Abstract

Nowadays, consumers are increasingly interested in herbal products for treating disease and maintaining beauty, especially hair care products. Hence, the idea of developing herbal products for hair care was developed. The aim of this study was to develop hair spa treatment products containing Tiliacora triandra, Litsea glutinosa, Ecliptae prostratae, Carthamus tinctorius, and Rhinacanthus nasutus extracts as active ingredients. The results showed that total phenolic and flavonoid contents of T. triandra leaf extract was significantly higher than those of the others (p<0.05). The anti-hair loss shampoo and conditioner were developed with 1.0, 1.0, 2.5, 2.5 and 5.0 percent of T. triandra,  L. glutinosa, E. prostratae, C. tinctorius, and R. nasutus leaf extracts, respectively. The developed anti-hair loss herbal shampoo and conditioner products for sensitive skin were formulated to be Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES), paraben, silicone and colorant free. Herbal shampoo and conditioner products had satisfied appearance, green color, pH scale ranges from 4 to 6 and also natural aroma scent. From sensory evaluation result (9-point hedonic scale) of herbal shampoo and conditioner products, the overall acceptance scores were 7.0±0.6 and 7.0±0.3, respectively. In addition, the stability of products was investigated by heat-cool cycles method. The results showed that phase separation was not observed in all products.
