This study examines the actual condition of use of scalp and hair cosmetics for women in their 10s to 60s who are busy with work, childcare, and learning. Also it verifies the effects of rough hair improvement and usability and satisfaction of hair products that are harmless to the scalp through self-home care using hair essence. This study not only contributes to healthy and beautiful hair management of women, but also provides basic data for continuously growing scalp and hair industries, and related studies. The results of this study are as follows: First, as a result of the purchase and use of hair cosmetics, essence/serum were used the most, except for shampoo and conditioner/treatment basically used in scalp and hair cosmetics. Most of the respondent purchased hair cosmetics once in every two to three months through the internet and home shopping. When purchasing hair cosmetics, it was found that the after-use effect was the most important factor. Second, the difference of hair moisture increase after using hair essence with heat is verified through a preliminary experiment that using hair essence with heat have higher luster and oiliness. According to the human experiments, both the experimental group and the control group increased the gloss and moisture of the hair, and they were visually evaluated through a monitor with the 400x magnification diagnostic measurement. Third, it was confirmed that the difference in hair texture according to heat treatment after using the home care hair essence in both groups that the rough hair cuticles became smooth after the treatment. Fourth, both groups showed high satisfaction overall after using hair essence. The result showed that the hair improvement, overall satisfaction, moisturizing power of hair, hair texture, future intention to use, necessity of maintaining and improving hair health, and acquaintance recommendation were very positive. In conclusion, when comparing the satisfaction average for the experimental results by group, the overall average of the experimental group was 4.41 points and the control group was 4.31 points, so it would be better to heat-treat the hair essence after using it.

맞춤형샴푸 사용자 두피진단 서비스 선호 조사 연구

The cosmetics industry is one of high value-added industries, which meets a human desire for beauty.
 It includes personalized products which represent an individual’s personality and beauty. At present, however, it is hard to find information on the concept, scope and management standards of such personalized cosmetics.
 Now, there are a lot of brands in domestic cosmetics market and some difficulties in consumer approach.
 As a result, industrial growth has slowed down. Under these circumstances, this study attempted to investigate cosmetics usage patterns and preferences for scalp diagnosis services against personalized shampoo users.
 For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against the consumers in Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do, and the results found the followings: When asked what aspect they consider in purchasing hair cosmetics, ‘efficacies & Effects (96 respondents, 49%)’, ‘color or fragrance (36 respondents, 49.3%)’ and ‘skin compatibility (39 respondents, 37.9%)’ were mostly responded. In overall, regular scalp diagnosis was higher than ‘customized service’, ‘warranty service’ and ‘delivery service’, which means that they wanted to check the results through scalp diagnosis. It is anticipated that the study results would improve consumers’ perception of personalized shampoo and a necessity of scalp diagnosis.

A Review on Herbal Cosmetics and Cosmeceuticals

Human beings have been using herbs for different purpose like food, medicine, beautifying. The word cosmetic was derived from the Greek word “kosm tikos” meaning having the power, arrange, skill in decorating. The natural herbs and their products when used for their aromatic value in cosmetic preparation are termed as herbal cosmetics. The increased demand for the natural product has created new avenues in cosmeceuticals market. The herbal Cosmetics have been the first choice of the customers, for being more potent, easily available and thought to be less side effective. Herbal cosmetics are Fastest growing field of personal care products. Cosmeceuticals is the fastest growing segment of the personal care products these are cosmetic preparations which contain biologically active principles or ingredients of plant origin. In recent years there is an increased demand for the use of herbs in cosmetics due to their mild action and less toxic in nature and they are found to be more effective. The desire of good looking and to be beautiful gave a huge market for the herbal cosmetics. Now a days desire to be look younger than original age, to be look beautiful, fresh, charming and fair have directly increased the demand of herbal cosmetics as well as of the Cosmeceuticals in the market. Hence the review overlooks on the use of herbal cosmetics and cosmeceuticals. It also describes about herbs as cosmetics. Numerous herbal plants are available naturally; they having different chemical constituents used in cosmetics preparations. This review is based on focusing on the cosmeceuticals intended to enhance the health and beauty of skin. Keywords: Herbal cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, herbs, skin care, skin cosmetics, tooth cosmetics, hair cosmetics.

