Shampoo Manufacturing & Making Process

How to Produce Shampoo with Our Mixing Equipment’s

A Shampoo is a preparations of a surfactants (i.e. surface active material) in either a liquids, solids or powder form. It contains varying amounts of conditioning agents and many other ingredients in an aqueous base. When used on the hair, it will remove surface grease, dirt, and skin debris from the hair shaft and scalp.

Shampoo, Conditioner & Hand cream Manufacturing Process of Manufacturing the best equipment for your production.

Read on to know how to manufacture shampoo.

Shampoo Formulation

Baby shampoo formulations usually have mild fragrance containing a small percentage of natural oils. In contrast, men’s shampoos contain special dandruff-free ingredients and a masculine aroma. For women, common marketing for shampoos may be having hair-smoothening and hair-moisturizing features. They may also include natural glow and enhanced fragrance. Even pets have specialized shampoos for grooming.

Here’s a typical shampoo formulation:

Ingredient Type Examples Percentage Function
Deionized Water 73-90% Main ingredient of many shampoos and cosmetics as the  main solvent
Primary Surfactant Sodium/Ammonium Lauryl sulfates 8-15% active Main component of shampoo, Foaming and detergency purposes; typically anionic surfactants
Secondary Surfactant Cocamidopropy l Betaine, Coco Betaine, Lauryl/Coco Hydroxypropyl Sultaine, Disodium Cocoamphoacetate, Cocamide MEA, and Deacyl Glucoside. 2-6% active Boosts foam formation; improve detergency, mildness and hair condition; function by forming mixed micelles with anionic primary surfactants in which shampoo is thickened and mildness is induced.
Thickening polymers Stearic ethanol amide 0-2% Increases viscosity of solution
Salt 0-2% 0-2% Thickens solution by reducing micelle charge density, helping to promote the conversion of spherical- to rod-shaped micelles, which can entangle and cause increased viscosity
Opacifying Pearling Agents Alkanolamides of higher fatty acids, propylene glycol, Mg, Ca and Zn salts of stearic acid, spermaceti, etc 0-1% active Substances that make shampoo more light and impenetrable by radiation
Chelating agent EDTA or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid 0.05-.2% Agent for improving hard water flowability and performance
Conditioning emollients Typically Silicone or other minerals such as Lanolin, mineral oil, herbal extracts, egg derivatives 0-1% Added to shampoo to offset the harsh effect of surfactants on hair and fabric; improves and promotes hair softness, smoothness and reduces static charge to make hair less friskier.
Conditioning polymers Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (the most popular), Polyquaternium 10, Polyquaternium 6, and Polyquaternium 7 0-1% Anti-static, wet/dry conditioning
Fragrance 0-.5% Combinations of natural and/or man-made substances that are added to the shampoo that gives a specific smell appealing to the consumer
Preservatives Methyl and propyl paraben, formaldehyde 0.001-1% Prolongs the shelf-life of shampoo.

The Mixing Process of Shampoo

Following the shampoo formulation procedure, a typical manufacturing process would be as follows:

  1. Water is introduced into the process vessel and is heated to 130-140˚F (55-60˚C) to aid dilution/hydration of other ingredients.
  2. The primary and secondary surfactants are added to the water together with the other ingredients such as the thickening polymers and others. At this stage, the dilution of the surfactant will be more difficult.
  3. Conditioners and other ingredients are added.
  4. Next, the pH of the solution can be adjusted to the required level.
  5. Salt is added.
  6. Lastly, color and fragrance are added.

Shampoo Mixing Issues

A number of problems can be encountered when using conventional agitators:

  • As with other cosmetic manufacturing problems in mixing, aeration is always encountered. Aeration can lead to the murking of clear shampoos and can present a problem in the shampoo filling machine.
  • Conditioning emollients such as silicones are immiscible with water and can be chemically incompatible with some surfactants. This makes it a lot more difficult to emulsify or suspend the solution.
  • Insufficient shear can also prevent silicones from being reduced to its finest possible size.
  • Globules can be formed when the agitator does not perform with high shear as many ingredients have a much higher viscosity than water. These globules may simply be washed around without being diluted/dispersed.
  • Thickening agents such as carbomers, and cellulose or gum based products may require high shear mixing to be activated.
  • The addition of sodium chloride becomes increasingly difficult as the viscosity rises.
