Abstract

The demand for natural and safe hair dye alternatives has led to the development of polyherbal hair dye creams formulated from plantbased ingredients. This study explores the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal hair dye cream using natural extracts from Henna (Lawsonia inermis), Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria), Amla (Emblica officinalis), Bhringraj (Eclipta alba), and Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosasinensis). These herbs are known for their natural coloring, conditioning, and scalp-nourishing properties. The formulation involves the extraction of active phytochemicals and their incorporation into a cream base to ensure easy application, uniform color deposition, and improved hair health. The product is evaluated for color stability, pH, viscosity, skin sensitivity, and efficacy in gray hair coverage. The results indicate that the polyherbal hair dye cream provides a safe, chemical-free, and effective alternative to synthetic dyes while offering additional benefits such as scalp nourishment, hair strengthening, and reduced hair damage. This study concludes that polyherbal hair dye creams have significant potential in the cosmetic industry, catering to the growing preference for herbal, non-toxic, and sustainable hair care solutions.
