Success Story: Gentle Foam and a Comfortable Finish Achieved with DOCSTARCH CP Plus in Kids’ Foaming Shampoo
The Unique Challenges of Kids’ Hair Care
Kids’ shampoos require an even higher level of gentleness compared to adult shampoos, as children’s hair and scalp are more delicate. Hair in children aged two and above is thinner and softer, making it prone to tangling and increased friction during washing, often resulting in a rough, squeaky feel. Additionally, product development for kids’ shampoos must consider foam quality and sensory experience. However, a major challenge in foaming shampoo formulations is ensuring foam stability while preventing clogging of the foam mesh filter inside foaming soap dispensers.
How DOCSTARCH CP Plus Provides an Ideal Solution
Our cosmetic ingredient, DOCSTARCH CP Plus, effectively addresses these challenges while also catering to the specific needs of children’s hair, earning high praise from consumers. This case study highlights its success in kids’ foaming shampoo formulations.
Optimized for the Unique Characteristics of Kids’ Hair
Children’s hair is finer and softer than adults’, making it more prone to tangling and friction. Additionally, because of its softness, hair tends to become frizzy and unmanageable after washing, making morning styling difficult.
DOCSTARCH CP Plus forms a smooth, lightweight film on the hair surface, reducing friction, preventing tangles, and ensuring an easy glide for combing. This property makes it an ideal choice for kids’ shampoo formulations, delivering a noticeably improved sensory experience.
Solving Both Foam Stability and Clogging Issues
Traditional high-molecular-weight polymers improve foam stability but often clog the foam mesh filter inside foaming soap dispensers, limiting their use in formulations.
DOCSTARCH CP Plus, with its unique molecular structure, significantly enhances foam stability while minimizing clogging, ensuring that rich, creamy foam is evenly distributed throughout the hair. This allows for a gentler washing experience suited to the fine and delicate nature of children’s hair.
Moreover, despite being a high-molecular-weight polymer, DOCSTARCH CP Plus maintains an optimal viscosity suitable for foaming soap dispensers, maximizing foam stability while minimizing formulation constraints. This dual benefit leads to an improved user experience and easier product development.
Gentle Protection for Hair and Scalp While Enhancing Comfort
- Smooth Combability & Tangle Prevention
By forming a thin protective layer on the hair surface, DOCSTARCH CP Plus improves combability during and after washing, effectively reducing tangling. It delivers exceptional care for delicate kids’ hair. - Reducing Morning Frizz & Dryness
The polymer’s residual protective film helps retain moisture in the hair, leading to smoother, more manageable hair the next morning, making hair care easier for both parents and children. - Enhanced Foam Quality for a Better Washing Experience
With long-lasting, resilient foam, the shampoo spreads evenly across the hair, ensuring a thorough yet gentle cleansing experience, perfectly suited for kids.