Effect of Pre-treatment Containing Mask Pack Active Ingredients on Permanent Wave and Hair Protection

This study was aimed at investigating the effect of a pre-treatment on hair by using the end paper to which mask pack active ingredients were adsorbed as the pre-treatment before the permanent wave treatment. Among the mask packs with the highest preference in the ‘Hwahae’ application, the mask packs containing active ingredients such as collagen, Houttuynia cordata, and black soybean, which are good for hair protection, were purchased from the market and the active ingredients adsorbed onto the paper for treatment. For the experimental methods, hair thickness, tensile strength, hair cuticle observation using SEM and hair constituent elemental analysis using EDS were conducted. The results of hair thickness, tensile strength, hair cuticle observation and hair constituent elemental analysis showed that the experimental group treated with the active ingredient of black soybean had a hair protection effect. When the active ingredients used as a pre-treatment are developed as hair cosmetics, it is expected to be applied usefully in the field of industry, and thus it is hoped that studies on this will be actively conducted.

Systematic review on skin adverse effects of important hazardous hair cosmetic ingredients with a focus on hairdressers.

The burden of occupational hand eczema in hairdressers is high, and (partly strong) allergens abound in the hair cosmetic products they use. To systematically review published evidence concerning contact allergy to an indicative list of active ingredients of hair cosmetics, namely, p-phenylenediamine (PPD), toluene-2,5-diamine (PTD), persulfates, mostly ammonium persulfate (APS), glyceryl thioglycolate (GMTG), and ammonium thioglycolate (ATG), concerning the prevalence of sensitization, particularly in terms of a comparison (relative risk; RR) between hairdressers and non-hairdressers. Following a PROSPERO-registered and published protocol, eligible literature published from 2000 to February 2021 was identified, yielding 322 publications, and extracted in standardized publication record forms, also considering risk of bias. Based on 141 publications, the contact allergy prevalence to PPD was 4.3% (95% CI: 3.8-4.9%) in consecutively patch tested patients. Other ingredients were mostly tested in an aimed fashion, yielding variable, and partly high contact allergy prevalences. Where possible, the RR was calculated, yielding an average increased sensitization risk in hairdressers of between 5.4 (PPD) and 3.4 (ATG). Additional evidence related to immediate-type hypersensitivity, experimental results, exposures, and information from case reports was qualitatively synthesized. An excess risk of contact allergy is clearly evident from the pooled published evidence from the last 20 years. This should prompt an improvement in working conditions and product safety.

Hair Growth Promotion of Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Skeels) Nanoemulsion Hair Tonic Preparation With Mice (Mus Musculus)

Argan oil is not only used in facial treatments but can also be used for hair care. Argan oil has hair growth activity as it contains oleic acid and linoleic acid, which act to prevent hair loss, strengthen hair, and protect against harmful hair cosmetics, as well as containing tocopherol, which has antioxidant properties. Tocopherol can help to protect from the effects of UV radiation which can damage hair through the melanin pigment and protein fraction. This study aimed to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of argan oil (Argania spinosa Skeels) with levels of 1%, 2%, 3%, in hair tonic nanoemulsion preparations on the hair growth of mice. Hair growth activity was carried out using mice for 21 days. The data were analyzed using one way ANOVA and paired-sample t test. The results showed that after 21 days of testing, there was an increase in hair growth from each formula and the positive control, of 1.891 mm, 2.33mm, 3.484 mm and 2.225 mm, respectively. The hair weights of formula 1, 2, 3, and the positive control were 0.0028, 0.0059, 0.0111 and 0.0070, respectively. The negative control led to a decrease in length and weight by 0.641 mm and -0.0023, respectively. In conclusion, the preparations of hair tonic nanoemulsion using argan oil at concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 3% promoted hair growth in mice.

