The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has defined the requirements for hair oils in their standard IS 7123: 2019 Hair Oils - Specification (Third Revision).
Here are the key parameters specified by this standard:
Organoleptic Characteristics: These include sensory properties such as color, odor, and appearance. Hair oils should meet specific criteria for these attributes.
Physical Features:
Viscosity: The viscosity of hair oils is an important parameter. It affects how easily the oil spreads and penetrates the hair.
pH: The pH value indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the oil. It should fall within a specified range.
Acid Value: This parameter measures the free fatty acids in the oil.
Saponification Value: It reflects the average molecular weight of the fatty acids in the oil.
Refractive Index: The refractive index helps determine the purity and composition of the oil.
Specific Gravity: This property relates to the density of the oil.
Skin Irritation Test: Hair oils are tested for skin irritation on the forearm. This ensures that the product is safe for use.
Stability Study: The stability of hair oils is assessed to ensure they remain effective and safe throughout their shelf life.
