Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacognosy - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Four commercial normal hair shampoos produced by four famous Iranian companies were chosen for evaluating their characteristics based on scientifically measurable properties and were compared with our new developed formulation. Selection of the evaluation parameters of shampoo is a challenging test, because of the multitude of both subjective and instrumental test methodologies available for this purpose. The following characteristics were tested: physical appearance/visual inspection evaluation, stability, pH, foam quality, ability to reduce the surface tension, ash value, wetting agent and viscosity. The results of tests given much information about quality and characteristics and sensorial attributes related with famous Iranian market shampoos, so that they fit the demands and the needs of Iranian consumers. Also, a newly developed formulation for normal hair shampoo was introduced with high foaming, good wetting ability, detergency power and so on.
