Abstract Abstract
The demand for natural and safe personal care products has led to the development of herbal alternatives for hair removal. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal hair removal powder using plant-based ingredients known for their depilatory and skin-nourishing properties. The selected ingredients include Harita Manjari (Acalypha indica), Papaya (Carica papaya), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), Sandalwood (Santalum album), Rose (Rosa rugosa), Ponnatharam (a mineral-based component), Camel milk, and Rice flour. These natural components have been traditionally used for hair removal, skin brightening, and soothing effects.
The formulation was developed by blending powdered forms of these ingredients and was evaluated based on organoleptic, physicochemical, phytochemical, and rheological properties. Various tests, including pH measurement, ash value determination, loss on drying, and phytochemical analysis, were conducted to assess the quality and effectiveness of the formulation. The results indicated that the prepared herbal hair removal powder exhibited good depilatory action, skin compatibility, and ease of application while minimizing irritation.
This research highlights the potential of herbal alternatives to replace chemical-based hair removal products, which often cause skin irritation and other adverse effects. The findings support the growing trend of natural cosmetic formulations, promoting safer and more sustainable skincare options. Further studies and optimizations can enhance the product’s efficacy, ensuring a broader consumer acceptance.
