    The main aim of this project was production and characterization of shampoo from Moring astenopetala seed kernel oil. Shampoo is a hair care product packed in a convenient way for use to wash hair and scalp. The major function of shampoo is to clean the hair, removal of oils, dirt, scalp debris and accumulated sebum. Formulation of shampoo must be safe and efficient for long use. One of the main ingredients used to produce shampoo immuring stenopetala seed oil and SLS. This moringa stenepetela seed oil was extracted using the Soxhlet extraction method. Shampoo formulations were classified based on the raw material which it is made from. Those are: chemical based made shampoo and natural or herbal type of shampoo. In this project wehave focused on both chemicals based and natural based shampoo production. To do this we have used raw materials like Moringa oil, SLS, Nacl, citric acid, distilled water, egg yolk and Formaldehyde. This thesis also incorporates material balance and energy balance on the basic unit operation, equipment specifications and preliminary cost estimation for industrial scale plant. The produced shampoo evaluated for quality assessment tests revealed that the pH (6.5), Foam ability (25-55ml), detergency (20-30) and solid content (20–30 wt.%) were within the requirement for standard medicated shampoo
