Abstract Banana has a massive scope of nutritional value, health effects and potential benefits which are important in maintaining good health. The concoction of its flower or blossom has potential as an essential wild food and medicinal plant which contains numerous beneficial effects to the body’s health and is effective in treating and preventing several types of diseases. The study aspires to find a natural anti-dandruff agent or cosmetic product made from plant-based herbs alternative to synthetic shampoo. This was conducted in order to produce an effect by using the ethanolic crude extract of banana blossom. The study employed Phytochemical screening to identify bio-active compounds with potential medicinal and nutritional property present in the plant sample. However, High Performance Liquid Chromatography was utilized to analyze the phytochemical composition of the plant extract to determine the secondary metabolite present such as quercetin as flavonoid and Gallic acid as phenolic acid. Additionally, Disc diffusion method was conducted to determine the anti-fungal activity of the ethanolic crude extract of banana blossom against two fungal pathogens. Moreover, the formulated anti-dandruff shampoo was compared to commercially available anti-dandruff shampoo and evaluated in terms of physical or visual appearance, pH value, dirt dispersion, wetting time, foam formation and solid contents. The study highlights the potential of banana blossom extract as a key ingredient in herbal shampoos, offering a safer alternative to synthetic formulations.
