Aqueous extracts of plants frequently used as shampoos in traditional culture are used as herbal shampoos. Use heat treatment to reduce protein or hair loss. Current research uses Shikakai, amla and other herbal extracts instead of cationic regulators to provide better results.

The main goal of this project is to create a durable and effective shampoo that does not contain synthetic ingredients that are often included in these formulas. We carry out extensive tests to evaluate the performance of the shampoos we produce as quality products. Scientific evaluation of shampoo formulation is compared to quality control evaluation, but all quality products require further scientific verification.
