<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the phytochemical compounds of several local plants and to determine panelists’ acceptance of herbal shampoo formulations derived from local plant extracts by a descriptive experimental method. The herbal shampoo was formulated using 200 mL each of Aloe vera, Annona muricata L., Pogostemon cablin Benth., Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L., and Piper betle L. extracts, combined with 120.0 g Texaphon, 40.0 g NaCl, 20.0 mL Camperlan (KD), 10.0 mL Lexain C, 0.4 g citric acid, 0.3 g Trilon, 2.2 mL Lexgard P, 2.0 mL fragrance, and distilled water. Phytochemical screening was conducted qualitatively using specific reagents. Organoleptic testing involved 30 panelists evaluating color, texture, aroma, and sensation after shampooing using a hedonic scale. The results showed that betel leaves contained alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, phenolics, and tannins. Soursop leaves, patchouli leaves, and hibiscus leaves positively contained alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins, phenolics, and tannins, whereas Aloe vera leaves positively contained steroid compounds. The organoleptic evaluation demonstrated that the herbal shampoo formulation achieved very good acceptance levels, with color scoring 85.9%, texture 84.1%, aroma 81.7%, and sensation after shampooing 80.9%. Based on the findings, the herbal shampoo formulation derived from local plants has promising potential for development as a natural hair care product due to the presence of beneficial bioactive compounds and high consumer acceptance.