Analytical Methods and GAPI Assessment Used for the Determination of Toxic Metals in Commercial Cosmetic Products: A Review

Background: The toxic metal content of cosmetics causes worry because of the daily and repeated use of these products, which are placed over thin and sensitive areas of the skin such as the face, eyelids, and lips. Objective: Toxic metals like Fe, Cr, Hg, Cu, Cd, Ni, and As are determined in various types of cosmetics such as colour cosmetics, hair cosmetics, body and face care products, and herbal cosmetics. Last studies estimate that in commercial cosmetics toxic metals might present in amounts making a risk to human health. Methods: Many analysis methods used for determining toxic metals in cosmetics were established. The instruments involving FAAS, ICP-AES, ICP–MS, Hydride generation, Cold vapor, and CE spectrometers with many novel methods were described in this review. Green analytical methods should be developed for determining toxic metals in cosmetics and particularly during the preparation of analytical cosmetic samples. Results: The most tools used for assessing analytical protocols related to green analytical chemistry are GAPI (Green Analytical Procedure Index). GAPI gives good information on the safety of analytical chemistry procedures, depending on the five pentagrams shaped with three color symbols that can be used (green, yellow, and red) referring to low, medium to high impact, respectively. Conclusion: This review offers an overview, analytical chemistry methods and instruments used for the estimation of toxic metals in cosmetics and their GAPI assessment.

Munsell and Ostwald colour spaces: A comparison in the field of hair colouring

AbstractColour science has had a very long history, dotted over the millennia with many contributions from the most diverse fields of human knowledge. At the beginning of the 20th century, Albert Henry Munsell, an artist formally trained in academia, and Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald, Nobel prize for chemistry in 1909 and amateur painter, each envisioned and developed a colour system with a related colour atlas. Both authors recognized the importance of the visual relationship between colours, which they conceived as sensations stemming from, but not merely confined to, pigments and light. We hereby describe the salient features of these colour spaces, their strengths and weaknesses, the authors' analogy of intents and divergence in execution. The contribution of this paper is a discussion on how these are employed both in Italian educational facilities, and salon practice, as well as a suggestion about their use within the industry of human hair cosmetics.

Skin Toxicity of Selected Hair Cosmetic Ingredients: A Review Focusing on Hairdressers.

The safety assessment of cosmetics considers the exposure of a ‘common consumer’, not the occupational exposure of hairdressers. This review aims to compile and appraise evidence regarding the skin toxicity of cysteamine hydrochloride (cysteamine HCl; CAS no. 156-57-0), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP; CAS no. 9003-39-8), PVP copolymers (CAS no. 28211-18-9), sodium laureth sulfate (SLES; CAS no. 9004-82-4), cocamide diethanolamine (cocamide DEA; CAS no. 68603-42-9), and cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB; CAS no. 61789-40-0). A total of 298 articles were identified, of which 70 were included. Meta-analysis revealed that hairdressers have a 1.7-fold increased risk of developing a contact allergy to CAPB compared to controls who are not hairdressers. Hairdressers might have a higher risk of acquiring quantum sensitization against cysteamine HCl compared to a consumer because of their job responsibilities. Regarding cocamide DEA, the irritant potential of this surfactant should not be overlooked. Original articles for PVP, PVP copolymers, and SLES are lacking. This systematic review indicates that the current standards do not effectively address the occupational risks associated with hairdressers’ usage of hair cosmetics. The considerable irritant and/or allergenic potential of substances used in hair cosmetics should prompt a reassessment of current risk assessment practices.

Advances in nanotechnology-based hair care products applied to hair shaft and hair scalp disorders.

Nanotechnology has been intensively applied to the development of novel cosmetic products for hair and scalp care during the last decades. Such a trend is corroborated by the fact that about 19% of the total nanocosmetics registered in the StatNano database are intended for hair and scalp care. Nanotechnology-enabled formulations based on nanoparticles, cyclodextrins, liposomes and nanoemulsions have emerged as novel approaches due to chemical stability and their controlled release. Regarding hair care formulations, nanocarriers can target the hair shaft, hair follicle and scalp. Therefore, they have been used to treat several hair disorders, including dandruff and other hair-damaging conditions. This review addressed the most important nanocarriers applied to hair-related disorders improvement. Furthermore, the application for hair photoprotection and improvement of hair colour duration by nanotechnological formulations is also approached. Besides, we provided an overview of the current scenario of available nano-based commercial hair products and novel patented inventions. From the patent search, the Patent Cooperation Treaty was pointed as the most important depositing agency while the United States of America has been the most depositing country. On the contrary, according to the StatNano database, Brazil stands out in the hair care worldwide market, and it is also the main producer of hair cosmetics based on nanotechnology. As nano-based products offer several advantages over conventional cosmetics, it is expected that in future, there will be more research on nanocarriers applied to hair disorders, as well as commercial products and patent applications.

