Implication

Experimental study reveals consistent physicochemical and chromatographic profiles of Dadruhara Malahara prepared with Somraji Taila, indicating standard quality for topical dermatological use.

Key Points

To prepare the topical formulation Dadruhara Malahara using Somraji Taila in a Siktha Taila base and characterize its physicochemical, elemental, chromatographic, and microbiological profiles.
Purified raw materials through Shodhana (Bakuchi, Guggulu, Tankana, and Gandhaka) and formulated Somraji Taila across three batches using Sneha Paka methods.
Prepared Dadruhara Malahara in three batches by blending Dadruhara Lepa ingredients into a Siktha Taila base (6:1 Somraji Taila to beeswax ratio; 1:2.5 powder-to-base ratio).
Characterized the formulation using organoleptic evaluation, pH testing, moisture and total fat analysis, spreadability, Total Viable Count (TVC), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), and High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC).
Achieved a homogeneous, mustard-brown semisolid formulation with a mean pH of 8.04, moisture content of 1.73% w/w, total fat of 64.82%, spreadability of 7.14 g·cm/s, and TVC of 1 × 10² CFU/g.
XRF elemental analysis confirmed a sulphur content of 2.57% alongside trace elements and 2 ppm lead, while HPTLC resolved characteristic multi-spot fingerprint profiles at 254 nm, 366 nm, and 540 nm.
