ALWAYS CHECK THE LABEL

1. What are the ingredients common to the products?
 Shampoo – silicones, sulfates, glycol, sodium, water, chloride, carbopol, and fiber
actives

 Deodorant– alcohol, aluminum compounds, fragrance, triclosan, and talcum powder

2. Which of the ingredients will help in making the products effective?

 SHAMPOO - Fiber actives refer to specific ingredients in shampoo formulations that
are designed to penetrate and repair the damaged areas of the hair cuticle. These actives
are crucial components in damage-repairing shampoos as they help to restore the hair's
strength and resilience, leading to a reduction in breakage and split ends. Without fiber
actives, damage-repairing shampoos may not be as effective at restoring damaged hair,
resulting in weaker, less healthy-looking hair. Therefore, including fiber actives in
shampoo formulations is crucial for achieving optimal results when it comes to repairing
and restoring damaged hair.
 DEODORANT - Tatty alcohol, or stearyl alcohol, is a type of fatty alcohol that is
commonly used in deodorant formulations. It is a vital component in controlling body
odor and sweat due to its thickening ability that creates a film on the skin to trap sweat
and odor molecules. Tatty alcohol also has emollient properties, making it effective in
softening and smoothing the skin, reducing dryness and irritation. Additionally, it acts as
a penetration enhancer that helps active ingredients in the deodorant formulation better
absorb into the skin. The inclusion of tatty alcohol in deodorant components is therefore
essential not just for its effectiveness in controlling odor and sweat but also for offering
skin benefits such as moisturization and improved penetration of other active ingredients.
3. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWINGN INGREDIENTS DO YOU THINK
IS DANGEROUS WHEN ITS AMOUN IS NOT REGULATED?
 Sulfates are the most commonly used type of surfactant in shampoos and are known to
be potentially harmful to both hair and skin. They are known to enhance skin sensitivity
and cause irritation to the scalp, leading to symptoms such as itching, dryness, and
redness. Furthermore, sulfates have a stripping effect on the hair by removing its natural
oils, which can result in increased dryness and damage, making it particularly harmful for
people with dry or damaged hair.
 The scent is the most hazardous ingredient in deodorants due to the potential for artificial
fragrance to trigger allergic skin reactions. Allergic reactions can result in symptoms
such as itching, swelling, and redness, leading to discomfort for the user. Therefore,
people with sensitive skin may want to consider using fragrance-free deodorants to
minimize the risk of allergic reactions.
