Facing the proliferation of unnatural fragrance personal care products by their convenience and affordability. However, facing the immediate benefits is the insecurity of prolonged exposure to odors, the vast majority of which may exceed the allowable or unknown uses. Therefore, we research the production process of shampoos derived from natural essential oils. In this study, we use lemongrass oil originating from Tan Phu Dong commune, Tien Giang province to conduct steam distillation with optimum efficiency of 0.29%. The general formula for making a shampoo product is based on basic factors such as detergent, humectant, foaming agent, etc. The product evaluation is based on the results of the assessment of foaming ability, degree foam stability, and product stability under different storage conditions. Results showed that shampoo products derived from lemongrass oil gave good evaluation results, scalable, and developed to conduct commercialization.
