Review on Semisolid Herbal Hair Gel
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly herbal formulas have been developed in response to the growing demand for natural and chemical-free hair care products. Using medicinal plants including aloe vera, amla, bhringraj, neem, and hibiscus—all of which are renowned for their therapeutic effects in hair nourishing and scalp health—this study focusses on the creation and assessment of a semisolid herbal hair gel. Glycerin was used to moisturize the gel, triethanolamine was used to alter the pH, and Carbopol 940 was used as a gelling agent. Physical characteristics, pH, viscosity, spreadability, stability, and antibacterial activity were assessed for the produced product. The findings demonstrated that the herbal hair gel has favorable qualities such smooth texture, easy washability, non-greasiness, and outstanding stability. The formula encourages the use of herbal and Ayurvedic cosmetics and provides a viable substitute for synthetic hair gels.
