Definition
A shampoo is a preparation of a surfactant in a suitable form–liquid,solid or powder–which when used under the specified conditions will
▪ remove surface grease,
▪ dirt, and
▪ skin debris
from the hair shaft and scalp without adversely affecting the user.
History
▪ Derived from hindi word – Champi which means to press, knead, soothe
▪ It was introduced by bengali in Britain
▪ In 1860 the word and meaning of shampoo was changed from massaging to applying soap to hair.
▪ Earlier ordinary soap was used to clean hair, like shekakai.
Evolution of shampoo in India▪ HUL undisputed leader from the early 90’s
▪ Sunsilk launched in 1964 ( General Shampoo platform )
▪ Clinic Plus launched in 1971 ( Family, health shampoo platform )
▪ Clinic All Clear launched in 1987 ( Therapeutic AD Shampoo)
▪ Sunsilk re-launched in 1987 - Shampoo + Conditioner ( Beauty platform ) with Sachet
▪ Clinic Active launched in 1991 ( with Pro Vitamin B - health platform )
▪ Sunsilk re-positioned and re-launched in 1994 ( Nutracare) - Pink for dry hair, yellow for normal hair, green for oily hair and black for long hair
Most Important effects
▪ Moisturizing
▪ Adsorption and/or penetration of the hair
▪ Cleansing
▪ Removal of oils
Action of shampoo on hair
▪ Lawrence and breuer 3 basic components of hair soil which are to be removed are:
1. Sebum – Oil secretions from SabaceousGlands
2. Protein matter from cell debris of stratum corneum
3. Atmospheric pollutants
The process of soil removal
▪ 3 types
1. Sebum – roll up
2.Soluble oil – aq
3. Insoluble particulate soil- electrostatic repulsion
Foaming of shampoo
▪Signal how quick lather is formed and quantity of it
▪ 3 stages▪ Rapidity of foam formation▪ Peak Volume Of foam▪ Consistency of lather
Surfactants
▪ Facilitate the removal of environmental dirt by reducing the surface tension between water and dirt.
▪ Dirt is dispensed in water phase and adsorption prevented
▪ Sebum and dirt are bound and surrounded at the centre of a micelle structure with hydrophilic end pointing outside.
surfactant examples
▪ Class 1: anionic
A. Alkyl sulfates
B. Alkyl ether sulfates
C. Sulfo succinic acid mono and di esters
D. Isothionates
▪Class 2 : non ionic
▪Fatty acid alkanolamides
▪Fatty amine oxides
▪Alkyl poly glucosides
▪Class 3: Amphoteric
▪Class 4 : Cationic
Shampoo additives
1. Modification of surfactant effectsA. Moisturizers - Fatty acid esters, Alkonalamides
B. Humectants – Propylene Glycol, PEG, Glycerin, Sorbitol and Lactate
Shampoo Stabilization
A. Preservatives- Para benzoic acid ester.,Sorbic acid, Methyl Paraben
B. UV adsorbers – Benzophenone derivatives
C. Anti- oxidants – Ascorbic acid, α- Tocopherol
D. Buffers – Citrate, Lactate, Phosphate buffers
Conditioners
Shampoo additives
▪ Thickeners▪ PG, PVA
▪ Pearlizers and opacifiers▪ Glycol disterate
▪ Preservatives▪ Parabens , iso thia zolinones
▪ pH modifiers ▪ 5.6 to 6.2
▪ Citric acid
Hair Damages
Raised hair cuticle
complete loss of hair cuticle
loosening of intercellular cement with initial transverse fracture in the fiber
Conditioning Agents
▪ The aim of conditioning agent is to maintain the natural condition of newly grown hairs for as long as possible.
▪ Include fatty substances such as Vegetable oils,
wax,
Lecithin,
Protein hydrolysates,
Quaternary ammonium compounds
silicones.
Conditioners
▪ Cationic like Poly Quaternium-10 and Polyquaternium-16 leave a film that coats the surface of the hair fiber, making it appear to be soft and smooth while improving shine and color by altering the refractive index.
▪ Silicones like Dimethicone are added along with special dispersing agents.
▪ Silicones add lubricity and reduce friction that arises during combing. They also provide anti static property
Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
▪ Selenium disulfide
▪ Zinc pyrithrone
▪ Piroctone olamine
▪ Ketoconazole
▪ Ciclopirox olamine
Dandruff
▪ Anatomical reasons: in scalp – large number of terminal hair follicles and the enlarged epidermal surface due to numerous hair canals ---- lead to higher rate of exfoliation
▪ Pathological reasons: Accelerated proliferation of epidermal cells
▪ This exfoliation leads to breakdown of normal columnar structure of the stratum corneum and increased formation of cell aggregates which determine the size of flakes
▪ Yeast Malassezia spp. Inhabits the scalp
▪ Modern classification based on DNA typing – M. resticta and M. Globosa
DandruffTypes:
1. Simple Dandruff ( Pityriasis Simplex)
2. Oily Dandruff ( Pityriasis Steatoides)
3. Asbestos like scales (Pityriasis Amiantacea)
Pityriasis simplex
Pityriasis amiantacea
Pityriasissteatoides
Anti Dandruff agents
1. Agents inhibiting overproduction of keratinizing cells. Eg: Coal Tar
2. Keratolytic agents that break down cell aggregations Eg: colloidal sulfur, Salicylic acid
3. Anti-microbial agents that inhibit Malassezia spp.Eg: Selenium disulfide, Zinc pyrithrone, Pirocotoneolamine, Ketoconazole, Ciclopirox olamine
4. Combination of above
Anti Aging Shampoo
▪Cinnamido propyl trimonium chloride is a quaternized UV absorber that also has a conditioning effect in a shampoo
Unwanted effects
Detachment of compact crusts with telogen hairs. Acute felting
Carcinogenicity and Evaluation Tests
Carcinogenicity
▪ Tests:
1. Foam and foam stability
2. Wetting action
3. Conditioning
4. Microbiological activity
5. Eye irritation
6. Viscocity
