From the present study, we conclude that the methanolic
extract of cinnamon bark has potential antifungal activity
against M. globosa, M. sympodialis and M. furfur and can be
exploited in the development of herbal formulations like
shampoos, hair gels, hair/skin creams etc. for the management
of clinical conditions like dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis,
pityriasis versicolor. Even though the extract shows less activity
than Ketoconazole, it has its own value or influence for its
antimicrobial properties as a natural ingredient from plant
source.
