Comparison Of Anti-Dandruff Activity Of Synthetic Shampoos And Crude Plant Extracts On Dandruff Causing Isolates
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Biotechnology and Biochemistry (IOSR-JBB - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Dandruffis very rampant and the market loaded with antidandruff shampoos and other skin care products, There is need to assume resourceful research into this area, To check the antidandruff activity of such antidandruff products, experiments was carried out on Malassezia furfur the causal organism for dandruff which was isolated using SDA with olive oil. The anti-dandruff activities of the synthetic shampoos and plant extractswere compared. Among the plant extracts tested, Lemon showed the highest zone of inhibition followed by lime, Neem plant and aloe vera while among the synthetic antidandruff shampoo venoz showed the highest zone of inhibition followed by Adal A hair shampoo, vintage and 24 hours shampoo. Comparatively the plant extract shampoos showed a high zone of inhibition than the synthetic shampoos. Medicinal plants have some natural Antimicrobial property and therefore such combination could be a potential antidandruff activity.
