  13. pH STABILIZER

A. DETERGENT (SURFACTANTS)


Keep in mind:- detergent % in shampoo should be less than 30%
1.a. What is the work of DETERGENT  in the shampoo?


  • Work of detergent is to wash away oils, dust & sebum from your hair.
  • Detergents are surfactants 
  • Normal water cannot remove oil, dirt etc from hair because water cannot lower surface tension of these particles 
  • But detergents can do this easily. They lower the surface tension of the molecule of oil, dust & dirt. As a result, your hair becomes free from oil, dirt & dust after applying shampoo.
 If you want deep cleansing then rinse hair properly after applying shampoo
 1.b. What are the detergent ingredients present in the shampoo?




  • Chemicals like sodium laureth sulfate (SLSE), ammonium laureth sulfate (ALS), sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) act as a detergent in the shampoo.
  • They help in breaking the bond between hair & dust.
  • If their concentration becomes more in shampoo then it can make your hair harsh. (hair become dry)
  • These surfactants create foam but it is not enough for shampoo companies to earn money.
    • That is why they add extra foam generating chemicals to shampoos
    Between ALS ,SLES & SLS always choose ALS. Because it is less dangerous Due to its bigger molecular size.

    B.. FOAM/LATHER (foaming agents)

    Keep in mind: foam should be less than 5%
    1.a. What is the work of foaming agents in the shampoo?
