Cosmetic products, chemical composition of cosmetics

Russian buyers quickly picked up the overseas fashion, and found domestic counterparts of imported goods. There was also a good advertising campaign: newspapers, forums and even a well-known television program about health, told about the miraculous effect of zooshampooes, creams, gels and sprays. Today we will consider some cosmetic products, the chemical composition of cosmetics.

What the doctor did not order!

But there will not be any such expert advice. We must not forget that there is a big difference between the skin of a person and the skin of an animal, and that the tests of zoos of cosmetic and medicinal products are carried out exclusively on animals. This means that the effect of such drugs is unpredictable.

The dosage and frequency of application is also questionable. There may be allergic reactions or simply intolerance to the components of this cosmetics. So do not experiment. The main thing is the difference in the structure of the skin and hair of man and animals. Almost all cosmetics for animals contain these or other medications, for example tar and even anti-inflammatory medications. The effect is possible, but the consequences can be unpredictable! This and various skin rashes, and allergies, as well as exacerbation of the underlying disease, against which treatment is directed. And since the doses are "horse", there is a high probability that they can become aggravated, or serious skin diseases may occur.

Diethanolamide is a nonionic surfactant that is added to shampoos to give the hair silky softness.

Hydrolyzate of keratin - raw materials for the preparation of keratin hydrolyzate can serve as horns and hoofs of cattle. Due to its low molecular weight, it penetrates well into the deep layers. Promotes hair strengthening and growth.

D-panthenol - saturates the hair with essential vitamins, usually added to shampoos designed for brittle hair.

Preservatives - without fail are present in shampoos, because without them the product will have a very short shelf life.


Birch tar is an exfoliating remedy, often used in dandruff shampoos.

Horse shampoo, in principle, is similar in composition with shampoo for people. But remember that the dosages of components in animal products are times greater than those necessary for human hair and skin. But zoological cosmetic means, the chemical composition of cosmetics to abuse, is also not worth it. After all, all this, one way or another, can lead to very bad consequences.
