Abstract

Today, the world is developing more and more in all sectors at a faster pace. But with all these developments, people are more prone to falling ill due to factors such as pollution, unhealthy lifestyles, busy work schedules, etc. Nowadays, even children suffer from the issue of dandruff and scalp infections which in later teenage years leads to unhealthy scalp and hair fall problems. Dandruff is a common scalp condition that affects individuals of all ages. It not only causes discomfort but also undermines hair health and aesthetics. Although scalp disorders are not among those that cause severe physical illness or morbidity yet are of great social concern. Scalp and hair conditions have more of a psychological impact on societies. Even minor changes in hair like graying of hair, affects the self-confidence and self-esteem of an individual. There are many types of medications and formulations to treat hair dandruff issues, one of which includes a novel drug delivery system such as “Emulgel” in the form of a mask. The anti-dandruff hair mask offers multiple benefits, including reduction in scalp inflammation and effective management of hair dandruff problems. Furthermore, it rejuvenates the scalp and nourishes hair follicles due to its natural vitamins and nutrient content.
