Story of Shampoo and Homoeopathy

The first shampoo

The first successful retail shampoo was developed in 1930. Until that time, the cleansing agent in shampoos was soluble soap. At that time usually sodium and/or potassium salts were preferred. Soap-based shampoos eagerly formed insoluble calcium and magnesium salts in the presence of hard water,  thereby leaving a dulling film on hair. Clients would often apply a rinse containing vinegar or lemon juice to remove the “scum” film.

The modern shampoo

It consists of the following fractions.

Primary surfactants

The most common primary surfactants used in modern shampoos are the lauryl sulfates and lauryl ether sulfates.

Counter-ions 

The preferred counter-ions  for these anionic surfatants are sodium, ammonium, or potassium to grant good water solubility.

Co-surfactants

Co-surfactants, which are frequently included for their ability to enhance foaming power, include chemicals such as coco monoethanolamide, lauric acid diethanolamine, coco diethanolamide, cocamidopropyl betaine, and other betaines (e.g., lauramidopropyl betaine).

Foaming agents

The foaming ability of shampoos may be additionally boosted by adding compounds such as fatty acid alkanolamides.

Amphoteric surfactants

Amphoteric surfactants are often used to allow for skin mildness (e.g., in shampoos designed for infants) and include chemicals such as sodium alkyl amphoacetates, sodium 3-dodecylaminopropionate, sodium 3-dodecylaminopropane sulfonate, and N-alkyltaurines.

Modifiers

Modifiers are added to confer desirable flow properties and to  stabilize suspensions of insoluble particulate components (e.g., volatile silicones, carbomers [cross-linked polyacrylic acids], acrylates, cellulosics [e.g., hydroxypropylmethylcellulose], xantha gum, glycol stearate, cetyl palmitate, glyceryl distearate, sodium sulfate).

Solvent fillers

Water and propylene glycol.

Preservatives

Formaldehyde, DMDM hydantoin, BHT, methylisothiazolinone, methylchloroisothiazolinone, parabens).

pH adjusters

These enhance foaming action (e.g., triethanolamine, myristic acid, sodium chloride, citric acid, lactic acid), chemical sequestrants/ligands (e.g., EDTA), herbal extracts (e.g., lavender, bergamot, rosemary, peppermint, soapwort, yucca, Iceland moss, orange flower, lemongrass, grapefruit seed, cucumber, watercress, parsley, matricaria, mushroom, chamomile, jojoba, fennel seed, golden seal), vitamins (e.g., panthenol, ascorbic acid, retinyl palmitate, riboflavin, tocopheryl acetate).

Colours

Caramel, henna, D&C colours, FD&C colours etc.

Fragrance

Fragrance also can be added to enhance the composition, purity, chemical effectiveness, and aesthetic quality of the product. 

Other functional ingredients

Other functional ingredients included in modern shampoos are those that confer benefits other than cleaning.

Moisturizers

Proteins such as keratin, collagen, silk protein, lysed soy protein, hydrolysed wheat protein.

Conditioners

Oleyl alcohol, glycerine, stearyl stearate, glycerides derived from natural plant and animal oils, Shea butter, allantoin, Aloe vera gel, dimethicone, and cationic polymers such as polyquaternium-10 and polyquaternium-7.

Antistatics

Cationic detergents such as trimethyl alkyl ammonium chloride, tricetyl methyl ammonium chloride

UV protectors

Benzophenone-3

Antidandruff agents

Piroctone olamine, zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole etc.

Types of shampoos

Shampoos designed for oily, normal, and dry hair seem to differ primarily in the concentration of surfactants. Oily hair: more concentrated detergent; dry hair: more dilute detergent.

Mechanism of action of shampoo

The average human scalp contains approximately 125,000 to 150,000 hair fibres. Hair is  a living material composed mostly of the fibrous protein keratin.

As a protein, keratin consists of amino acid chains sustained by different types of forces, including hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, disulfide linkages, and hydrophobic interactions.

Of these forces, hydrogen bonds and salt bridges are the most important when considering the action of shampoo, as hydrogen bonds between protein chains are disrupted by water and salt bridges are destroyed by changes in pH.

A filament of hair is most stable and strongest at a slightly acidic pH of 4 to 6, as the maximum number of salt bridges exists at a pH of about 4.1. Under basic conditions, the cuticle cells tend to become unstacked, and this dislodging of the shielding tile cells leads to reduced light reflection and the appearance of hair lacking lustre. In addition, the raised cuticle cells may also lead to tangling and the escape of cortex humidity leads to dry and brittle hair. Thus, the control of pH (between pH 4 and 9) is paramount when considering the chemistry of hair care products.

Rinsing hair with water alone will cause the keratin to become more stretchable by absorbing water and softening. However, adding a synthetic cleansing agent such as those found in shampoo to the hair during water rinsing will also allow for  the removal of the water-insoluble oily sebum and associated debris from the hair shaft.  Detergent action associated with shampoos is the result of surfactants. Surfactant is an abbreviation for “surface-active agent.” Surfactants possess hydrophilic (water soluble) heads and hydrophobic (water-insoluble) fatty acid tails. The water-soluble head of the surfactant may carry a negative charge (anionic surfactant), a positive charge (cationic surfactant), may lack any charge (nonionic surfactant), or the surfactant molecule may carry both a positive and a negative charge (amphoteric surfactant). Most major surfactants used in modern shampoos include all but  cationic surfactants because of their skin-irritating potential. Surfactants promote the solubilization of sebum-based oil and dirt in water by lying across the oil-water interface and emulsifying the oil droplets, thereby allowing the oily soil to be removed from the hair via water rinsing.
