Herbal formulations are increasingly favored over synthetic cosmetics due to their safety, efficacy, and eco-friendly nature. In this study, a polyherbal shampoo tablet was formulated and evaluated with Cyclea peltata as a key ingredient, along with other herbal constituents selected for their hair-care properties. The formulation aimed to overcome the drawbacks of conventional liquid shampoos, such as instability, bulkiness, and the environmental burden of plastic packaging, by adopting a green chemistry approach in the form of solid shampoo tablets. The shampoo tablet includes the powdered form of herbal ingredients such as Cyclea peltata (Indian moonseed), mango leaves, guava leaves, brahmi, bhringaraj, black myrobalan, shikakai, and reetha, having antidandruff as well as other hair benefits. Two powder formulations were prepared and screened for physicochemical and cleansing characteristics, from which the optimized batch was selected for direct compression into tablets. The prepared tablets were evaluated for physicochemical parameters, including hardness, friability. Results indicated that the formulation met acceptable quality standards, showed good foaming and cleansing ability, and maintained a pH compatible with scalp and hair. The polyherbal shampoo tablet demonstrated stability and ease of use, suggesting it as a convenient, sustainable, and effective alternative to conventional shampoos.
