Abstract: Aim & Objective: The purpose of this study was to create and test a herbal shampoo with Ziziphus jujuba (ZJ) and find out how well it cleaned hair and what physicochemical characteristics it had.Background: Synthetic shampoos often contain harsh chemicals that can damage hair and the scalp.Herbal shampoos offer a gentler alternative, and Ziziphus jujuba has been traditionally used for its potential hair-beneficial properties. Materials and Methods:The fruit extract from Ziziphus jujuba was used to create herbal shampoo formulations.Viscosity, foamability, stability, pH, and hair-cleaning qualities were among the factors that were assessed for the manufactured shampoos.Results: The physicochemical characteristics of the herbal shampoo formulations were deemed satisfactory.The pH was within the ideal range for hair, and the shampoo's foaming and cleaning properties were good. Conclusion:The study successfully formulated a herbal shampoo using Ziziphus jujuba fruit extract with promising physicochemical properties and haircleansing efficacy, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative to synthetic shampoos.
