AI Technical Summary
Consumers are hesitant to use anti-dandruff shampoos due to undesirable performance aspects such as hair feel, scent, and excessive cleansing, and mixing anti-dandruff shampoo with cosmetic shampoo dilutes the effectiveness of both, necessitating a composition that provides noticeable anti-dandruff protection without compromising hair benefits.
A hair care composition containing approximately 5% to 7% surfactants, 0.01% to 10% scalp care active substances, and 0.5% to 8% thickening polymers, with scalp care actives at a concentration of more than 0.5 ug/cm², designed to enhance adhesion and provide effective anti-dandruff protection when mixed with cosmetic shampoos.
The composition achieves improved adhesion efficiency, delivering noticeable anti-dandruff protection while maintaining hair benefits, even when used at lower surfactant levels, thus addressing consumer concerns and enhancing the effectiveness of both types of shampoos.
