Leveraging Digital Innovation to Evaluate a Low-Fat Cosmetic Cream with Ozonated Oils and Biotin: Improving Oily Hair Care Through Consumer Feedback Integration

Ethnopharmacological Relevance:
Natural oils like olive oil, moringa oil, wheat germ oil, and capsicum oleoresin have been historically used in hair care for their therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. This study modernizes these traditional remedies by incorporating ozonation, a contemporary technique, to enhance their chemical properties and efficacy.
Objective:
The research aims to develop and evaluate a low-fat cosmetic cream formulated with an ozonated blend of natural oils and biotin. It also explores the integration of digital tools in assessing consumer satisfaction and feedback on the product's impact on oily hair health.
Methods:
The selected oils underwent ozonation for 240 hours at 25°C using a CD-0013.5 ozone generator. GC-MS analysis identified chemical changes, including the formation of new bioactive compounds. The cream was formulated with the ozonated blend and biotin. A structured digital survey based on the Likert scale was distributed electronically to participants (n=50, aged 18-40) to assess consumer satisfaction over six weeks of use. Key indicators included hair manageability, scalp oiliness, and shine.
Results:
This study bridges traditional ethnopharmacological knowledge with modern innovations, demonstrating the potential of ozonated oil blends in cosmetic applications. The incorporation of digital tools for consumer feedback enhances product development and aligns with the growing trend of digital health solutions. Future research will focus on product stability, safety, and integration into broader telemedicine platforms for personalized hair and scalp care.
Conclusion:
Ozonation enhances the therapeutic potential of traditional oil blends by introducing bioactive non-fatty compounds, creating a low-fat alternative suitable for cosmetic applications. The developed cream provides a natural, effective solution for oily hair and scalp care, integrating traditional knowledge with modern scientific advancements. Further studies on the stability and toxicity of the product are required to advance it into a novel hair care cosmetic. Such a product would serve as an alternative to directly applying fatty oils to hair, enhancing consumer satisfaction and ease of use. This aligns with the broader context of advancing ozone applications in pharmaceutical products.
