There is an ingredient in every shampoo and every "cleaning" agent whether it be for the body, for the hair,for the face,etc., called the "SURFACTANT". The surfactant in shampoos are surface active ingredients, meaning they can interact with a surface. The chemical nature of a surfactant allows it to surround and trap oily materials from surfaces. One portion of the molecule is oil compatible soluble while the other is water soluble.
In other words the surfactant is the detergent - or the "cleaning portion" of the formula.
The surfactant is the portion of the formula that can have the harshness of the formula because it is the detergent. Detergents can be harsh, but they can also be 'gentle'. For the past 20 years almost every shampoo has used the surfactant Sodium Lauryl Sulfate SLS or Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate ALS.
People expect a lot from shampoos. . Cost, fragrance, and lots of foam is what most people look for in shampoo products. Lather and foam does absolutely nothing to make a shampoo a good one, but they often get the most attention.
Foaming occurs when surfactant molecules gather around air instead of oil. The result is millions of tiny bubbles. Obviously, the air bubbles are using the surfactants that should be removing dirt and oil.
The truth is, lots of foamy lather only means too much shampoo was used.
Sebum and other oils quickly destroy foam.
Ideally, the head should have just enough lather to lubricate the scalp and hair. This will help your fingers massage the shampoo more effectively into the hair.
Fragrances and foaming qualities are not good ways to evaluate shampoos.
Thus the Sulphate free shampoo was developed, less foam, but excellent cleaning and conditioning power.
