Abstract

Background: Shampoo is a specialised cleansing formulation designed for hair care, effectively removing impurities from the hair and scalp while enhancing manageability and promoting a healthy appearance. Paper shampoo was chosen as a solid formulation that is practical, lightweight, and easy to carry and use anywhere. Aloe vera extract was selected for its soothing and scalp-friendly properties, while the strawberry aroma was chosen to provide a refreshing experience when used.

Objective: This research aimed to determine the formulation of aloe vera extract as a shampoo preparation.

Method: This study employed an experimental method, involving the extraction of Aloe vera, followed by the formulation of shampoo with concentrations of 4%, 7.5%, and 8.5%. Tests on the preparations included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, and foam height.  

Result: The organoleptic evaluation indicated that the formulation exhibited a brown colouration, a characteristic aloe vera scent, and a semi-solid consistency. The homogeneity analysis confirmed that all shampoo formulations were uniform in composition. The pH values were 5.81, 5.46, and 5.7 for F1, F2, and F3, respectively. The foam stability test values were 81.81%, 90.9%, and 97.45% for F1, F2, and F3, respectively.

Conclusion: Aloe vera extract can be effectively formulated into a shampoo preparation.
