Sunsilk is a popular brand of shampoo produced by United Kingdom-based multinational company Unilever.

With a huge variety of


haircare products, Sunsilk is a brand to reckon with. Regardless of whether you have straight hair, wavy or curly hair, flat and limp,
or frizzy hair, Sunsilk claims to have a product for every hair type. There is no doubt that several chemicals are used in shampoos to
formulate them to please every customer. Sunsilk also contains several chemical and natural ingredients that form its shampoos
and hair care product line. Ingredients in shampoos are divided into some specific categories, including solvents, surfactants,
conditioning agents, and others.

Solvents

1. A solvent helps dissolve other substances present in any mixture. It helps make the mixture homogeneous and smooth.
Every shampoo needs a solvent so that the shampoo can be used as a liquid cleaner. The solvents present in Sunsilk
shampoo are Aqua, which is purified water, and Propylene Glycol.

Propylene Glycol is a form of mineral oil that allows retention of moisture in cosmetic products. It is useful in shampoos
because it does not allow moisture to escape and dry out the shampoo.

Surfactants

2. A surfactant modifies the surface tension of water so that surfaces can be cleaned. It also causes the shampoo to foam
and mix evenly with other ingredients to form a smooth mixture. The surfactants present in Sunsilk are Sodium Laureth Sulfate,
Cocamidopropyl Betaine and TEA-DodecylbenzeneSulfonate.

These ingredients help cleanse skin and hair by allowing water to mix with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away.

Conditioning Agents

3. A conditioning agent improves hair appearance and texture. It also helps in styling and makes hair shine. The hair
conditioning agents present in Sunsilk are Dimethiconol, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (GHC), Panthenol, and
Pantolactone.

Dimethiconol is a silicon-based ingredient that smoothes hair and is used in many cosmetics , too. GHC is a derivative of
guar gum and conditions the hair, making it easy to comb. Panthenol is obtained from vitamin B5 and has lubricating
properties which make hair soft and smooth.

Other synthetic ingredients

4. Sunsilk also contains several other ingredients. The opacifiers that make Sunsilk look pearly are Glycol Distearate and
Glyceryl Oleate. Carbomel and PPG-12 are viscosity controllers that regulate how thick the shampoo is. Preservatives in the
shampoo prevent bacterial growth due to possible contamination and DMDM Hydantoin, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium
Sorbate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone are used for this purpose.

Some fragrances used in Sunsilk are Citronellol, Limonene and Linalool. Sunsilk also uses pH adjusters that regulate its
alkalinity. The ingredients used for this are fumaric acid, citric acid and sodium hydroxide

Availability:

Sunsilk is available in over 60 countries worldwide.

Co-Creation collaboration

From 2009 Sunsilk started working with a number of professional hair "experts" to develop new and improved
products. Each hair “issue" variant links to an "expert” with the relevant specialist hair knowledge. For example, Dr
Francesca Fusco, a New York dermatologist, co-created a “hairfall” variant for the brand. The line up also includes:
Jamal Hammadi for Black Shine, Rita Hazan for Vibrant Colour, Teddy Charles for Plumped Up Volume, Thomas
Taw for Damage Reconstruction, Ouidad for Defined Curls and Yuko Yamashita (known for Japanese hair
straightening) for Perfect Straight.