The Use of Natural Collagen Obtained from Fish Waste in Hair Styling and Care.

Chemically speaking, polymers are multi-molecular compounds that have specific physicochemical properties. Hair cosmetics utilize their ability to create a protective film and make the cosmetic formulation more viscous, which facilitates its application. Natural polymers are encountered in nature, but, in hair cosmetics, artificially modified ones are more often used. Unfortunately, artificially modified polymers are characterized by high resistance to biological factors, which creates an ecological problem. Another reason for a search for natural polymers is their milder action when compared to synthetic ones. One of the new sources of obtaining collagen is the waste connective tissue materials of aquatic animals—skins, spines, dorsal chords and scales, and swim bladders. These raw materials are most often disposed of in landfills, processed into fish meal, or destined for food for animals. The conducted research was aimed at proving the action of natural collagen in hair cosmetics as a substitute for synthetic polymers. In the patients using collagen laminate, it is possible to notice the complete elimination of excessive sebum production, restoration of the correct pH value, and reduction in skin inflammations.

Novel Approaches in Herbal Cosmetics: An Overview

Herbal elements are more first ¬line than the chemical bones due to their easy vacantness and minor side personal effects. Herbal utterances always have attracted considerable attention due to their good exercise and Herbal cosmetics manufactured and used for diurnal purpose include herbal detergents, moisturizers, stain etc. comparatively minor or nil side movables with synthetic medicines. The synthetic beauty product can irritate your skin and effect papules. they could block your pores and make your skin dry or gushy. With herbal cosmetics, one needn't worry about these. The herbal constituent used assure no side effect. unaccustomed herbal mill constituents in multihued statements like hairdressing, hair gels, face packs, face creams have proved to be favourable than the statements containing solely chemical elements. These unaccustomed constituents have helped within the breakthrough of beauty also because the health of a private. Unaccustomed approach of delivering herbal medicines will increase the efficaciousness and safety of herbal medicinals along side the increased stability of the medicine product. Hair cosmetics containing constituents of natural origin give smoothness, lustre to the hair and help within the treatment of varied hair problems like dandruff, alopecia, baldness and lots of else.

Shampoo, conditioner and hair washing

<p>Modern shampoos are much more than just cleansing agents. With rising demands for new milder and ‘greener’ products, the developments in the field of shampoo and conditioners are moving at a faster pace than ever before. Soaps were initially used to clean scalp but are not recommended for hair cleansing because they leave behind a soap scum when mixed with hard water that is difficult to rinse from the hair and scalp. There are different types of shampoos. Besides “normal” cleaning shampoo, there are “specific” shampoos that have additional ingredients targeting some hair problems. Dermatologists most frequently prescribe shampoos but little is taught in medical schools about the hair cosmetics. Most of the prescriptions are based only on the treatment of the scalp and usually disregards the hair fibre health. Hence it is imperative for dermatologists to known about the mechanism of shampoos, different surfactants and where to choose which shampoo.</p>

People’s Perception of Scalp Care Behavior and Customized Cosmetics

Scientific and cultural changes have brought convenient and diverse lifestyles in modern society. At the same time, these advances have brought about some side effects, including chemical, physiological, physical, and environmental factors. With diverse scalp problems due to such effects, there has been a rising interest in shampoo, which directly reaches the scalp and is used every day. As consumption values focus more on individuals and personality these days, it is anticipated that people’s interest in ‘customized shampoo’ will increase. This study aimed to investigate people’s perception of ‘customized shampoo’ and their consumption and use patterns, and the results can be used as basic data for future studies on customized cosmetics. The results found that most respondents were far from a correct diagnosis and perception of their scalp conditions. Even though they understand the necessity of using hair cosmetics according to their scalp conditions, they have not used customized shampoo due to a lack of information. Since few respondents have used customized cosmetics, it was impossible to acquire accurate efficacies and effects. The fact that only a few people use customized cosmetics means that there should be more emphasis on the awareness and development of customized cosmetics manufacturing and distribution. It is expected that the study results would help promote the customized cosmetics industry according to people’s needs through diverse studies on customized cosmetics.

