Sunscreen - Hair Care

Hair Care

Sunscreening agents are used in some hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners and styling agents to protect against protein degradation and color loss. Currently, benzophenone-4 and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate are the two sunscreens most commonly used in hair products. Cinnamidopyltrimonium chloride and a few others are used to a much less degree. The common sunscreens used on skin are rarely used for hair products due to their texture and weight effects.

Famous quotes containing the words hair and/or care:

    Your hair may be brushed, but your mind’s untidy,
    You’ve had about seven hours’ sleep since Friday,
    No wonder you feel that lost sensation;
    You’re sunk from a riot of relaxation.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “So careful of the type?” but no.
    From scarped cliff and quarried stone
    She cries, “A thousand types are gone;
    I care for nothing, all shall go.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
