The Herbal Extraction of Cinnamon and Banyan Root Shampoo on Scalp by Cationic Polymer Effect
Dr. Minal Ghule | Dr. G. V. Paunikar
Abstract: The shampoo sector probably the largest unit sale among the hair care product. Now days the synthetic preservative and detergent have sometime has been the cause of adverse effect among consumer, the synthetic ingredient is by incorporating natural extract whose functionally is comparable with their synthetic ingredients. The cationic polymer play an important role in providing many of those feature. Cationic polymers are perhaps the most often and abundantly used polymer in hair care formulations. The polymer structure is designed with a large hydrophobic chain attached to a quaternary nitrogen group carrying a positive charge. Featuring a positive charge, cationic polymers bind to the keratin protein of hair by an electrostatic chemical bond due to its opposing negative charges. The quaternary nitrogen group attaches these polymers to the strand?s surface while its long hydrophobic chain adds conditioning and detangling benefits to hair. Modern shampoo contains a wide variety of ingredients and other active ingredients but there is still a need a conditioning polymers. The polymers adsorb cationic moiety and is responsible for reduced friction between hairs. So the aim of study is to assess the conditioning efficacy of cationic polymers and to investigate their mechanism in a shampoo system.
