The problem of dry dandruff on the head caused by the proliferation of the fungus Phytosphorum oval (p.ovale) can be inhibited by the use of lime.The results of research by Rahmadani (2012), in one of his theses "The Effect of Lime Utilization on Healing Dry Dandruff on the Scalp (Kurnia, 2014).The problem of dry dandruff on the head caused by the proliferation of the fungus Phytosphorum oval (p.ovale) can be inhibited by the use of lime.The results of Rahmadani's research (2012), in one of his theses "The Effect of Lime Utilization on Healing Dry Dandruff on the Scalp (Faizatun et al., 2008).

METHODS
This research was conducted in an experimental laboratory.The research was conducted at the Pharmacy Laboratory of STIKES Helvetia Medan.The sample of this research is lime (Citrus aurantifolia) with a concentration of 1%, 5%, 10% taken from the seikambing market.

Plant Identification Results
The results of plant identification carried out at the Herbarium Medanese (Medan) Laboratory of the University of North Sumatra showed that it was true that the test material used The results of the pH examination showed that lime juice (Citrus aurantifolia) and menthol had a pH ranging from 7.1 to 5.4 pH.However, this difference is still within the range of the scalp pH requirement of 4.5-10.5.Thus, the formulation can be used for shampoo preparations.

Flowability Test
The flow power test was carried out using a measuring cup and a funnel, then put the preparation into the measuring cup, calculate the speed using a stopwatch.

Organoleptic Test
Observation of the final preparation which includes odor, taste and color which is observed objectively and continuously.This observation aims to see the occurrence of significant changes in the final preparation that has been made.Must be soft, and the same (homogeneous) no visible air bubbles, lumps and separate particles.Lemon juice 1% and menthol 0.4%

50,5ml
The results of the foaming ability showed that there was a difference in the foaming power without extract with shampoo added with lime juice and menthol.This difference was due to the percentage or content of surfactant which was higher in the preparation without extract compared to the shampoo preparation with the addition of lime juice and menthol.

Volunteer Skin Irritation Test
The use of cosmetics that are not good for the skin can cause various reactions (side effects).Based on the research conducted, the following results were obtained: The irritation test was carried out by applying shampoo preparations to the back of the volunteers' ears, then left for 24 hours and observed changes in the form of redness of the skin, itching and roughening of the skin of the volunteers being tested.From the table data above, the difference in concentration does not cause irritation to the skin.

CONCLUSION
Lime juice (citrus aurantifolia) and menthol (mentholum) can be formulated into shampoo preparations.The results of the test of foaming power decreased due to the addition of lime juice (citrus aurantifolia) and menthol (mentholum).The results of the pH test on the shampoo preparation were in accordance with the pH requirements of the shampoo and did not cause irritation to the volunteer's skin.These results show that the shampoo is worth using.

SUGGESTION
It is recommended for further researchers to make other preparations such as hair tonic, moisturizing cream and anti-dandruff shampoo preparations.
