amla, aloe vera, hibiscus, and various essential oils. The primary benefits of herbal shampoos include nourishment of hair, suitability for sensitive scalps, and reduced hair damage, which promote long-term hair health. Moreover, they provide a gentler alternative to chemical-based shampoos, with the added advantage of being environmentally friendly and free from harmful chemicals like sulfates and parabens. The herbal ingredients also offer therapeutic effects, including anti-dandruff, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties. However, the use of herbal shampoos comes with some challenges, including higher costs, slower results, and potential limitations in effectiveness for specific hair types. Additionally, herbal shampoos may have a shorter shelf life and require careful preservation methods. Despite these drawbacks, the rising demand for organic and sustainable beauty products, coupled with the increasing popularity of Ayurveda and traditional knowledge, presents promising opportunities for the growth of herbal shampoos in emerging markets. Future advancements in customization, packaging sustainability, and formulation improvements will further enhance the appeal of herbal shampoos in the global personal care market.
