Personal care products hair conditioners

In the category of silicone coatings used for surface modification of the specific substrates, functional silicone fluids are often used, which can selectively interact with the chemical groups of the substrate, thus modifying its surface properties. The use of functional silicones in the textile industry has been discussed in a number of recent publications.5 421 422 The use of different types of high-performace silicone-coated textiles, which include elastomers and resins, has recently been reviewed.423 The use of functional silicones in personal-care products, for example, in shampoos and hair conditioners, mentioned before,381 provides another well-known example. 

An agent that lends a soft texture to skin, hair, or membrane tissues. Used in formulated personal care products such as skin creams and hair conditioners. 

In fact, one reason we use polymer solutions is because of their viscosity. Examples include engine oil, paint, glues, shampoo, and hair conditioner. Say you were painting the walls in your bedroom. If the paint had the viscosity of water, it would be very difficult to apply and keep from running right down the wall—or down your arm. If your shampoo or hair conditioner had too little viscosity, it would feel watery and just rim out of your hair before it was able to do its job. Many personal care products contain polymers to control viscosity and texture. 

A polymeric quaternary ammonium salt of HEC, polyquatemium-24, in combination with certain primary surfactants, salts, and other viscosifying agents can be used as a thickener in personal care products such as shampoos, hair conditioners, creams, and aftershave gels. 

Silicone products have many commercial roles. At one end of the market, they are crucial ingredients in personal care products silicones are the components of shampoos and conditioners that improve the softness and silkiness of hair, and are also used in shaving foams, toothpastes, anti-perspirants, cosmetics, hair-styling gels and bath oils. At the other end of the spectrum, silicones find very dilferent applications in silicone greases, sealants, varnishes. 

In the production of personal care products, such as hair conditioners, body lotions, and dental products ... 

Personal care products are applied directly to parts of the human body such as the skin (soaps, shower gels, bath foams), the hair (shampoos, hair conditioners), and also intimate parts snch as the mouth mucous membranes (toothpastes). Many different products are available as personal care products. This chapter deals only with the most representative products on the market ... 

The conditioning polymers discussed in these chapters are effective skin and hair modifiers because they are designed to deposit, adhere, adsorb, or absorb to proteinaceous elements of the hair and skin. In the personal care industry, the term substantivity describes the binding of a material to these surfaces. To be effective conditioners, however, it is not sufficient for the materials simply to adhere to the skin and hair. They must contribute some attribute that the consumer perceives as beneficial to these surfaces. Indeed, conditioning effects are among the most important characteristics the consumer seeks when purchasing a personal care product. 

Both MC and HPMC form surface films. They are used in food products as binders and to aid shape retention on heating in products such as reformed vegetables (potato croquettes, onion rings, etc.) and fish cakes. They are also used in personal care products such as shampoos, hair conditioners, shaving gels and toothpaste. 

Personal care. CDs are added to many personal care products like shampoos, hair conditioners and skin care products as thickeners. The ability to stabilize suspensions and emulsions is also utilized for this application. The film-forming properties of CDs are important for hair conditioning products. 

Because of the beneficial effects on biological tissues that have been reported for sterol derivatives and also because of the rather exclusive natural raw materials, the use of this type of products has mainly been reported in personal care applications. Manufacturers recommend the products to be used in day creams, body lotions, and hair conditioners. In addition, the use of biological materials like sterols as a hydrophobic group has attracted studies of these surfactants in drug delivery applications. This section of the chapter discusses the use of polyoxyethylene sterols in these two very different applications. In addition, it can also be noted that unexpected and surprising uses of these types of surfactants in ink-jet inks was recently patented [32].
