As a result, the test group that was treated with the scalp tonic saw a decrease in scalp lipids by about 60%, while scalp keratin decreased by about 71% and the pH of the scalp decreased by about 11%, indicating that the conditions of the scalp were within the range of a normal scalp. Additionally, the amount of scalp micro-organisms decreased by about 62%, and, as for the color of the scalp, the red color decreased by about 48%, which indicated an improvement in the level of erythema, while the erythema on the scalp decreased by about 27%, indicating a decrease in the erythema index. The findings of this study indicated that applying the scalp tonic based on extracts from pomegranate seeds improved the health of the scalp of climacteric women, verifying that it could solve various problems of the scalp.
