Abstract

Hydrogels are cross linked, three-dimensional hydrophilic polymers, which swell without dissolving when brought into contact with water or other biological fluids. In the current research hydrogel formulations of Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis were developed by incorporating the gelling agent. Various evaluation parameters like swelling index, pH, viscosity, increased with the increase in the concentration of the polymer. Spreadability decreased with the increase in the polymer concentration. Skin irritation studies revealed that there was no irritation or redness on the skin on the application of the formulations on the skin. Stability study suggested that the formulation was stable at refrigerated condition as compared to room temperature. Anti microbial studies suggested that the formulations were more effective in hair disorders than the coconut oil. All the combined results revealed that the formulation second was the best formulation, which was subjected to TEM analysis, particle size and Polydispersity index determination and anti oxidant study. Morphology study by TEM revealed that most of the particles were spherical. Antioxidant study of the formulation is supposed to attribute to the hair growth.
