ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the formulation and development of anti-dandruff herbal paper soap, a novel, eco-friendly, and convenient personal care product. The paper soap incorporates natural ingredients known for their anti-dandruff properties, such as neem (Azadirachta indica), Lemon grass (citronella grass) combined with a biodegradable soap base. The formulation aims to address common scalp issues like dandruff and itching while ensuring safety, portability, and ease of use. The ingredients were selected based on their antimicrobial, antifungal, and soothing properties, and the soap base was optimized to allow uniform distribution of herbal extracts on a cellulose-based paper. The product was evaluated for physical characteristics, pH, antimicrobial activity, Paper chromatography and user acceptability. Results demonstrated that the herbal paper soap effectively reduced dandruff-causing fungi, maintained scalp health, and met consumer preferences for texture, fragrance, and biodegradability. This innovative approach offers a sustainable and effective solution for dandruff management while promoting the use of natural ingredients in personal care products.
