Abstract

The increasing popularity of natural and eco-friendly haircare products has led to a greater use of traditional ingredients in the development of cosmetic products. This study aimed to create and assess a conditioner made from liquorice extract, flaxseed extract, curry leaves extract, coconut oil, glycerine, and rose water. The conditioner was made using these natural extracts combined with appropriate preservatives to enhance its stability. The main goal of the research was to produce a natural hair conditioner that can improve hair smoothness, shine, moisture retention, and manageability, while reducing the harmful effects often linked to synthetic products. The formulated conditioner was tested for its physical characteristics, ease of washing, pH level, viscosity, potential for irritation, and overall stability. The herbal components provided various benefits, including strengthening hair, improving moisture levels, reducing dandruff, and enhancing conditioning. The study concludes that herbal hair conditioners can be a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional synthetic conditioners for maintaining healthy and easy-to-manage hair.
