MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048118 A) filed by Dr. B. Kavitha, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, on April 15, for 'polyherbal hair care compositions and their formulation for enhanced hair and scalp health.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. B. Kavitha.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The increasing demand for natural and safe cosmetic products has led to the exploration of herbal formulations as alternatives to synthetic hair care products. The present study focuses on the development, evaluation, and patentable potential of polyherbal hair care formulations, including herbal hair oil, shampoo, henna powder, hair dye, onion serum, and herbal soap. These formulations were prepared using plant-based ingredients such as coconut oil, amla, neem, hibiscus, fenugreek, onion, and aloe vera, known for their therapeutic properties. The formulations were evaluated for organoleptic characteristics, physicochemical parameters (pH, stability, sedimentation), and overall performance. Results demonstrated that all formulations exhibited good stability, acceptable pH ranges (5.2-7.9), and no signs of irritation. The herbal hair oil showed excellent moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, while the shampoo demonstrated effective cleansing and conditioning. The onion serum enhanced hair growth potential, and the herbal dye and henna powder provided natural coloring without adverse effects. The synergistic combination of herbal ingredients contributed to antioxidant, antimicrobial, and hair-strengthening effects. Stability studies over three months indicated no significant changes in physical or chemical properties. These formulations offer a sustainable, eco-friendly, and effective alternative to conventional products. The findings support the commercial and therapeutic potential of polyherbal hair care products and provide a scientific basis for their development as cosmeceutical innovations."