Characterisation of reduction state of cystine linkages on wool fibre surface under heterogeneous reaction conditions

As a natural biomaterial with outstanding properties, keratin fibres hold promising potential in many application fields. The reduction of disulphides in keratin to the corresponding thiols plays a central role e.g. in modification and functionalisation of wool, in hair cosmetics, as well as in advanced applications using keratin as biomaterial. To achieve controlled conditions, the need for a quantitative determination of thiols on the solid wool fibre is evident. This work presents an advanced method of heterogeneous potentiometric back titration method for thiol detection in intact keratin fibres. First, keratin is reductively treated with NaBH4, then the thiol content in keratin is determined using K3[Fe(CN)6] and K2CrO4 as reagents and potentiometric endpoint detection. Thiol concentration in the range between 6.83 and 26.17 (±2.13) μmol/g can be detected with the heterogeneous back titration. Thus, the method is simple in execution and reliable in performance and of significant potential, both as scientific technique to quantify thiols in insoluble keratin material, as well as for process and quality control in industry.

Hair Cosmetics for the Hair Loss Patient.

Medical professionals that treat patients with alopecia usually lack knowledge about hair cosmetics. Trichologists focus on hair cycling and growth problems and not on the hair shaft integrity. This may lead to abandon of the use of the prescribed treatment, such as topical minoxidil or to inadequate traumatic grooming habits that may jeopardize hair follicle health. Shampoos, hair dyes, and hair-straightening products may alter hair fiber structure, remove lipids, and elude protein. Hair procedures such as hair dying and straightening have side effects and health concerns, especially for pregnant women or sensitive hair and scalp patients. Hair breakage, follicle traction, frizz, contact dermatitis, and mutagenicity are possible side effects of hair cosmetics misuse. The proper use of hair care products may help to increase patients' adherence to alopecia treatments and avoid health problems related to inadequate application of hair cosmetics and procedures.

Practical Approach to Hair Loss Diagnosis

Hair loss is one of the common complaints encountered in a cosmetic practice. Evaluating a patient with hair loss requires a thorough understanding of the various causes of hair loss and practical knowledge in hair cosmetics and hair styling procedures. A systematic approach in hair loss evaluation helps the treating physician in arriving at a diagnosis. Various bedside tests and advent of trichoscopy has empowered the physician in arriving at a diagnosis. This article aims to provide the physician a systematic approach in evaluating a patient with hair loss.

Clays in Cosmetics and Personal-Care Products

AbstractClays are used in various cosmetic formulations, such as sunscreens, toothpastes, deodorants, creams, hair cosmetics, makeups, nail polish, facial masks, and shampoos, among others, to improve the organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics, to increase the stability, or to facilitate elaboration. Together with their technological functionalities, clays are cosmetologically active ingredients with cleaning, anti-aging, anti-wrinkling, and sun-care functionalities. Talc, kaolinite, mica, and some smectites are the clay minerals used most frequently in cosmetic products, but several other phyllosilicates as well as modified and synthetic clays are also used. Sometimes, clays are useful in the design of cosmetics just because they are made of rigid, small, and anisometric particles. Kaolinite and mica are made of hard prismatic particles which are lightly abrasive over the skin, teeth, or hair. Electric charges in smectites result in ion-exchange capacities useful in the loading of active cosmetics but also adsorbing and cleaning waste substances. Intermediate net negative charges of smectites result in layer expansion in polar media and specific rheological properties that are very useful in cosmetic formulations. The absence of charged particles in talc and kaolin make them flow easily resulting in lubricant effects. Protection against radiation from the sun by clay particles and decorative effects complete the possibilities of clays in cosmetics. The nomenclature for clays used as ingredients in cosmetics follows historical use and the names of commercial products, rather than following strict compositional principles. In this sense, an effort was made here to correlate the names of the minerals that make up each of the clay-based cosmetic ingredients.
