        abstract = {The rising concerns regarding the adverse effects of synthetic hair care products have led to a shift towards herbal formulations. Botanical shampoos, enriched with natural plant extracts, offer a safe and effective alternative to commercial shampoos containing sulfates, parabens, and silicones. This review explores the formulation, benefits, and evaluation of a sulfate-free herbal shampoo composed of Sidr, Tulsi, Moringa, Aloe Vera, and Coco Glucoside. These natural ingredients exhibit antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that promote scalp health, strengthen hair follicles, and improve overall hair texture. The study further evaluates essential parameters such as pH balance, foaming ability, cleansing efficiency, conditioning properties, and microbiological stability. Comparative analysis with conventional shampoos reveals the advantages of herbal shampoos, including their ability to cleanse gently, maintain scalp moisture, and reduce the risk of irritation. Future perspectives in herbal shampoo research focus on sustainability, advanced herbal ingredient formulations, and consumer acceptance in the natural cosmetics industry.},
