EMULSION FORMULATION OF CAMELLIA SINENSIS AND ALLIUM CEPA FOR ALOPECIA AREATA

Abstract

In this study aim was to prepare characterize the herbal topical emulsion formulation to hair with Camellia sinensis, Allium cepa extracts and with almond oil. Allium cepa extract (Bulb) and Camellia sinensis extract (Leaves), Almond oil (Prunus dulcs) have the capability to regrowth the hair effected by Alopecia areata. Initial the compatibility of herbal ingredients was evaluated and the physical properties of emulsions were studied. Then decided emulsion was prepared as w/o type emulsion. The formulations characterize via several parameters such as; Dye solubility test, piratical size analysis, organoleptic test, centrifugation, viscosity test, PH test, electrical conductivity. The characterization of prepared emulsions shows acceptable properties as per ICH guidelines for three months. The biological activities of prepared emulsion were tested for 10 days on Wistar rats in three groups. Finally, by these findings suggest that the formulated emulsion with extracts of Allium cepa and Camellia sinensis showed promising results to treat the Alopecia areata.
