Styling gels

Products for personal care are big business Americans spend close to 12 billion annually on shampoos, conditioners, and styling gels. These products rely on intermolecular forces for their effectiveness. Shampoos, in particular, interact with water in ways that we can understand by knowing the properties of solutions. 

S stands for Sort, Store, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Use this method to keep your workstations clean and to standardize item locations. At RayRay s, for instance, the stylists use certain items every day including scissors, a comb, clippers, styling gel, and so on. These frequent use items... 

Poly(/V-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone), PVP, is available in various molecular weights (10,000, 40,000, 160,000, and 360,000) and can yield solutions of varying viscosities. PVP is best known for its unusual complexing ability toward many types of small molecules and for its physiological inertness [19], As a thickener, it is used in biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care products (hair styling gels, shaving creams, shampoos, emollient creams and lotions, etc.). 

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.

Due to their transparency, microemulsions represent a very attractive type of cosmetic formulation, e.g. hair styling gels, perfume gels, bath preparations, sunscreen gels, etc. Their main problem is the relatively high surfactant concentration required for their formulation compared with nano- and macroemulsions. Proper choice of the surfactant system used for their formulation is required to avoid any side-effects, e.g. skin irritation. To arrive at the optimum composition of microemulsion systems, one needs to the phase diagram for these multicomponent formulations.

The poly(methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride) polymer is used as a thickener in many products such as lotions and creams, styling gels, and shampoos. This is available under the trade name Gantrez from GAP Corporation. The mechanism of thickening of this pol3rmer is similar to the polyacrylic acid polymers. The U.S. Patent 5385729 is an example of poly(methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride) polymer as a thickener in hair- or skin-treating gels [24]. 

The most popular of the gel products are those for styling. Thus, styling gels and conditioning gels will be explained here in more detail.
