Hair care products have become ubiquitous items in hair salons and households, with many of us using some form of them every day. But have you ever thought about what goes into the hair care products and why? Read on to find out what the top three most common ingredients are and what they do.
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
This is a mild cleansing agent derived from the amino acid sarcosine and coconut fatty acids. It is a gentle, non-irritating ingredient that helps to improve the foaming and cleansing abilities of formulations.
Panthenol
Panthenol is a chemical substance made from pantothenic acid, also known as Vitamin B5. It occurs organically and can also be produced from both plant and animal sources. It serves as an excellent humectant to make hair soft and silky. Furthermore, the moisturising property of D-Panthenol improves the elasticity of hair strands, thus adding strength, preventing breakage and making hair look healthy and vibrant.
Glycerin
A type of sugar alcohol, glycerin can be derived from animal products, plants and petroleum. It is actually one of the best-known humectants. Among others, it helps to return moisture to dry hair and improves the scalp layer by hydrating it, thereby preventing dandruff. It also conditions the hair, reducing dryness, frizz and breakage. Additionally, glycerin has anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties that can protect the scalp from dryness-related issues, such as an itchy scalp.
