Abstract

The aim of the article is to prepare a synthetic cream shampoo and evaluate its physicochemical properties as a comparative study with marketed formulation. A liquid or cream preparation of soap or detergent to wash the hair is called as shampoo. Now a days the role of shampoo is not only providing the cleaning action but also to provide other benefits like hair growth, hair nourishment, shinny and glossy hairs, dandruff free hairs and many more. Prepared cream shampoo and three marketed formulations were evaluated based on different parameters such as physical appearance, pH, viscosity, surface tension, % solid content, wetting time, foaming capacity, dirt dispersion and were compared. Conclusion is all the shampoo formulations were of good quality and could be used safely and effectively.
