Özet

Objectives: Shampoo is the most frequently used cosmetic product. Given the importance placed on cleanliness for hair health and the increasing importance placed on hair beauty and care, it is evident that synthetic shampoos damage hair when used regularly. In this context, the objective was to produce a natural shampoo and conduct antimicrobial analysis using Urtica dioica (nettle), wheat germ oil, Rosa damascena Mill (Isparta rose), and Allium sativum (garlic). Material and Methods: All necessary processes, including formulation design, characterization, and final product tests, were carried out within the scope of the study until the product was packaged and became the final product. Physicochemical tests (pH, viscosity, dandruff effect, microbiological tests) and stability tests (color, odor, appearance, and pH control) were performed on the developed formulation. Results: The analysis revealed that the pH value of the formulations was approximately 5.5, which is suitable for the skin. The selected NI-S-7 exhibited high viscosity (26.43 ± 0.75), foaming index (250), and high cleaning efficiency among all formulations. This led to developing a shampoo containing active herbal ingredients that nourish and repair hair. Furthermore, the microbiological analysis of the resulting formulation product was conducted and found to comply with the established limit values. Conclusion: The transformation of agricultural products into commercial products has the potential to bolster the economy. The shampoo in development will be derived from naturally sourced plants cultivated in Turkey and utilized for medical conditions with an aromatherapeutic effect while preserving the typical scent of the rose plant.
