Development of shampoo from mixture of Hibiscus Rosa-Sinesis [pokok bunga raya] and Ocimum Basilicium [pokok selasih] extract / Syauqina Najwa Salemin

The shampoo is developed by using the extraction of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (pokok bunga raya) and Ocimum basilicum (pokok selasih). This study is conducted as a result of the widespread marketing of chemical shampoos to consumers. Although this chemical shampoo might aid in the treatment of hair problems, it has a number of negative side effects on both its users and the environment. To address this issue, organic herbal shampoo has been created. Dandruff and hair fall has been identified as the most common issues that people experience. The methanolic extracts of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and Ocimum basilicum will be studied in this investigation since they both have antibacterial activities. This studies examined the effectiveness of this extracts against Escherichia Coli (E. Coli) and Bacillus licheniformis (B. Lichen) by using Kirby-Bauer methods. Both agar plates for each bacteria gives good results. The extracts have the ability to inhibit the growth of the bacteria by showing good inhibition zone diameter. Zone of inhibition of the extracts with low, medium and high concentration for E. Coli are 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm. Meanwhile, inhibition zone for B. Lichen are 7 mm, 11 mm and 12 mm respectively. This demonstrates that every extract have antibacterial agents such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and tannins as their compounds. This has demonstrated the possibility of creating shampoo from natural sources like Ocimum basilicum and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis to treat dandruff and hair loss.
