Cosmetics are utilized to upgrade the appearance or scent of the human body. Beautifying agents incorporate skin creams, lotions, powders, aromas, lipsticks, fingernail and toe nail polish, eye and facial cosmetics, permanent waves, and numerous different kinds of items. To make the hair sound and gleaming, there are several manufactured oils and hair shampoos. But when in contrast to the artificial one, natural cosmetics have growing demand in the world market and are an priceless gift of nature, as it is secure and free from facet results like hair fall and damage. As it is safe and free from symptoms like hair fall and harm. As the age increases, people suffer from hair loss and damage due to the less secretion of keratin. As we age, our body’s natural levels of collagen decrease, leading to thinning and shedding of hair. Research shows that collagen may support and increase hair-building proteins (keratin) in the body. This can help strengthen hair strands, promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. Collagen may even help to prevent the appearance of grey hairs by supporting the healthy structure of the hair follicle, where the pigment of hair is produced. Collagen supplements also have been shown to be effective in treating dry, brittle hair, helping to maintain healthy moisture levels in the hair. The present work was aimed to formulate organic oil and shampoo using fish scales and various herbs. The formulated organic oil and shampoo were evaluated for homogeneity, appearance, odour, saponification value, pH etc.
