Aloe Vera is a natural product which is now a days used in the field of cosmetology. Our formulation is to formulate a herbal shampoo using a plant extract which is used as hair washing and conditioning shampoo to treat hair loss and prevent itching scalp and dandruff. is effective than the marketed shampoo as we have used essential oils like coconut oil which is derived from the coconut palm fruit , lavender oil which is derived from the flowers of lavender, rosemary oil derived from the flowering tops of rosemary. eucalyptus oil which is derived from the leaves of eucalyptus plant and some other excepients like antioxidants stabilizers, solubilizing agents, surfactants, cleansing agents, coloring agents and preservatives. All of these are used for the aim to improve the smoothening , shining and growth of the hair. Our study has evaluated all the tests like foaming ability test, pH determination, skin irritancy test, conditioning performance, wettability and in all those test it has shown good results when compared to the marketed shampoo.

“…Due to this, the plant is sometimes referred as a “miraculous plant”, ‘the wonder plant’, ‘plant of immortality’ and ‘nature powder’ ( Lanka, 2018 ; Akev et al, 2015 ). It leaves of this plant contain fat compounds, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and 18 essential amino acids, vitamins (e.g., A, C, E, vitamin B12, folic acid), minerals, glycoprotein, C-glucosylchromone, anthraquinones, emodin, salicylic acid and various kinds of enzymes ( Lanka, 2018 ; Hamman, 2008 ; Surjushe et al, 2008 ). Also contained in the plant are secondary metabolites including alkaloids, aloins, lectins, lignin, saponins, tannins, phenolic and glukomannan are also present in the plant ( Boudreau and Beland, 2006 ; Darini et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Aloe vera L. is an important member of Liliaceae family and genus Aloe (Nie et al, 2018;Cock, 2015;Hasanuzzaman et al, 2008;Reynolds, 2004) widely cultivated in many countries due to its importance as an all-purpose herbal or medicinal plant. Due to this, the plant is sometimes referred as a "miraculous plant", 'the wonder plant', 'plant of immortality' and 'nature powder' (Lanka, 2018;Akev et al, 2015).

“…A. vera is familiar for using as functional food supplement and preservative of foods for the presence of antioxidant molecules, high amount of carbohydrates, and vitamins as its constituents (Gupta et al, 2020a). The plant has wide use in cosmetology and medicine (Lanka, 2018;Cock, 2015;Akev et al, 2015;Eshun and He, 2004;Hamman, 2008). A. vera extract can also be used for the perturbation of enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidative indices levels in rats (Gupta et al 2019(Gupta et al , 2020b.…”

Aloe vera L . is widely cultivated in many countries due to its importance as an all-purpose herbal or medicinal plant. The growth and yield of this plant can be enhanced by application of fertilizer. It is expected that a higher and balanced nutrient supply will result in higher crop production maintaining soil health, which is possible when the applied fertilizers are done in way that is efficient. So, there is a need to understand the amount of applied and type of fertilizer that will give the best output for farmers and to formulate economical market products. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of N fertilizer on leaf yield, its uptake and requirement, critical concentration, use efficiency and economics of Aloe vera L. Plants were grown at six levels of N: 0, 40, 80, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha −1 from urea and diammonium phosphate (DAP) following completely randomized design with three replicates under field condition. The highest values of yield and yield attributes and profit based on benefit cost ratio (3.81 for urea and 2.91 for DAP) were obtained with 150 kg N ha −1 (urea) and 100 kg N ha −1 (DAP). Leaf biomass yield increased by 18–128 % in urea-N and 30–139 % in DAP-N fertilized plant over control while DAP > urea by 7.59 %. Sucker production (mean number) was urea-N (4.95 Plant −1 ) > DAP-N (2.28 Plant −1 ). Both gel and leaf N concentration and uptake was highest at 200 kg ha −1 for both sources. For 80 % leaf biomass yield, minimum requirement of N was ca 74.90 (urea) and 89.60 kg ha −1 (DAP). Growth and yield parameters to N application exhibited significant and positive correlations. Critical leaf N concentration was ca 0.88% (DAP) and 0.90% (urea) while mean and maximum NUE was 34% and 64 % (urea) and 43% and 69% (DAP), respectively. Farmers can be advised to apply N at the rate of 150 kg ha −1 from urea for producing economically higher yield and better-quality A. vera leaves.

Aloe vera is a perennial ethno-medicinal potential plant with a xerophytic characteristic, but not a cactus. It has a famous history owing to its phytopharmaceutical properties and this had made it useful in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. Studies had shown the positive effects of its extract against bacteria, organisms. The phytochemical properties of A. vera have fungi, virus and parasitic been exploited for various economic and commercial purposes. This review contributes literature on the bioactive potential composition, processing and the pharmaceutical potential uses, an adverse side-effect that might spring up in case of over dosage and important safety precautions are summarized. More scientific innovations and developments in the aspect of analytical chemistry are on the way to provide more acceptable, purified chemical characterization of A. vera using sophisticated laboratory equipment and machines.
