5. Chemical means of hygiene and cosmetics

The word “hygiene” occurs from the Greek word "hygienos", that means curative, bringing health, and the word “cosmetics” - from the Greek word meaning «art to decorate ». Now the term "cosmetics" use first of all in connection with care from face and body skin. Hygiene is the section of preventive medicine studying influence of an environment on health of a person.

The basic hygienic means are, first of all, soaps and detergents. In given section we will consider structure and properties of shampoos and tooth pastes.

5.1 Shampoos

Shampoos were included in our life from the beginning of 60th years when the manufacture of very effective surface-active substance (SAS) – etoxylated laurilsulphate of sodium began (it is named also sodium lauretsulphate and sodium sulphoetoxylate - ЕМАL 270D).

This substance was received by multistage chemical processing of coconut oil. It became a washing basis of completely new class of products - the specialized means for hair washing. Shampoos have quickly won popularity as possessed a number of advantages: they were washed off much better, than soap, and plentiful foam gave to people aesthetic pleasure. After washing by new means hair were such pure, what even creaked, and drying up, got shine.

Sodium lauretsulphate was appeared the substance to softer, than widely used at that time alkylbenzolsulphonates (now they are applied only in detergent powders and some means of household chemical goods), but it also had lacks. At often application of shampoos the skin could inflame, sometimes there was a furfur.

But how it is possible to reduce irritating action of shampoos if their basis even now remains lauretsulphate? The matter is that, except for sodium lauretsulphate, any shampoo necessarily contains still any surface-active substance salutarily influencing on properties of a ready product. With the help of these substances (co-SAS) try to solve at once some problems. The main thing - to reduce skin irritation.

The first co-SAS were sodium lauretsulphosukcinate. These substances possess soft washing action and not bad reduce dermatological rigidity of a washing composition as a whole even if to replace with them only third or even a quarter of lauretsulphate in shampoo. Sulphosukcinates even now are entered sometimes in structure of children's shampoos «without tears» as they possess soft washing action and are rather cheap. And it is important: for 40 years chemists synthesized many soft co-SAS, but the price of any of them exceeds cost of the basic washing substance, as a rule, in two - three times.

In general, with the help of sulphosukcinates it was possible to solve two vital issues: to reduce dermatological rigidity of shampoo and to lower cost of finished goods.

Why these remarkable soft substances have not superseded lauretsulphate from a compounding of washing mixes completely? The reason is simple: on ability to foaming competitors at lauretsulphate is not present till now. To it could compete unless non-etoxylated laurilsulphate, but this substance costs twice more expensively and irritates a skin more strongly.

The basic active substance of any shampoo is sodium lauretsulphate (sometimes ammonium lauretsulphate). The volume of foam, which a washing mix gives, depends on concentration of this SAS, and any additives can only reduce it. To tell the truth, foam at lauretsulphate is friable and unstable. However it is skilful combining the basic washing substance with one or several soft co-SAS can be achieved same magnificent, but fineer and long not falling foam.

Quality of foam is very important characteristic of shampoo. In fact during washing important not only to tear off from hair a droplet of fat with the dust which has stuck on it, but also to keep it in volume. Otherwise fat and a dirty again settle on hair, and sense from head washing will be a little. Repeated sedimentation of a dirty also makes a usual soap such inconvenient for hair washing though washing characteristics of soap can be not much worse, than at shampoo.
