Abstract:

The key components, i.e. modified starches and suspending agents, in dry shampoos were studied. The results showed that among the three starches (rice starch, corn starch and tapioca starch) , rice starch exibited the best oil absorption, and its oil absorption test value was 116.5%, while the oil absorption test values of the other two modified starches were 65%. Among the three modified starches, corn starch showed the best anti-flocculation effect in ethanol, followed by rice starch and tapioca starch. Among the three suspending agents commonly used in dry shampoos such as magnesium stearate, magnesium aluminum silicate and aluminum starch octenyl succinate, magnesium stearate and magnesium aluminum silicate had the best anti-flocculation effect, followed byaluminum starch octenyl succinate.

Key words: dry shampoo, oryza sativa (rice) starch, zea mays (corn) starch, magnesium stearate, magnesium aluminum silicate
