This study evaluates a new ozonated oil-based hair cream for women with oily scalp (seborrhea). The cream contains natural oils (moringa, wheat germ, olive, and chili extract) treated with ozone, plus biotin (vitamin B7). 66 women aged 18-40 years participated in this 6-week study. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either: * The active cream (ozonated oils + biotin), OR * A placebo cream (without active ingredients) Neither the participants nor the researchers knew which cream was given (double-blind). Participants applied the cream to their scalp every evening for 6 weeks. The main goal was to measure changes in scalp oil (sebum) production at Week 6 compared to baseline. Other outcomes included hair manageability, shine, and scalp comfort. Results showed that the active cream significantly reduced scalp oil by 28% compared to 10% in the placebo group. The cream was well-tolerated with only mild side effects (scalp irritation in 6% of active group). This study suggests that ozonated oil emulsion may be a safe and effective cosmetic option for managing oily scalp in women.
