FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF HERBAL NIOSOMAL TABLET FOR HAIR CARE

Abstract

Nutricosmetics, the integration of nutrition and cosmetics, are becoming increasingly popular as advanced solutions for promoting skin, hair, and beauty from the inside out. Among them, niosomal capsules are a potential delivery system that provides enhanced stability, bioavailability, and controlled release of the active components. The parameters of evaluation for such formulations are particle size, entrapment efficiency, zeta potential, in-vitro release, stability studies, and ability to penetrate the skin, to ensure efficacy and safety. The significance of nutricosmetics is their long-term potential to benefit beauty problems at a cellular level as opposed to only offering surface-level benefits. As awareness and demands among consumers rise regarding natural and non-invasive approaches to beauty, the worldwide market for nutricosmetics is expected to surge in magnitude and reach multi-billion-dollar market values, powered by innovations in nanotechnology and customization of skincare regimes.The growing consumer preference for sustainable, non-toxic, and efficient delivery systems has further fueled market growth. With increasing investments in nanotechnology and biotechnology, the niosome market is expected to witness significant expansion, reaching multi-billion-dollar valuations in the coming years. This growth is driven by rising demand for personalized medicine, innovative skincare solutions, and effective therapeutic delivery systems across the globe. This research article focuses on formulation evaluation and characterisation of niosomes made from the extracts of calyx of Hibiscus sabdariffaand leaves of Murraya koenigii. Incorporation of niosome in hard gelatine capsule and its evaluation.
