Hair Cosmetics And Cosmeceuticals

Hair cosmetics, including shampoos, played a crucial role in personal confidence and quality of life by cleansing, protecting, and enhancing the appearance of hair. Shampoos, typically composed of 10 to 30 ingredients, needed to cleanse without stripping natural oils. Conditioning agents in shampoos helped with combing, volume control, hydration, softness, and shine. Baby shampoos used mild, non-irritating detergents like betaines due to limited sebum production in infants.
