“…It is a high-efficiency natural insecticide against undesirable insects and mites (Dunn et al 2016;Collins and Cook 2006) used to prevent infestation of livestock and pets, but also to control head lice in humans (Bessette 2005). In North-Africa and around the Mediterranean basin, silica-rich clays known under the name of "rhassoul" or "ghassoul" (Tertiary lacustrine deposits: Chahi et al 1997;Tokarský 2018) are used since ancient times as soap and shampoo (El Fadeli et al 2010;Faustini et al 2018). In this type of clay, the silicates may arise from the dissolution of diatoms (Chahi et al 1997;Robert, Gauthier, and Chamley 1984).…”

“…Moreover, other properties, such as specific surface area or ion exchange capacity, determine the suitability of phyllosilicates, but are rarely taken into account [28]. About the toxicological data, additional information are also reported in literature [34]. For example, Tokarský et al [34] describe the adsorbing properties of clays regarding heavy metals and organic compounds (pollutants and dyes) from water or soil.…”

Hair Care Cosmetics: From Traditional Shampoo to Solid Clay and Herbal Shampoo, A Review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hair is an important part of the body appeal and its look is a health indicator. Accordingly, recent advances in hair science and hair care technologies have been reported in literature claiming innovations and strategies for hair treatments and cosmetic products. The treatment of hair and scalp, primarily, involved the use of shampoo for an effective, but gentle cleansing; however, for years, the shampoo is considered not only as a cosmetic product having the purifying purpose, but it is also responsible for maintaining the health and the beauty of hair, imparting gloss and improving manageability. For meeting the needs of a multitasking formulation, following also the recent marketing-trend addressed to the "natural world", new challenges for cosmetic technology are aimed towards the research of natural ingredients, as well as new techniques for shampoo formulation. Regarding the recent development of solid shampoos, little information is available about their use, formulation and advantages. This review is largely focused on the description of solid shampoos, mainly based on the use of clays, herbs or flours as washing bases alternative to the traditional ones, consisting of a combination of synthetic surfactants, together with other usual ingredients expected in a shampoo formulation.
