AbstractDandruff is very common in population. It causes hair fall or hair loss, itching in scalp, acne, pimples and recurrent infection of facial skin, more over it also causes social embracement. Ayurveda has recommended many herbal formulations and remedies are mentioned for dandruff like Nilikadham taila,Khas-khasbeejadi lepa,Amrabeejadi lepa etc., in which Amrabeejadi lepa formulation is one of them which is indicated even in severe dandruff. This lepa contains Amra beeja majja, Haritaki and Dugdha. This dosage form has very short shelf life and low patient compliance. So to increase its shelf-life and also for better patient compliance amrabeejadi lepa modified into cream in house. The study is intended to evaluation of Amrabeejadi antidandruff cream. The Amrabeejadi antidandruff cream tested with standards parameters pH (3-4), viscosity (32640 cpc) spreadability (8-80 gmcm/sec) and extrudability (good). The lotion shows good consistency and good appearance. So we can develop the classical formulation in convenient dosage form, consumer friendly, highly potent and longer shelf life without disturbing basic concepts of Ayurveda.
